This book carefully examines transportation markets and standard economic tools, how these resources are used, and how the allocation of society resources affects transportation activities.This textbook is unique in that it uses a detailed analysis of econometric results from current transportation literature to provide an integrated collection of theory and application. Its numerous case studies illustrate the economic principles, discuss testable hypotheses, analyze econometric results, and examine each study's implications for public policy. These features make this a well-developed introduction to the foundations of transportation economics.Additional case studies on a spectrum of domestic and international transportation topics available at http://www.blackwellpublishers.co.uk/mccarthy in order to keep students abreast of recent developments in the field and their implications for public policy.The paperback edition of this book is not available from Blackwell in the US or Canda. 1124266 15 2 2001 Transportation Economics total:1|3:1| 1 3 2 0 0 0 false false Fri Oct 24 22:45:50 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 22:45:50 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jun 24 03:18:34 -0700 2007 Sun Jun 24 03:18:46 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1137022
