This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen considerable changes in the technology of transportation with the development of high-speed rail networks, more fuelefficient automobiles and aircraft, and the widespread adoption of informatics in disciplines such as traffic management and supply chain logistics. The contributions to this volume assess transportation interactions with employment and income, examine some of the policies that have been deployed to maximize the economic and social impacts of transportation provision at the local and regional levels and analyze how advances in transportation technologies have, and will, impact future development. Due in part to the general liberalization of markets, there have been major changes in the institutional environment in which transportation is supplied; these changes inevitably affect wider economic systems and development, although in turn these changes feed back upon transportation networks. The contributors to this work develop these and other themes, from a variety of perspectives, implementing a wide range of academic approaches into their analyses. Stemming from initiatives of the Network on European Communications and Transport Activities Research (NECTAR), Transportation and Economic Development Challenges presents a body of research that exemplifies the organization's objective of fostering research collaboration around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a considerably revised version of the 1993 European Transport Economics, economists from across Europe, the US, and Chile critically examine and summarize the scope of transport economics, then analyze in detail the production of transport, travel demand, transport externalities, and transport markets. They also examine transport policy both regarding infrastructure and transport markets, paying special attention to the role of government after deregulation and to the transport policy of the European Union, and analyze transport infrastructure in view of its effects on the wider economy. Finally they explore the role of transport specifically in urban environments, transition economies, and developing countries. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
