Description

"European Transport Economics" presents the main theoretical and practical issues that transport raises for all modern economies. Experts throughout Europe have contributed to this seminal analysis of recent research and the many innovative practical initiatives to tackle contemporary transport problems. Topics covered include: travel demand; transport markets and supply; the external effects of transport; new technical developments; and the role of government. This should be a useful source of information for all students and practitioners of transport economics.
