AN ECONOMIC MODELING APPROACH FOR THE REFORM OF URBAN TRANSPORT PRICING

In this model various transport options for the household are represented. These options differ in social costs and in (generalized) prices. Transport demand is represented by a nested CES function. Transport supply is represented with constant returns to scale cost functions, except for the Mohring effect in the public transport. The urban road network is represented as one congested link. The model is calibrated to a reference equilibrium. It is then used to assess the social welfare impacts of alternative sets of policy instruments (public transport pricing, environmental regulation, fuel taxes, road pricing and parking charges).
