In this paper we analyse the gap between present transport prices and efficient transport prices. Efficient transport prices are those prices that maximise economic welfare, including external costs (congestion, air pollution, accidents). The methodology is applied to six urban and interregional...

The purpose of this paper is to study welfare-optimal pricing of passenger and freight transport services in a federation. First a theoretical model is constructed that clearly identifies the implications of the international dimension of transport flows and the associated externalities for...

The purpose of this paper is to study welfare-optimal pricing of passenger and freight transport services in a federation. The prevalence of international transport flows in small open economies creates opportunities for tax competition and tax exporting. The latter strongly depend on the...
