Round Tables on Transport Economics
Round Tables bring thirty or so experts together to discuss economic issues in depth in a personal capacity,
free of political pressure. Under the direction of a chair, chosen for his knowledge and authority on
the subject, a small number of introductory papers are presented and an open debate engaged between the experts
invited to the event. The discussions aim to shed light on areas where there are differences of opinion
between the experts present and in the economic literature, as well as bringing results of recent research to
the table. The Ultimate objective is to draw conclusions relevant to policy making in government.
A summary of the debate together with the introductory papers will be published in the Round Table Series
of the Joint Transport Research Centre.
