Le but de cette Table Ronde est d'évaluer les effets économiques des grands projets d'infrastructures de transport. On parle de grands projets pour désigner les bonds qualitatifs, qu'il s'agisse de négocier le tracé d'anneaux autoroutiers ou ferroviaires venant recouper la dispersion des...

For a large class of additive random utility discrete choice models with income effects, we compute the probability distribution of the compensating variation. We show that the cumulative distribution function only depends on the choice probabilities. Our results are used to compute the...
