Benefits and costs of transport : classification, methodologies and policies

Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter; Rietveld, Piet; … - 1997

This paper discusses a number of issues centred around the evaluation of the benefits and costs of transport. It is argued that, for various reasons, transport cannot be treated as an ‘ordinary’ economic sector, and in the paper the policy implications of a number of the sector’s...

The realities of using "benefit transfers" in transport decision-making

Button, Kenneth John; Nijkamp, Peter - 1998

There is an increasing demand for transport decisions to be made in thelight of some form of what may generically be called cost benefit analysis(CBA). The actual techniques may vary and often deviate quite significantlyfrom the conventional economic concept of CBA but in all cases theprocedures...

Stick to the plan? : a revealed-preference study of behavioural impacts of traffic information

Tseng, Yin-Yen; Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010 - This version: 14/07/10

traffic information on traveller behaviour. Specifically, we distinguish between the marginal impact of expected travel times …-phone with traffic information as a reward in our experiment respond to the deviation of actual travel times from the expectation …, which they did not do before. This we interpret as evidence that traffic information indeed affects behaviour. We also find …

A meta-analysis of price elasticities of transport demand in a general equilibrium framework

Kremers, Hans; Nijkamp, Peter; Rietveld, Piet - 2000

Price elasticities of transport demand are an important tool toassess the impacts of pricing policies. Empirical research on these elasticitiesleads to a rather wide range of outcomes. There is obviously a need for a morerigorous methodological framework. This paper provides a new...
