Recent years have seen considerable changes in the technology of
transportation with the development of high-speed rail networks,
more fuel-efficient automobiles and aircraft, and the widespread
adoption of informatics in disciplines such as traffic management
and supply chain logistics. The authors in this volume assess
transportation interactions with employment and income, examine
some of the policies that have been deployed to maximize the
economic and social impacts of transportation provision at the
local and regional levels and analyze how advances in
transportation technologies have impacted, and will, impact future
development. Due in part to the general liberalization of markets,
there have been major changes in the institutional environment in
which transportation is supplied; these changes inevitably affect
wider economic systems and development, although in turn these
changes feed back upon transportation networks. The contributors to
this work develop these and other themes from a variety of
perspectives, implementing a wide range of academic approaches into
their analyses. Stemming from initiatives of the Network on
European Communications and Transport Activities Research (NECTAR),
Transportation and Economic Development Challenges presents a body
of research that exemplifies the organization's objective of
fostering research collaboration around the world. This book serves
as a much-needed bridge between transportation and economic
development. As such, it will be of significant interest to
students and scholars of economics, transport studies and
development, policymakers, and anyone with an interest in
broadening their understanding of the links between economics and
transportation.
