Description
This volume of
Research in Transportation Economics reflects the changes that are occurring in the transportation arena as we
enter the twenty-first century. In the US, the transportation industries, rail and trucking in particular, are still adjusting to deregulation
that has taken place since the 1970's. The emerging transportation issues focus less on economic regulation of the transport sector and
more on policies to deal with congestion, optimal pricing, and the allocation of scarce resources. The papers presented represent a diverse
view of transportation economics, in a field that is forever changing as regulations change, ecnomic growth continues, and our econometric
and modeling methods become increasingly refined.
"The series is abstracted and indexed in Journal of Economic Literature and in
EconLit."
