abstract = {La concurrence est au coeur de la feuille de route de l’Union européenne (UE) dans le champ des transports. C’est aujourd’hui une réalité qui a profondément transformé le transport aérien à la suite de la libéralisation progressive mise en place entre 1987 et 1997. Les compagnies low cost détenaient plus de 30 % du marché européen avant l’épidémie de Covid, un chiffre en augmentation ensuite. Dans les transports terrestres de passagers, la libéralisation du transport routier est intervenue dès les années 1990 en Grande-Bretagne ou en Suède, mais tardivement dans des pays comme l’Allemagne (2013) ou la France (2015). Pour le ferroviaire, l’ouverture à la concurrence s’est faite dès les années 1990 (Suède, Grande-Bretagne, Allemagne…) mais principalement sous la forme d’appels d’offre, de concurrence « pour le marché ». Les cas de concurrence « sur le marché », deux opérateurs ou plus se trouvant sur une même relation, sont restés des exceptions peu probantes. Or le paysage est en train de changer. Comme nous allons le voir dans un premier temps, plusieurs pays européens ont expérimenté l’open access ferroviaire pour les passagers et de nouvelles entrées sur le marché sont attendues dans les années qui viennent. Il est donc possible de dresser un bilan en observant les impacts pour les passagers (prix, fréquence, confort…) mais aussi pour les opérateurs et les gestionnaires de réseau. Les tendances perçues étant conformes à ce qu’enseigne l’économie de la concurrence, il est envisageable d’en déduire ce qui va se passer en France où la compétition vient de s’engager entre la SNCF et Trenitalia, en attendant l’arrivée de la Renfe, et d’autres…},

abstract = {Background: Clinical trials are increasingly perceived as a therapeutic opportunity for cancer patients. Favoring their concentration in few high-expertise academic centers maximizes quality of data collection but poses an issue of access equality. Analytical tools to quantify trial accessibility are needed to rationalize resources. Materials and methods: We constructed a distance-based accessibility index (dAI) using publicly available data on demographics, cancer incidence and trials. Multiple strategies were applied to mitigate or quantify clear sources of bias: reporting biases by text mining multiple registries; reliability of simple geographical distance by comparison with high-quality travel cost data for Italy; index inflation due to highly heterogeneous cancer incidence by log-transformation. We studied inequalities by Gini index and time trend significance by Mann–Kendall test. We simulated different resource allocation models in representative countries and identified locations where new studies would maximally improve the national index. Results: The dAI approximated well a more realistic but not widely applicable travel cost-based index. Accessibility was unevenly distributed across and within countries (Gini index ∼0.75), with maximal inequalities in high- and upper-middle-income countries (China, United States, Russian Federation). Over time, accessibility increased but less than the total number of trials, most evidently in upper-middle-income countries. Simulations in representative countries (Italy and Serbia) identified ideal locations able to maximally raise the national index. Conclusions: Access to clinical trials is highly uneven across and within countries and is not mitigated by simple increase in the number of trials; a rational algorithmic approach can be used to mitigate inequalities.},

abstract = {During crisis, social network data is valuable information for authorities and researchers. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, a significant amount of data, including mobility-related data, has been released from various agencies to support studies. This paper aims to check the suitability of mobility-related datasets in describing and predicting new cases, about the spatial dimension during the initial phase of the outbreak. We focus on rich anonymized datasets through Facebook – Data for Good program: colocation matrices, movement matrices and stay-at-home data. However, we also compare their usability with a traditional Origin-Destination matrix. Our test case is Italy, the second country hit after China, where the infection spread irregularly from a few northern provinces to rest of Italy and abroad. Our regression models explain the number of actual new cases at the provincial level (corresponding to NUTS-3) by three groups of variables: active cases proxying local infections, interprovincial mobility proxying the arrival of cases from outside, and the degree of people staying at home proxying infections from cohabitants. The variants among the models consist of different measures of interprovincial mobility, thus allowing us to confront them. The result is the inclusion of time-dependent mobility data improving the significance of model and is effective in explaining irregular rise of cases in different parts of the country. Moreover, colocation results as the best measure. From a policy perspective, results show that mobility restrictions help reduce the geographical spread of infection at the very beginning, but once the outbreak, the interprovincial mobility becomes less relevant.},

