The effects of decentralized capacity decisions for congested self-financed roads

This paper studies the differences between centralized and decentralized decisions for capacity and road user charges on a congested self-financed road with local, national and international traffic. Road user charges are allowed only to cover the costs for providing the road with a specific capacity, and to cover external costs caused by traffic. The road is either provided by the nation, or else this responsibility is decentralized to the community.
