Title: The economics of regulating road transport
First published: 1996
Description: The Economics of Regulating Road Transport explores welfare economic evaluations - in terms of efficiency as well as equity and social feasibility - of regulatory policies and policy mixes directly aimed at, or indirectly connected to, the containment of market failures in road transport.

The discussion ranges from static analyses at the level of individual actors and firms to the dynamic behaviour of large spatio-economic systems. Part I explores the economic rationale behind regulating road transport, part II investigates issues of efficiency in the regulation of road transport and part III discusses the issue of equity and social feasibility versus efficiency.

This book will be of interest to students of environmental economics and transport economics and to transport and environmental policy makers at the local, regional, national and international level.
