Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Transport Economics and Policy

Handbooks of Research Methods and Applications series

Edited by Chris Nash, Research Professor, Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds, UK and Visiting Professor, Masaryk University, Czech Republic

Transport economics and policy analysis is a field which has seen major advances in methodology in recent decades, covering issues such as estimating cost functions, modelling of demand, dealing with externalities, examining industry ownership and structure, pricing and investment decisions and measuring economic impacts. This Handbook contains reviews of all these methods, with an emphasis on practical applications, commissioned from an international cast of experts in the field.

‘This book’s title reveals a great ambition and the content, which covers all transport modes and all critical issues of our discipline, reaches a remarkable level of thoroughness. I have no doubt that this book will become a most valuable tool for students and researchers in transport economics.’
– Alain Bonnafous, University of Lyon, France
