Transport continues to present considerable challenges for both
policymakers and economists throughout the world. This book
provides a rigorous analytical approach to transport economics and
transport policy, showing how economic principles can be applied to
problems and practical solutions derived. As well as providing
detailed coverage on the conventional topics of demand, costs,
market structure, externalities, investment appraisal and
regulation, the book also examines the wider role of transport in
the economy as a whole. In addition, the authors address the
important link between transport and issues of location, urban and
regional development, and economic growth. Throughout the book
there are frequent references to policy issues at both the national
and EU level, complemented by a comprehensive discussion on the
different ways in which policy has evolved in various European
countries. The concluding chapter draws together some of the
problems encountered in moving from the theories and models
developed in the book to the actual implementation of specific
policy measures. The authors believe that only policies based on a
thorough understanding of the economics of transport can help solve
some of the pressing problems facing governments across Europe.
This unique book addresses a wide range of issues and makes use of
cutting-edge data to provide a set of universal tools to analyse
and inform policy at all levels. It assumes only a basic knowledge
of economics and will be essential reading for students at advanced
undergraduate and postgraduate level following courses on transport
economics, regional science, urban studies and geography. It will
also prove a valuable source of reference for policymakers involved
in the provision and regulation of transport and researchers
interested in transport planning and policy.
