Abstract

Transport economics has become a well-developed discipline with branches in many areas of economic science. Consequently, it is not easy for a reader to acquire a general overview. The purpose of Transport Economics, however, is to combine four different perspectives in a single volume and to provide a general overview. The four parts have been written independently, which makes it easier for the reader, if required, to restrict himself to whatever part he finds to be of particular interest. Likewise, an effort has been made to allow the reader to choose whether or not to examine the mathematical techniques presented. Those who wish can skip the formulas and mathematical passages and still retain an interesting and coherent text. This handbook will encourage rational analysis and contribute to successful decisions, both within transport firms and in policymaking.Bron : http://www.deboeck.be

Abstract

This book contains eleven chapters describing some of the most recent methodological operations research developments in transportation. It is structured around the main transportation modes, and each chapter is written by a group of well-recognized researchers. Because of the major impact of operations research methods in the field of air transportation over the past forty years, it is befitting to open the book with a chapter on airline operations management. This book will prove useful to researchers, students, and practitioners in transportation and will stimulate further resear

Abstract

This book covers the basic analytical methods used in transportation economics and policy analysis. Encompassing fields of economics such as Industrial Organisation, Welfare Economics, General Equilibrium Theory and Input-Output-Analysis, the study of transport from an economic point of view serves as a test bench for applying the methodological developments of economic science to the real world. Each chapter begins with a brief theoretical introduction before evaluating case studies, using the most up-to-date statistical and econometric techniques. Discussed topics include technical and allocative efficiency and productivity related to transportation economics, the impact of information and communication technologies on transportation networks, competition and the effects of deregulation, uses of time and the effects of public investment on the economy and social welfare. The book is addressed to scientists and post-graduate students, but will also be of interest to professionals in civil and transport engineering.

Abstract

Mobilités, fluidités… libertés ? Nous nous déplaçons plus, plus vile et plus loin. Ces tendances lourdes interrogent les sciences sociales à plus d'un titre : la croissance des déplacements est-elle le reflet d'une transformation de la spatialisation des sociétés ? Est-elle la manifestation d'une fluidification sociale réductrice des inégalités ou, au contraire, serait-elle le signe de l'émergence de nouvelles formes de différentiations sociales fondées sur le potentiel de mobilité des acteurs ? Le présent ouvrage propose de saisir ces questions en abordant diverses facettes de la mobilité, de ses effets territoriaux et sociétaux. Les douze contributions recueillies sont autant de regards croisés, qui suggèrent que l'accroissement des mobilités spatiales va de pair avec une réticularisation des relations sociales et le développement de nouvelles formes d'inégalités sociales. Valeur autant que pratique, la mobilité spatiale ne serait- elle pas devenue une ressource centrale dans la construction de la position sociale ? Cet ouvrage résulte des premiers travaux du groupe de travail « Mobilités Spatiales et Fluidités Sociales » (GT 23) de l'Association Internationale des Sociologues de Langue Française (A.I.S.L.F.). Il s'adresse à toute personne soucieuse de cerner les enjeux collectifs qui se cachent derrière les problématiques de gestion quotidienne des déplacements.

Abstract

Dit boek is een studie van de manier waarop Marokkaanse adolescenten op school dagelijks spelen met drie verschillende Nederlandstalige variëteiten: het Antwerps, gebrekkig Nederlands en het Algemeen Nederlands. In dit boek wordt zorgvuldig bestudeerd op welke manieren deze variëteiten worden ingeschakeld in een speelse praktijk die Marokkaanse jongens zelf belachelijk doen en tegenwerken noemen, en waarmee ze zowel saaie lessen opfleuren, als gespannen en onaangename situaties proberen te saboteren door hysterische verontwaardiging, volslagen incompetentie of extreme medewerking te simuleren.
