This paper deals with the evaluation of welfare effects concerning marginal cost pricing implementation paths in interurban transport. The the results of modelling case-studies carried out in the MC-ICAMproject are introduced.

Marginal cost transport pricing - if implemented in European cities - may give rise to substantial welfare benefits for the urban populations. Depending on the local conditions and on the policy instruments used, annual welfare gains may typically amount to 100-400 euros per capita, as measured...

We apply a modelling framework, RETRO, based on the land use and transport models for determination of implementation paths for marginal social cost pricing of passenger transport in Greater Oslo. Marginal social cost pricing strategies are assessed through welfare maximisation with respect to...

The aim of this paper is to describe and apply a comprehensive framework to derive optimal and acceptable land use and transport strategies. The framework includes a constrained optimisation algorithm that approximates and maximises an objective function with respect to available land use and...