abstract = {The effect of competition on prices in the passenger transport sector can be difficult to estimate because of many influencing factors such as state regulation, demand, seasonality, and reactions of indirect competitors. A case of great interest in the rail sector is Italy, where on-track competition in the high-speed segment has been in place for nearly ten years. The paper aims at answering the question whether—and how much—incumbent’s prices are affected when competition starts on a route previously in monopoly. The case is the start of operations on the Turin–Milan–Venice route, where Italo entered in May 2018. Adopting a difference-in-difference approach, we check if Trenitalia changed the price strategy on the route before and after the entry, with respect to two control groups. The addition of placebo tests allows us to understand the ranges of significance of the results and to estimate the noise level of the estimates. Our findings suggest that the start of competition led to lower prices in the short-medium period. In the specific case, the Milano–Venezia route saw Trenitalia’s prices reduced by 21–26% (±2–5%) in a time span of 84–140 days after Italo’s entry and for advanced bookings from 2 to 10 days. Last-day prices remain unchanged, while early bookings are reduced by just 9%. This price reduction does not remain stable in the longer term, when other effects add up and blur the effect of the entry. Nevertheless, we keep observing a smaller, ∼15%, but still negative prices change.},

abstract = {Analogous to Germany and France, Italian coach market radically changed after liberalisation (2014). Liberalisation led to new routes, increased frequencies, mergers, and withdrawals. The paper analyses market trends from four years of real ticket prices collected through collaboration with www.checkmybus.it. The dataset, consisting of monthly average prices and the number of clicks by company and by city-pair, is enriched with spatial information, including the separation of airport routes. Results show that sub-national markets had different trends, with the growth of offer on routes linked to network expansion of the early liberalisation slowing down. Contrarily, the historical routes to the Centre and South remain stable. Interestingly, larger (Top-5) companies' prices are below market average up to 5–10% less. Smaller companies operate often on niche routes, with fewer economies of scale and thus maintain higher prices. This trend switched during the COVID pandemic. A further comparison with rail prices showed that coaches were able to reduce the price gap at least with conventional trains, from −50% (average for 2017–2020) to −20% for the second semester of 2020. This is a sign of the ability of the coach sector to adapt to the shock, by reducing capacity and concentrating on more competitive routes.},

abstract = {University commuting has a strong impact on traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas. In Italy, this phenomenon is even more prominent since most universities are located in urban areas without adequate housing services in the surroundings. Therefore, it could be important for universities to implement policies that help commuters switch from private vehicles to public modes.
This paper focuses on Milan Politecnico (today about 54 thousand people between students and staff) and outlines the characteristics of the car users’ profiles that are less willing to switch from car to a sustainable mode.
The study involves a sample of 2 646 car users of the two main campuses, out of a much larger population using other modes. The paper builds a Multinomial logit, in which three different commuter specifications are defined: “car lovers”, people using car without taking into account other options, “car captives”, people obliged to use car, and “switchers”, car commuters willing to switch. The first two specifications are defined as “irreducibles”: people who declare they do not want or cannot switch. The model uses individual spatial location, socioeconomics and social behaviour factors as independent variables. Since location could play a role in changing propensity, the paper also includes a spatial analysis to check for possible missing spatial variables.
We identify the main causes of rigidity in commuting switch behaviour and, according to the results, we provide policymakers and universities with consistent strategies to promote public transport use. The policies must be differentiated to address the two groups of irreducibles: car lovers typically do not respond to improvements or subsidies to public transport and must therefore be addressed with pricing and parking limitations. Car captives, instead, are such due to their location: not so far but sprawled. From the university point of view, provision of residences near the campuses or targeted subsidies and multimodal solutions for frequent travellers and those living in cities may increase the sustainability of commuting.},

abstract = {The non-medical policies implemented to “flatten the curve” and to reduce the stress on the health system during the COVID-19 outbreak represents a critical event in the history of Italy. This kind of “lockdown” has left people stranded in their homes and, for some, out of their homes unable to return to their region of residence due to the disruptions in the mobility network. As a consequence, a vast scale of research is being performed to understand the patterns of mobility of people during the emergency. The availability of rich datasets has made it possible to quantify the dynamics of spatial distribution of people as a response to the strict measures. With the help of the data provided by the Facebook – Data for Good program, an effort is made to describe and to reason on the presence and of mobility patterns of the population at a regional and provincial scale during the lockdown. Our interpretation is that, initially, tourists left the country and later Italians abroad managed to return from abroad stabilising the population. Concerning internal mobility, it is evident that the earliest affected Regions see a higher number of stationary users in the initial days of the outbreak. On the other hand, the central and the southern regions does not display a positive relative change of staying home until the official lockdown is announced on the 9th of March, 2020. Before the stricter lockdown started there was not a significant exodus of people from the North to the rest of the country. To the contrary, a visible relocation of people occurred between the cities and their urban belts.},

