Applications of Transport Economics and imperfect competition
Research in Transportation Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Emile Quinet, David MeunierAbstract:The great majority of analyses made in Transport Economics use, explicitly or, more often, implicitly, the common assumption of perfect competition. This is the case, for instance, when infrastructure projects are evaluated using the mere sum of the surpluses of Transport users and providers. Even when putting aside the question of externalities such as noise, safety or environmental quality, the real chain of economic interactions that takes place in Transport provision or downstream of Transport provision is not taken into account. Surely enough, describing and simulating this chain could be quite complex. Nevertheless, it is not uninteresting to try to estimate if it does make a big difference or not to make this approximation. The paper makes such an attempt for two broad kinds of applications of Transport Economics: Transport pricing and Project assessment.

A Handbook of Transport Economics
2011Co-Authors: André De Palma, Robin Lindsey, Emile Quinet, Roger W. VickermanAbstract:Bringing together insights and perspectives from close to 70 of the world's leading experts in the field, this timely Handbook provides an up-to-date guide to the most recent and state-of-the-art advances in Transport Economics. The comprehensive coverage includes topics such as the relationship between Transport and the spatial economy, recent advances in travel demand analysis, the external costs of Transport, investment appraisal, pricing, equity issues, competition and regulation, the role of public - private partnerships and the development of policy in local bus services, rail, air and maritime Transport. This Handbook is designed both for use on postgraduate and advanced undergraduate courses and as a reference for anyone working in the field. It also complements the textbook Principles of Transport Economics.

Handbook Of Transport Economics
2011Co-Authors: André De Palma, Emile Quinet, Charles Lindsey, Roger W. VickermanAbstract:'This Handbook is a stellar compilation of up-to-date knowledge about the important topics in Transport Economics. Authors include the very best in the field, and they cover the most important topics for today's research and policy applications. Individual chapters contain sound, readable, well referenced explanations of each topic's history and current status. I cannot think of a better place to start for anyone wanting to become current in the field or in any of its parts.' - Kenneth Small, University of California-Irvine, US

Principles of Transport Economics
2004Co-Authors: Emile Quinet, Roger W. VickermanAbstract:This book offers an analytical approach to worldwide Transport Economics and Transport policy. Its aim is to show how economic principles can be applied to problems and practical solutions derived. The book addresses a range of issues and uses cutting edge data to provide universal tools to analyze and inform policy at all levels. The reader is assumed to have basic knowledge of Economics. The book will also provide valuable reference material for policy makers who are involved in providing and regulating Transport and researchers who are inerested in Transport planning and policy.

TRAVEL DEMAND. IN: ANALYTICAL Transport Economics. AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Edward Elgar Publishing, 2000Co-Authors: M M FischerAbstract:This paper describes how Transport planning is basically concerned with the establishment of a stable relationship between the demand for, and the supply of traffic infrastructure and Transport services. In recent years and in the current environment, the relationship between supply and demand has been somewhat one-sided in many European countries in the sense that (commodity and person) Transport growth and demand for Transport services have outstripped both investment outlay and institutional ability to deal with the complexity of the problem attached to the renewal and expansion of Transport infrastructure. This strong contrast between traffic growth and infrastructure investments since the 1970s has resulted in Transport bottlenecks in many countries and regions. This paper focuses on passenger Transport and travel demand. The legacy of more than three decades of travel demand analysis is a larger, rather diverse and often disparate body of information. No longer is research into travel demand to be focused narrowly on the theme of forecasting. The need for the understanding of travel behavior has become a prominent theme. The paper describes how this broader debate has resulted in an influx of new ideas, methodologies, and techniques, which were stimulating to traffic researchers, but have frustrated Transport practitioners seeking to identify state-of-the-art in the field.

EUROPEAN Transport Economics: CHAPTER 2. TRAVEL DEMAND
1993Co-Authors: M M FischerAbstract:This chapter discusses various aspects of travel demand models, mainly passenger travel models, and offers some views on outstanding research issues. Developments are described in the following three broad classes of travel demand models: (1) traditional four-stage Transport models, associated with large urban Transport studies and characterised by aggregate and descriptive uses of data; (2) the microeconomic approach of travel choice behaviour, based on random utility theory and emphasising the explanation of behaviour at the individual level; and (3) the activity-oriented approach, based on more holistic research styles and viewing travel behaviour as patterns of behaviour occurring once a day or several times a day, related to differences in people's life styles and participation in activities. Two major priorities are indicated, on which research and development should concentrate during the 1990s. For the covering abstract see IRRD 874715.

DTF (Danish Transport Research Institute)-Linking safety, risks, models and economy in Transport
IATSS Research, 2006Co-Authors: Inger Marie Bernhoft, Camilla Brems, Ole KveiborgAbstract:The article outlines the organization and operation of the Danish Transport Research Institute (DTF), which is a branch of the Danish Ministry of Transport and Energy. The institute, which primarily conducts academically-based research, is comprised of two departments, the department of Safety and Risk and the department of Transport Economics and Modeling. Also described is the organization's ModelCenter, which provides the two departments with data and modeling resources. The department of Transport Safety and Risk investigates issues such as drunk driving and other social characteristics of roadway use. The department of Transport Economics and Modeling provides the government with information regarding public Transportation utilization, road pricing for trucks and private cars, and forecasting for Transportation trends. The ModelCenter, in addition to its support role, also provides political advising regarding Transportation.
