ON ROAD CONGESTION THEORY

This paper draws together a number of theoretical matters pertaining to the problem of road pricing. It contains contributions on a new way to think about peak load pricing and on the road system as a Samuelsonian public good, which may also be subject to an indivisibility constraint for investment and sharply decreasing returns to utilization in the short run.
