Applied Transport Economics introduces the reader to the theory of transport economics through a range of practical examples. Professor Stuart Cole investigates the application of economic theory to commercial transport operations, public policy issues and the role of transport in its wider economic context, making this book essential reading for managers, policy makers and all economists with an interest in the practical application of theoretical models.The book is also designed to suit the needs of students of transport, economics, business, management, public policy and business strategy.
Now in its third edition, it has been extensively revised to take account of the many recent changes that have taken place within the transport sector. As well as covering all aspects of transport economics, including pricing policies, cost structures and public policy economic appraisal techniques, the author provides a clear analysis of changes to transport provision in Eastern Europe, and the case studies included throughout have been fully updated. Each chapter also contains a new bibliography and an extended further reading section.
