Economically efficient prices for the passenger transportation system in the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Area would account for broader societal costs of traffic congestion and accidents, and local and global pollution. A

We estimate efficient prices for passenger transportation in Greater Cairo to address externalities from local pollution, greenhouse gases, traffic congestion, and traffic accidents. An estimated $2.20 per gallon gasoline tax (2006 US$) would be economically efficient, compared with the current...

A congestion tax raises the overall costs of commuting to work and discourages labor force participation. The resulting welfare loss in the labor market...

The presence of preexisting tax distortions, and the form of revenue recycling, can crucially affect the size - and possibly even the sign - of the welfare effect of road pricing schemes. The efficiency gains from recycling congestion tax revenues in other tax reductions can amount to several...
