Opis: Pricing in Road Transport A Multi-disciplinary Perspective - E Verhoef

Transport pricing is high on the political agenda throughout the world, but governments seeking to implement this often face challenging questions and significant barriers. The associated policy and research questions are not always addressed adequately from a mono-disciplinary perspective. This book shows how a multi-disciplinary approach may lead to new types of analysis and insights, contributing to a better understanding of the ins and outs of transport pricing and therewith, eventually, potentially to a more effective and acceptable design of such policies. The book addresses important policy and research themes such as the possible motives for introducing road transport pricing and potential conflicts between these motives, behavioural responses in transport pricing for households and firms, the modelling of transport pricing, and the acceptability of transport pricing.Contents:1.
