TRANSPORT DISCOUNTERS: HOW IT WORKS
Abstract
Ideas of discounterism, in researchers' opinion, have emerged as a response to market's «glut», excess of supply over demand. And to some extent the elements of discount technology have been used by carriers of goods and passengers for over half a century. The authors correlate the scientific understanding of market relations with myths (four of them are reviewed) and prejudices about companies-discounters, give their opinion on their practices and pricing policies, economic assumptions of the existence of this phenomenon in the transport business.
