An important subset of the  approaches used involves economic analysis. Economic approaches often  consider pricing policies, attempting to evaluate their effectiveness  in comparison with more traditional measures such as `command and  control' regulation and directed technological innovation. Another  important subset of approaches involves simulation modelling, where  key relationships are presented mathematically so that their influence  can be quantified and their interrelationships discerned precisely.  This book treats the intersection of these two subsets: simulation  models with a strong economic content. This intersection defines a  broad but powerful way to study environment and transport. Its breadth  is illustrated by the wide range of policies treated here, from carbon  taxes to speed limits. Its power derives from the way insights into  interrelated actions and the role of markets - the strong  points of economic theory - are cast into a form suitable for  making quantitative predictions about the results of policies. \u003cbr\u003e  Case studies are used to show how simulation models can be designed  and used to quantify the effectiveness of economic policies in terms  of transport systems management and environmental protection, the  emphasis being on the role of the markets in tracing the many effects  that policies have, both anticipated and otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792349136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9109-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 234\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311700201612,"sku":"9780792349136","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792349136.jpg?v=1771510909","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792349136","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