Per rispondere alla domanda si partirà dalle fasi iniziali dell’epidemia, che si è originata in territori non fragili ma certo nemmeno centrali, per poi diffondersi rapidamente e profondamente alle metropoli ed al resto del territorio. Successivamente si ragionerà sulle direzioni dell’”esodo” di persone durante le diverse fasi del lockdown, attraverso l’elaborazione dei dati di presenza forniti dal programma Facebook Data for Good. Infine, si ragionerà in termini generali sul futuro dei luoghi marginali, apparentemente più fragili delle metropoli agli shock, ma che potenzialmente potrebbero trarne vantaggio relativo in futuro.},

abstract = {The literature on open-access rail competition has been quite unanimous in pointing out the positive effects of the entry of the (few) newcomers in their respective markets. Generally speaking, quality has increased and frequency too. The effect on prices has also generally been what everybody expected: the newcomer is pricing less than the incumbent and overall the prices on the liberalised market are lower than the counterfactual ones. Without denying all the positive effects that rail competition in Italy has brought since 2012, thanks to the large-scale direct competition of NTV/Italo vs. the incumbent Trenitalia, in this paper we will provide the first evidence of something new, happened in the last 12 months. Since 2018, in fact, while frequencies and passengers continue to grow, for the first time also the average prices started increasing, even in those routes just opened to competition. The scope of this work is limited to analyse everyday train prices in a period of three years on numerous Italian routes, showing how prices changed over time and in particular according to the presence of competition and route characteristics. Findings are interesting: prices do not fall in all routes where competition starts, or at least just for a short period. In general, 2019 saw a consistent realignment of prices to a higher level than 2017-2018, for both competitors. One obvious explanation could be that the competitors are just apparently competing, or that production costs have raised (or both). This would be by far the worst outcome of a liberalisation process: costs up and cartel prices up with the costs. But the same phenomenon could be explained differently if there is no overcapacity: competition is working on parameters different than average prices (quality, frequency, product differentiation, price discrimination). We are still not able to demonstrate the existence of a cartel, so this work is just intended to show what has happened, and not why.},

abstract = {Historically, for geographically disadvantaged areas or those with a low level of infrastructure, air transport services are often considered to be lifeline services. In the last decades, investments in the airport sector have been promoted as a way to increase accessibility to many Italian regions. On the other side, transport services have also witnessed important changes as the entrance of low cost carriers, the development of high speed railway services or the liberalization of the long distance coach transport sector. These services, together with an improved intermodality, could provide an alternative to access areas of the country.
The paper, adopting a policymaker perspective, studies the different transport alternatives available to connect the zones in the catchment area of an airport without scheduled services, computing the minimum generalized cost (GC). Two scenarios are also analyzed in terms of possible strategies to improve accessibility levels reducing the GC. The first one assumes two daily public service obligations from the local airports to two main airports while the second scenario studies the effect of an improvement of the bus connections to the closest airport with scheduled services from the zones in the catchment area of the local airport. Simulations are based on a multimodal national transport model describing the entire Italian long distance supply for the period 2013/2014. It allows the calculation of the GC by road, rail, coach and air services. The GC provides a clear and comparable measure to understand the role of different transport modes in providing domestic connections. Results show how the more an area is remote the more a PSO could be effective while whereas ground alternatives are present the effect of air PSO is reduced. Moreover, improving ground accessibility to the main airports has a wider impact in terms of decrease of the minimum GC and in the number of zones experiencing a reduction. This paper aims to contribute to the literature on the accessibility from areas with a low level of infrastructure. It also represents a support for policy makers when promoting, drafting or reconsidering their own regional air transport programs and as well for airport manager when considering alternatives to improve airport ground accessibility.},

abstract = {Rail liberalisation is far from homogeneous across Europe. Italy, thanks to a process started well before the European deadlines, is now one of the most interesting continental markets, at least limited to long-distance segment. The paper aims at understanding the pricing strategies of the two domestic Italian rail companies, with a focus on price discrimination using traditional methods and yield management. We are also investigating if price levels depend on the type of route and in particular on the presence or absence of intra-modal competition. Methodologically, the paper computes the price-per-km and the price dispersion for about thirty OD pairs in Italy for nearly two years, using observed prices. Routes cover the entire mainland of the country and represent different situations in terms of high-speed/conventional infrastructure and competition. We find that incumbent's prices are higher than the competitors. However, the incumbent is not applying higher prices on non-competing routes. This fact tells us that competition is not the only element ruling the prices, but also demand, capacity, users' willingness to pay, and obviously distance. These considerations are also useful to understand the network-strategy followed until now by the newcomer and what could happen in the future.},

