Möglichkeiten der Internalisierung externer Staukosten

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich VWL - Verkehrsökonomie Note: 14 Technische Universität Dresden (Professur für Verkehrsökonometrie und -statistik) Veranstaltung: Transport Economics - Congestion Costs Sprache: Deutsch Abstract: The congestion costs in Germany are dramatically high due to increasing traffic volume and congestion lengths. These costs are mainly induced to market failure especially externalities: Car drivers don't take the mutual impediment in consideration. In conclusion every car driver causes the congestion while also suffering from it simultaneously. This phenomenon makes it difficult to find the right solutions in order to internalize the external costs. However by following the Pigovian Tax strategy (congestion pricing) and by using additional advanced technologies the congestion costs can be reduced or even avoided effectively.
