Del. 1

 

Information requirements for monitoring implementation of marginal social cost pricing.
This Deliverable will present a full set of marginal cost estimates in order to monitor the implementation of marginal social cost pricing.

Del. 2

Information requirements for examining optimal complexity of transport pricing.
This Deliverable will include a number of issues ranging from a review of technological issues relevant for complex price structures), reviews on tariff structures of different degrees of complexity in ports, airports and rail transport up to new empirical work.

Del. 3

Marginal cost case studies for road and rail transport.
This Deliverable will pull together the results from the various case studies to produce a deliverable advising on the valuation of marginal social cost for road and rail.

Del. 4

Marginal cost case studies for air and water transport.
This Deliverable will pull together the results from the various case studies to produce a deliverable advising on the valuation of marginal social cost for ports, airports and inland waterways.

Del. 5

Monitoring pricing policy using accounts.
This Deliverable will improve and further develop the accounts methodology to enable the use of accounts as a monitoring instrument

Del. 6

Optimal complexity of transport pricing.
This Deliverable will seek to provide evidence on the optimal degree of complexity of the charges presented to users. 

Del. 7

Generalisation of marginal social cost estimates.
This Deliverable will aim at testing the transferability/generalisation methodology in the context of charge determination.

Del. 8

Software for above.
A dedicated software tool will estimate the order of magnitude of transport external costs in different contexts

Del. 9

The socio-economic impacts of transport pricing reforms.
This Deliverable will evaluate the socio-economic effects of different pricing and investment rules: partial equilibrium effects, general equilibrium effects, spatial effects (different regions, peripheral vs. central regions, sensitive vs. other areas), and equity effects

Del. 10

Policy conclusions on marginal social cost pricing.
This Deliverable will summarise research conclusions and formulate policy recommendations
