Description
Book SynopsisThe transport sector has many unique characteristics - non-storability, economies of scale and scope, indivisibilities and extensive production of positive and negative externalities - that need careful consideration in any analysis.
Trade Review'This book's title reveals a great ambition and the content, which covers all transport modes and all critical issues of our discipline, reaches a remarkable level of thoroughness. I have no doubt that this book will become a most valuable tool for students and researchers in transport economics.' --(Alain Bonnafous, University of Lyon, France)
