This book provides an explanation of key underlying economic
principles, allowing the reader to come to a better understanding
of the critical factors that structure and guide transport markets.
This is done through an examination of the interaction between the
behaviour of individual users and providers of transport services
and transport authorities actions through the implementation of
transport policy. The book also considers on-going reforms in the
organisation of all aspects of transport provision. These reforms
seek to move transport delivery away from a model of high state
intervention towards one that is far more market focused in its
approach, thereby significantly increasing individuals
responsibilities for their own transport actions.
The Economics of Transport covers topics such as;
- The demand and supply of transport services
- Market structures and the underlying economic characteristics
of transport markets
- The economics of transport and the environment
- Transport subsidises and regulation
- Transport forecasting and appraisal
With a selection of case studies and exercises, this book will
be of use to higher level students. It will also be of interest to
professionals in the transport planning, transport modelling and
transport economics fields.
