Summary: "Taking a comprehensive approach to two central, closely intertwined themes in the field of transport economics, this illuminating Handbook recognises the critical socioeconomic importance of transport pricing and financing. The expert contributors provide insights into how pricing goes beyond fulfilling pure financial requirements, and may help pursuing economic efficiency. The Handbook also devotes attention to new technologies such as digital payment channels, information provision, and dynamic pricing techniques. The authors cover the challenges and opportunities caused by the appearance of new modes of transport such as ride-hailing and automated vehicles. Furthermore, this timely Handbook also helps to address ongoing global issues such as climate change and sustainable development, explicitly recognizing challenges faced in regions across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. This immersive Handbook will provide undergraduate and postgraduate students of economics, environmental science, transport, political science and urban planning studies with a useful introduction to the topics and the necessary tools to undertake research in transport pricing and financing. Practitioners wishing to understand the theory behind transport pricing and financing decisions will also find this Handbook a useful resource"--PPN: PPN: 1847416586Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EEM-ebook | ZDB-1-EWE | ZDB-77-ECE | ZDB-1-EEM | ZDB-77-EEC | ZDB-77-EEG | GBV-77-EEC-HCU | ZDB-1-EWE-ebook
