Product Review
"Transportation Economics is an exceptionally well-done book which includes all the major points of interest in transportation economics and then some. McCarthy combines economic theory with econometric methods in a case-study approach and, in so doing, provides a comprehensive view of the entire field. The 'chapter highlights' are an great review of the ideas and topics presented. This is an great book for the upper-level undergraduate student and graduate student." Peter D. Loeb, Rutgers University.


"This is a rigorous text providing a comprehensive coverage for both the student and the specialist in transportation economics. It is strongly recommended." Dr. Saad Yousif, Salford University.

Reader Reviews
This is a great book for students, researchers, and professionals such as analysts and consultants!! If you are a student with Eco 101 background, this book can guide you through learning the theory and applying the theory to analyze issues in transportation decision-making. If you need to write a course paper for your class, you can simply read one of the Case Studies in the book, and then conduct your own research from there. It will save you a lot of time! If you are a researcher or in research business, you will find that the theory and cases in the book cover most of the important issues in transportation economics. The Case Study is more than a literature review, because it not only presents the conclusions as most literature reviews would do, it actually lists the models and equations and explains how the models are specified. It is really a great book to have handy. If Professor McCarthy decides to release a new edition sometime down the road, I would wish that he expand the investment chapters and add a new chapter on transportation financing.
