In this chapter we draw from existing literature and a range of statistics to describe economic, entrepreneurial and innovative activities in the transportation and warehousing sector of the U.S. economy. We suggest multiple avenues for future work, and argue for more research on the role of...

We investigate biofuel substitution in the U.S. transportation sector, for the period from 1990 to 2017, using the normalized quadratic model. We relax the homoskedasticity assumption and instead assume that the covariance matrix of the errors of the flexible demand system is time-varying. We...

One of the goals of developing a transport corridor is to promote socio-economic development by improving connectivity and sustainable transport operations, which largely depends on the operational strategy. Trade-off policies can be important tools for gaining the competitive advantage of road...

Zur Erreichung der Klimaschutzziele ist der Einsatz von Wasserstoff aus heutiger Sicht unumgänglich. Zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt aber spielt Wasserstoff für die Direktnutzung sowie zur Weiterverarbeitung im Energiesystem noch kaum eine Rolle. CO2-freier Wasserstoff, der auf Basis erneuerbarer...

Comprehensive global decarbonization will require that transportation services cease to rely on fossil fuels. Here we develop a generic life-cycle cost model to address two closely related questions central to the emergence of sustainable transportation: (i) the utilization rates (hours of...

In diesem Diskussionsbeitrag wird zunächst eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Definitionen für das Phänomen Sharing Economy aus der wissenschaftlichen Literatur analysiert. In diesem Schritt wurden die Technologische Umsetzung, Organisationsform der Plattform, der Umgang mit Verfügungsrechten, die...

We study the impact of different regulatory designs on the cost efficiency of operators providing a public service, exploiting data from the French transport industry. The distinctive feature of the study is that it considers regulatory regimes as endogenously determined choices, explained by...
