This timely book deals with the problem of pricing passenger and
freight transportation within Europe. The contributors argue that
current legislation affecting pricing and regulation is
increasingly less successful in dealing with market failures and
externalities such as congestion, air pollution, noise and
accidents. Technological progress and greater European co-operation
has brought increased scope for the reform of transport policies.
Reforming Transport Pricing in the European Union includes an
economic diagnosis of the pricing problem, proposals for new
pricing and regulation structures together with a quantified
assessment of the likely impact for several European cities and
countries. The effects of traffic volume, cost, and overall
economic welfare are computed for all forms of passenger and
freight transport in urban and non-urban areas. The book analyses
various alternative policies including combinations of higher fuel
excise, alternative parking policies, cordon pricing, electronic
road pricing and emissions regulation. The research is based on a
set of formal models which facilitate the analysis and comparison
of results. The range of policies studied and the variety of
methodologies employed, will ensure that this book will be of great
benefit to European and national transport policymakers, transport
economists and transport consultants.
