Author Description

Transport economics has become a well-developed discipline with branches in many areas of economic science. Consequently, it is not easy for a reader to acquire a general overview. The purpose of Transport Economics, however, is to combine four different perspectives in a single volume and to provide a general overview. The four parts have been written independently, which makes it easier for the reader, if required, to restrict himself to whatever part he finds to be of particular interest. Likewise, an effort has been made to allow the reader to choose whether or not to examine the mathematical techniques presented. Those who wish can skip the formulas and mathematical passages and still retain an interesting and coherent text. This handbook will encourage rational analysis and contribute to successful decisions, both within transport firms and in policymaking.
