Macroeconomic analysis of transport pricing regimes in the EU

This paper presents a macroeconomic analysis of 10 different transport pricing policies that have been designed in EU funded projects like REVENUE or TIPMAC. The policies differ in terms of where and for which mode charges are introduced and how revenues of the charges are allocated to the economic actors. The impact analysis is performed by using the integrated economy transport environment assessment model ASTRA. The analysis identifies a set of transporteconomic mechanisms that are relevant to consider and to design successful pricing policies for transport.
