Extract: Numerous studies of waterway user charges have assumed that increased fuel taxes are immediately passed down to the farmer. This study questions that assumption and offers empirical evidence and economic logic to show otherwise. The study identifies the relationship between fuel costs, barge rates, prices paid for grain, and traffic diversion between barge and rail. It also estimates total tax revenue generated under alternative tax rates, by river segment in Illinois.
