The emissions reduction potential for freight transport on a high-speed rail line along the "European Silk Road"
Arsenev, Aleksandr; Angers, Erica; Holzner, Mario - 2023
This report estimates the CO2 emissions of freight transport on a hypothetical high-speed rail (HSR) line along the northern route, from Lyon to Warsaw, of a 'European Silk Road' (ESR). Using a methodology consisting of predictions regarding the freight-carrying capacity of the future HSR, and...

Fuel economy standards and public transport
Berger, Julius; Marz, Waldemar - 2024
We identify and examine a novel welfare channel of fuel economy standards through the in-teraction with public transit and households’ location choices. A stricter emission standard for cars decreases the marginal cost of driving and triggers a shift in modal choice from public to private...
