Second-best road pricing through highway franchising
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2005
This paper considers the welfare impacts of a range of franchising regimes for congestible highways. For a single road in isolation, it is shown that a competitive auction with the level of road use as the decision criterion produces the socially optimal road (in terms of capacity and toll...

Political and public acceptability of congestion pricing : ideology and self interest
Hårsman, Björn; Quigley, John M. - 2009
Studies of the "stated preferences" of households generally report public and political opposition by urban commuters to congestion pricing. It is thought that this opposition inhibits or precludes tolls and pricing systems that would enhance efficiency in the use of scarce roadways. This paper...

Shifting Death to Their Alternatives : The Case of Toll Motorways
Albalate, Daniel - 2011
A renewed interest on the use of tolls for funding motorways and regulating their demands has been recovered in the last years. However, less attention has been put to the road safety effects derived from this policy. Although toll motorways show quality levels equal or above free motorways,...

Highway Toll Pricing
Wang, Yuntong - 2009
For a tolled highway where consecutive sections allow vehicles enter and exit unrestrictedly, we propose a simple toll pricing method. We show that the method is the unique method that satisfies the properties of Transit-proofness (No Merging or Splitting) and Cost Recovery. The...