abstract = {Milan is one of the few cities in Europe where a congestion charge is in place. It was experimentally introduced at the beginning of 2008 as a pollution charge to enter the central area of Milan. During 2011, to confirm it and also to extend its scope, a city-wide referendum took place. Referendum results largely supported the extension.
While we know well the economic rationale and the potential effects of such policies, the issue of acceptability is still quite unexplored and usually studied with limited interview campaigns, focus groups or theoretical assumptions. This referendum is an interesting occasion to study the real motivations of the acceptability of road pricing experiences in a consolidated context.
This paper studies the determinants of the highly positive vote in favour of the extension of the former pollution charge into a congestion charge scheme. The scale of analysis is the aggregate result of the referendum at the neighbourhood level. The variables studied are the ideological orientation, some socio-economic variables, and the distance from the city centre. In contrast to the majority of existing literature, we also include in the analysis the effect of transport supply and previous mobility patterns, in order to verify if they were crucial to the voters’ acceptance of a road charge.},

abstract = {Transportation has significant and long lasting economic, social and environmental impacts, making it one of the main challenges to be addressed by policy makers, public managers and scholars worldwide. For Universities, students and staff transportation represents one of the largest impacts on the environment and society, since in many cases it represent a noticeable share of urban traffic. A wide literature is available on the policies that support reducing car usage and improve the environmental and social sustainability of commuting to University. This paper presents the situation in the Politecnico di Milano, recorded through mobility surveys carried out in 2015 and 2017 to investigate the key issues and design possible solutions. The aim of this study is to share the set of actions and activities planned to improve the current mobility patterns of the Politecnico di Milano in favour of more sustainable means of transport. The main strategies will be the redesign of the campuses and the new infrastructure to be installed, together with the promotion of sustainable behaviours among the whole University population thanks to various activities in the framework of the 'Città Studi Campus Sostenibile' initiative. A special mention will be given to the 'Vivi.Polimi' project, which aims to improve the liveability of the Politecnico spaces, and which will give sustainable mobility a new impulse. Indeed, the planned measures include the reduction of the parking spaces inside the historical main campus while providing new infrastructure targeted at the promotion of alternative means of transport, like increasing the number of bike shelters to encourage active mobility or installing new charging stations for electric cars.},

One of the topics of this project relates with transport and sustainable mobility.
In this framework, during the last three years, the Sustainable Office of the University, in collaboration with the university mobility manager, carried out two surveys on mobility and commuting, among students, professors and administrative staff. In 2015 were surveyed about 12.000 people and about 14.000 in 2017, respectively 27% and 24% of the total population of each year.
Through the analysis of the data of the last survey, we firstly provide a description of the current mobility patterns of the university population, then we calculate CO2 emissions from mobility activities to access Politecnico campuses. In order to estimate CO2 emissions of every trip, we utilize local emission factors for each transport mode. Previous studies evidenced how this component accounts for more than 40% of the total emissions of Politecnico di Milano.
Lastly, in order to identify in which context policy packages, aimed at increasing the modal share of sustainable transport modes, are more effective and efficient in reducing CO2 emission, we analyse a set of scenarios involving both different territorial contexts inside Lombardy region and different campuses population.},

abstract = {A recent wave of liberalisation in the coach sector has reached some of the largest European countries. Liberalisation has shown deep consequences not only on the coach market structure, historically rather static and with limited market share, but also in the general market of long-distance passenger transport. In this context Italy is an interesting case, presenting some peculiarities with respect to comparable countries such as France and Germany. Italian market in fact had a relevant dimension even before liberalisation, but was concentrated on marginal origin-destination relationships. The liberalisation has pushed coach companies, mostly newcomers, to look at the richer intercity markets, especially in Northern Italy. Thanks to a 1-year long database of prices for most of Italian domestic routes, the paper studies the price determinants, including the strategy of main companies and the effect of intermodal competition. Results show that newcomers' strategy is relatively more aggressive than incumbents' one, but also that some of the largest historical operators also effectively reduce average route prices with promotions and yield management. Also intermodal competition matters. Routes overlapping with rail PSO are priced less, but interestingly this happens also for high-speed routes. This shows that the two markets are not independent.},

abstract = {Mismatches between forecasted and actual costs and traffic figures are common in transport investments, especially in large scale ones, and so are delusions of the future demand. High-speed rail projects are often among the worst practices for cost overruns and demand overestimation, even where traffic figures may tell a history of apparent success.
In the paper, we analyse two significant cases of delusions of success, namely the Italian and Spanish HSR programmes. The Italian one shows excellent demand performances, but is among the continent's worst cases for construction costs. The Spanish one, recognised worldwide as one of the most successful outcomes of HS policy, is the one where potential demand estimations were systematically neglected, and the planned network appears largely out-of-scale compared to actual traffic. In both cases, the forecasts were not simply biased, as well-known literature on megaproject failures has clearly shown: Italian lines were deliberately designed to increase the cost, and the Spanish network was deliberately planned out-of-scale. By means of the two cases, the paper will show that the core of the problem does not lie in the wrong estimations, but in deliberate choices of overinvestment, overdesign and overquality.},

