2. 1. Efficiency and acceptability of pricing policies and transport investments in distorted economies

   Author : Jonas Westin; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Jonas Eliasson; Joel Franklin; Kurt Van Dender; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road pricing; transport investment; cost-benefit analysis; tax distortions; transport policies; welfare effects; political economy; acceptability; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : This thesis contains five papers studying the economic efficiency and political acceptability of road pricing policies and transport investments in distorted economies. Interactions between the transport market and other distorted markets, such as the labor market, can have a large impact on the welfare effect of a road pricing policy or a transport investment.

4. 2. Welfare Effects of Transport Policies : an analysis of congestion pricing and infrastructure investments

   Author : Jonas Westin; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Lars Hultkrantz; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; congestion charge; cost-benefit analysis; tax distortions; transport investment; transport policies; welfare effects; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : Interactions between the transport market and other distorted markets, such as the labor market, can have a large impact on the overall welfare effect of a road pricing policy or a congestion charge. Many road pricing studies therefore try to incorporate effects from other distorted markets in the analysis. READ MORE

5. 3. Dynamic Modelling of Transit Operations and Passenger Decisions

   Author : Oded Cats; Haris Koutsopoulos; Tomer Toledo; Wilson Nigel; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public Transport; Transit Operations; Simulation Model; Traffic Simulation; Route Choice; Dynamic Model; Assignment Model; Control; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : Efficient and reliable public transport systems are fundamental in promoting green growth developments in metropolitan areas. A large range of Advanced Public Transport Systems (APTS) facilitates the design of real-time operations and demand management. READ MORE

6. 4. Production econometrics and transport demand modelling in Southern and Northern Sweden

   Author : Tom Petersen; Lars Lundqvist; Piet Rietveld; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Öresund link; productivity; accessibility; micro data; validation; exposure; Economic geography; Ekonomisk geografi; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three main parts. The first and most important part, in terms of effort and time spent, is devoted to the estimation of the importance of accessibility for production at the firm or plant level using three different econometric estimation approaches. READ MORE

7. 5. Theoretical Modeling of Intra- and Inter-molecular Charge Transport

   Author : Lili Lin; Yi Luo; Alessandro Troisi; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; charge transport; molecular junction; organic molecular materials; Green s function; first-principles simulation; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on theoretical study of charge transportproperties in molecular systems. The understanding of the transportprocess and mechanism in molecular systems is essential forthe design of new functional molecular materials and molecularelectronic devices. READ MORE
