Abstract
The generally adopted worldwide target is to keep the increase in the global mean temperature lower than 2 °C by 2100, which is comparable with that of the preindustrial era. It is feasible for China to realize an emission pathway that is consistent with this target, however, we [...]Abstract
We have arrived at a critical juncture when it comes to understanding the numerous ways in which trade interacts with climate change and energy (trade-climate-energy nexus). Trade remains crucial for the sustainable development of the worlds greatest trading nation: China. After clarifying [...]Abstract
Abstract: Abstract We study duopolistic pricing by ports that are congestible, share the same overseas customers and have each a downstream, congestible transport network to a common hinterland. In the central set-up, local (country) governments care about local welfare only and decide [...]Abstract
International audience; Green mobility solutions are receiving currently an enormous attention. Indeed, during last years, electric vehicles, being part of the field of the smart-grid, entered the automobile market of the whole world. This technology requires an effective deployment [...]Abstract
This paper is looking to incorporate uncertainty and risk in the financial assessment of an urban logistics investment project - a ""rail-road" intermodal terminal performing urban logistic distribution functions. A "cost benefit analysis" (CBA) is performed for four decision scenarios [...]Abstract
[Abstract:] Maritime transport stands out as a strategic sector; the increasing trend in maritime traffic makes it essential to reduce energy consumption and emissions through investment in energy efficiency. However, investments can be hindered by barriers, and drivers are necessary [...]Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate, using both theoretical and numerical analysis, the impact of agglomeration externalities on short-run policy decisions in public transport, i.e. socially optimal pricing, frequency setting, and subsidisation. We develop a simple two-mode [...]Abstract
The aim of the study is to analyze how the country with the highest percentage of electric vehicles as is Norway has managed to become it and analyze the case of Japan and Spain with the charact of each country. The batteries are evolving and increasing their performance, but it is [...]Abstract
This paper explores the interrelations between pricing, capacity choice and financingin transportation networks. It builds on the famous Mohring-Harwitz result on self-financing ofoptimally designed roads under optimal congestion pricing, and specifically investigates itsins and outs [...]
