Transport Economics, 3rd Edition

Peter Nijkamp

Johannes Baptist Opschoor

This outstanding new collection surveys the relationship between the environment and development, and highlights some of the tensions that are implicit in the notion of sustainable development. Environmental Economics and Development is organized into six sections: general aspects; resource utilization and management; valuation and accounting of environmental change; environmental policy instruments; adjustment, trade and the environment; and distributional issues. These areas include general features of environment-development interfaces, operational valuation and accounting methods and economic approaches to environmental policy instruments in developing countries and in the international context.

Environmental Economics and Development

Henry Vega

The field of globalization and transport has witnessed a surge in interest over the past two decades with scholars questioning the reasoning behind its growth, its impact on the environment and trade as well as its effect on the development of cities and supply chain logistics. The editors have selected seminal works from leading academics to address these issues and outline the diverse and controversial nature of this subject. Along with an original introduction, this timely volume will be of immense value to researchers, students and practitioners in the field of globalization and transport.

Globalization and Transport

Kingsley E. Haynes

Roger Stough

Explores the organization of air transport in the European Union. The book analyzes the nature of the industries that supply air transport services and the institutional structure of air transport services. It also looks at impediments to increased efficiency in the provision of air transport.

Professor of Economics Dennis Swann

A description of the major changes in economic markets from the 1970s and the underlying forces leading to them, together with an analysis of the consequences of reform. The papers include national studies (USA, Canada, Australia and the UK) and sectoral studies (aviation, trucking, energy, etc).

The Age of Regulatory Reform

Topics in Millimeter Wave Technology, Volume 1 presents topics related to millimeter wave technology, including fin-lines and passive components realized in fin-lines, suspended striplines, suspended substrate microstrips, and modal power exchange in multimode fibers. A miniaturized monopulse assembly constructed in planar waveguide with multimode scalar horn feeds is also described. This volume is comprised of five chapters; the first of which deals with the analysis and synthesis techniques for fin-lines as well as the various passive components realized in fin-line. Tapers, discontinuities, directional couplers, filters, and non-reciprocal devices are considered, along with attenuators, switches, detectors, phase modulators, mixers, and oscillators. The second chapter focuses on millimeter-wave planar integrated circuit filters, with particular reference to lowpass filter design that forms the basis for the bandpass filter design. The third chapter describes H-plane millimeter-wave planar transmission lines and circuits, along with various passive and active components realized using suspended substrate microstrips. The fourth chapter examines modal power dynamics and transmission characteristics of multimode optical fibers. The relation between a ray theory and a wave theory is also explained, and a theory of mode coupling and the modal power exchange is discussed. The book concludes with a chapter on planar waveguide versions of the classic dual-plane, amplitude-monopulse comparator realized in conjunction with a unique multimode scalar feed horn. This book will be of interest to students and practitioners of electronics and electrical engineering.

Topics in Millimeter Wave Technology

Piet Rietveld

In this collection attention is paid to: transport demand, supply of public transport services and external costs of transport (environmental problems, congestion). Also policy aspects such as urban transport policy and deregulation are covered. In addition a number of specific topics such as parking, non-motorized transport modes and urban transport in developing countries are included.

Urban Transport

Yoshitsugu Hayashi

This reference offers information to practitioners and students in the field of environmental studies, by showing key articles on the subject over the years 1979 to 1999. Topics covered include pollution, the effects of traffic on the environment, and regional and national control development.
