Direct and cross cost elasticity estimations for freight transport in Europe using constructed dependent variables

Bart Jourquin

Research in Transportation Economics, 2025, vol. 111, issue C

Abstract: Elasticities can be used in the context of transport policy decisions to estimate the impact of changes in transport costs, or the impact of new infrastructure on traffic or modal split, for example. Their estimation is often made difficult by the lack of available data, especially when the study area represents a large international territory.
