Abstract

We examine the evolution of taxi regulation in NorthAmerica, providing a history of North American taxiregulation. We study the current structure of taxiregulation by generally looking at regulations inNorth America and specifically looking at regulationin New York City, the Boston metropolitan area, andLos Angeles. We discuss theoretical justificationsfor these regulations. By examining how the taxiindustry differs from other industries, we explainthe prevalence of price and quantity regulations,and why the industry remains heavily regulateddespite numerous attempts at deregulation. Wediscuss the cost of current regulations and howemerging technologies may face similar regulatorychallenges but may also offer new opportunities.

Özet

Kuzey Amerika’daki taksi düzenlemesinin evrimini inceleyerek Kuzey Amerika’daki taksi düzenlemesinin tarihini ortaya koyuyoruz. Özellikle New York şehri, Boston metropol bölgesi ve Los Angeles’taki düzenlemeleri inceleyerek Kuzey Amerika’daki taksi düzenlemesinin güncel yapısını araştırıyoruz. Bu düzenlemeler için teorik gerekçeleri tartışıyoruz. Taksi endüstrisinin diğer endüstrilerden nasıl ayrıldığını inceleyerek, fiyat ve miktar düzenlemelerinin yaygınlığını ve düzenlemeleri kaldırmak için çok sayıda teşebbüse rağmen bu endüstrinin neden yoğun olarak düzenlendiğini açıklıyoruz. Mevcut düzenlemelerin maliyetini ve yeni ortaya çıkan ve yeni fırsatlar sunabilecek olan teknolojilerin nasıl benzer düzenleyici zorluklarla karşılaşabileceğini tartışıyoruz.
