We evaluate how HSR configuration affects capac ity investment levels\, profits and social welfare depending on different influential factors\, namely economies of traffic density\, market size an d the opportunity cost of capital. Our investigations focus on a public we lfare maximiser entity\, which provides transport services and is also the infrastructure developer. We find that the grid network is more likely to be preferred by a social welfare maximising entity when the unit investme nt cost is low\, the demand for the isolated city-pair market is low\, the marginal operating cost (excluding density effect) is low and traffic den sity effect is high. We also investigate whether and when relevant conflic ts arise: (i) does the network with higher investment brings higher social welfare?\; (ii) does the network with higher consumer surplus and social welfare also brings higher operating profit?\; (iii) is operating profit s ufficient to recover investment costs?. We show that the choice of the gri d network is more likely to encounter problem of investment cost recovery as the density effect increases. Short Bio: Tiziana D’Alfonso is Assistant Professor at Sapienza University of Rome\, Department of Computer\, Contr ol and Management Engineering and Associate Fellow of the University of Ma nitoba Transport Institute (Canada).
