{"product_id":"transportation-economics-isbn-9780631221807","title":"Transportation Economics","description":"Unlike any other book available, this collection uses a detailed analysis of econometric results from current transportation literature to provide an integrated collection of theory and application. Case studies are used to illustrate the economic principles developed, while testable hypotheses and economic results are highlighted throughout the text to provide a well-developed introduction to the foundations of transportation economics.

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 excellent review of the ideas and topics presented. This is an excellent book for the upper-level undergraduate student and graduate student.\" \u003ci\u003ePeter D.
