Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author presents a remarkably detailed methodology for calculating rail freight-rate indexes for various agricultural commodities in the United States. The author accomplished this by examining rail traffic patterns, seasonality of traffic flow, and the impact of time on index series. The methods outlined offer a useful tool for researchers to study historical freight rates for rail-hauled grains, livestock, fresh produce, and more, and for policymakers to evaluate the impact of freight rates on the agricultural industry.
