The Use of Transferable Permits in the Transport Sector

Raux, Charles - HAL - 2002

This report focuses on the potential use of domestic transferable permit (TPs) systems in the transport sector, in order to address the issue of mobility needs management and especially the reductions of airborne pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Firstly the context of the transport sector...

Assessing the Effect of Foster-Children Supply on Biological Children Education Demand : Some Evidence from Cameroon

Marazyan, Karine - HAL - 2009

Cameroon. To address the endogeneity of foster-children supply, we estimate both decision within a recursive bivariate probit … in Cameroon, kinship rules involve children to be hosted by brothers of the male kin group, and more likely by the eldest …. Using data from the demographic and health survey of Cameroon (2004), a dataset uniquely suitable for our purpose since …

Distributed Lag Models and Economic Growth: Evidence from Cameroon

Fouda, Boniface Bounoung - HAL - 2010

This paper studies the intertemporal effects of various economic variables on the cameroonian growth. Using a Geometric Lag Model, we find out that 50% of the total effect of variables used is accomplished in less than half of a year. When we employ a Polynomial Distributed Lag, we find out that...

Institutional Evolution, static and dynamic approaches in assessing performance related to development goals

Fok, Michel; Tazi, Sophia - HAL - 2003

1. The Resocot Projet is a research project which brought together teams of researchers from the North and Africa, not all of which were familiar with the theoretical approach used at the outset. This project aims at developing a methodology and materials to help assess the performance of the...

The reform of passenger rail in Switzerland: more performance without competition

Desmaris, Christian - HAL - 2013

The Swiss railway system is known for its high quality of service and integration in a particularly dense public transport system. People are generally less aware of ongoing institutional reform. This article strives to shed light on passenger traffic reform, and more particularly on regional...

The determinants of urban public transport: an international comparison and econometric analysis

Joly, Iragaël; Masson, Sophie; Petiot, Romain - HAL - 2004

The analysis presented in this paper is based on the database created by the UITP (International Association of Public Transport), "The Millennium Cities Database", which covers the public transport systems in 100 of the world's cities. It contains data on demography, urban structure, transport...

The link between travel Time Budget and Speed: a Key relationship for urban space-time dynamics

Joly, Iragaël - HAL - 2004

The relationship between travel time budget (TTB) and speed is central to transport economics and allows us to analyze travel behaviour, urban structure and the transport system. Together, this relationship and Zahavi's hypothesis provide a straightforward mechanism that explains the increase in...

Stochastic Risk vs. Policy Oriented Uncertainties: The Case of the Alpine Crossings

Brunel, Julien - HAL - 2004

This paper focuses on uncertainties in traffic forecasting. Three major sources of uncertainties are observed for freight demand models. The first one is the model specification itself. We are not interested by it. The second one concerns uncertainties over forecasting hypotheses. A mean to...

Transport, health and climate change: Deciding on the optimal policy

Cabantous, Laure; Chanel, Olivier; Vergnaud, Jean-Christophe - HAL - 2010

Transport generates many externalities, some related to atmospheric pollution. In this paper, we focus on two: greenhouse gases, and local pollution. In the search for optimal transport policies, these two externalities have usually been analysed separately. Here, we study them jointly, in a...
