Introduction: Modelling Environment and Transport

  • Chapter
Environment and Transport in Economic Modelling

Abstract

Recent years have seen an outpouring of literature on the relationships between transport and environmental policy. Besides a healthy number of contributions through the normal channels of journals, reports and monographs, entire new journals have been created and several edited collections of articles have appeared. This is no wonder, given the perceived importance of environmental problems in modern developed economies and the role the transport sector plays. In Europe, the trend is further strengthened by the importance of harmonizing both environmental and transport policies as part of unification, and the difficulties created by the mixture of national and international impacts of transport activities.
