First Published in 1997. This book contains a set of readings which convey clearly the fundamental concepts, theory and methodologies essential for the teaching and study of transport economics. The papers were carefully selected by seven prominent and experienced professors of transport economics for their usefulness in teaching. As such, most of the twenty-seven papers included in the book deal with timeless and fundamental subjects in transport economics and have been evaluated by many instructors as being effective papers for teaching. The book is organised into six parts: Transport Demand, Transport Cost, Pricing, Infrastructure, Regulation and Market Structure, and Project Evaluation.
