Book excerpt: For students and policy makers interested in environmental and transportation economics, Verhoef (spatial econometrics, Free U. of Amsterdam) explores welfare economic evaluations of regulatory policies aimed directly or indirectly at containing market failures in road transportation. Taking account of efficiency, equity, and social feasibility, his discussions range from static analyses at the level of individual actors and firms, to the dynamic behavior of large spatio-economic systems. Most of the chapters draw heavily from articles previously published or forthcoming in professional journals. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
