This study outlines a method to estimate the short run marginal cost (SRMC) for road and railway noise. It is based on … standardized calculation methods for total noise levels and monetary cost estimates from well established evaluation methods. Here … directly applied using other standardized noise calculation methods and monetary values. This implies that the current …

Determining the monetary impact of transportation noise is increasingly important. Several methods exist to estimate … the monetary values. In this paper two different methods are compared; monetary values based on noise levels and annoyance … for noise levels. Using annoyance also puts a limit on how fast the noise valuation increases as the sound level …

One way of mitigating the negative effects of noise from road traffic is to include the external cost of noise in a … road charging system. This study shows how standardized calculation methods for road traffic noise can be used together … with monetary estimates of the social cost of noise exposure to calculate charges based on the social marginal cost. Using …

infrastructure. Internalization of the social cost of noise is of particular interest, since it is the only environmental problem … perceived as more troublesome today than in the early 1990s. <p> <p> Inclusion of a noise component in rail infrastructure … charges raises two issues: (i) the monetary evaluation of noise abatement, since noise is a non-market good, and (ii) the …

This study examines the effect of road and railway noise on property prices. It uses the hedonic regression technique … on a Swedish data set that contains information about both road and railway noise for each property, and finds that road … noise has a larger negative impact on the property prices than railway noise. This is in line with the evidence from the …

, infrastructure charges in the European Union shall be based on short-run marginal costs. This paper shows that railway-noise charges … can be estimated using already obtained knowledge of monetary and acoustical noise evaluation. Most European countries … have standardised calculation methods for total noise level, which can be used to estimate the marginal acoustical effect …