abstract = {Decisions on transport plans and projects involve relevant public investments and may also determine radical changes in users’ costs. Unfortunately, it is not rare that—especially at the strategic planning stage—decisions on alternative projects or scenarios are made on a qualitative basis or, at best, by setting some indicators and verifying how much they reach the politically decided targets (e.g., “increasing the use of bicycles by 10%”). In order to reduce subjectivity, a more quantitative and comprehensive approach to the evaluation is needed. A Cost-Benefit Analysis is a tool commonly used to assess public expenditure, but its application to mobility plans introduces further practical and theoretical complexities. In this paper, we will thus try to contribute to the topic of the assessment of both sustainable mobility transport plans and infrastructure projects by presenting the operative application of a CBA methodology that is, at the same time, theoretically coherent and rich in outputs to support the decision-maker. Moreover, we will discuss the possible use of GIS software in order to provide to the decision-makers a clear and immediate “picture” of the effects on the network linked to different scenarios. The structure is as follows. Firstly, we discuss the complexities involved in the evaluation of plans with respect to a single infrastructure. Secondly, we introduce the available approaches for the assessment of consumer surplus, namely, the Rule of Half and the logsum function method, which allow the perfect integration between CBA and transport models. Thirdly, we present, through some operative case studies, the methodologies applied to the assessment and the network effects visualization of the urban mobility plan and new infrastructures. Finally, we underline how we can make the results more understandable to politicians, policy-makers, stakeholders, and citizens and in general improve the transparency and the awareness of the choices.},

abstract = {The city of Milan had introduced a form of cordon pricing to enter the city centre already in 2008. Originally, it was conceived as a pollution charge, aimed at reducing the polluting vehicles going into the most delicate area of the city, and only secondarily affecting the traffic volumes. That policy, whose effects declined over the years due to the fleet turnover, was substituted in 2012 with a genuine congestion charge, called `Area C'. The substitution came after a city referendum in June 2011. The chapter discusses the history of the policy and summarises the main outcomes, 5 years after implementation, in terms of traffic reduction, emissions and impact on user groups. A section is devoted to the description of the technology used and of the architecture of the system, entailing real time data exchange with the vehicle registry, the urban police and a number of payment systems. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the motivations behind the (unexpected) public and political acceptability of the policy and proposes some hints to transfer its experience to other cases.},

abstract = {In the last decades, low-cost carriers (LCCs) have generated several changes in the air market for both passengers and airports. Mainly for regional airports, LCCs have represented an important opportunity to improve their connectivity levels and passenger traffic. Furthermore, many regional airports have become key factors to regenerate the local economy by improving accessibility and stimulating several markets, such as tourism. However, the relationship between LCCs and airports is rather complex and the outcomes not always predictable. In order to analyze and understand better such relationship and its outcomes, this chapter discusses the main underlying factors identified in: relation with the regional air market (secondary/primary airports), balance of power (dominated/non-dominated airports), and industrial organization (bases/non-bases). Starting from the proposed Relative Closeness Index, which combines yearly airport passengers and distance between airport pairs, a large sample of European airports is analyzed. Then, a smaller sub-sample – which includes selected, significant case studies referring to mid-sized airports – is discussed in detail. Among the main findings, airports sharing their catchment area with others are in a very risky position, due to the potential mobility of LCCs, while geographically isolated airports in good catchment areas can better counterbalance the power of carriers.},

abstract = {Intercity (or long-distance) coach transport has long remained a marginal mode in Western and Southern Europe. It connected mainly residual origin-destination relationships, to marginal areas without rail transport or, at best, as an ancillary mode to extend the range of rail accessibility.
However, the recent experiences of German and Italian liberalisations can represent a turning point in the redefinition of the role of this industry. In particular, Germany showed that a competitive environment could foster the sector and make it a true alternative for car and rail, especially in the low cost demand segment. In Italy, instead, the liberalisation effects are appearing more slowly, also due to the fragmentation of the sector and to the relative maturity of the historical market, but more and more pervasively.
While it is clear that a favourable legislative context and the limitedness level of entry barriers are necessary conditions for liberalisation, other elements appear to have a profound influence to explain the important differences between the two cases of Italy and Germany. The paper aims at discussing the role of two further aspects: i) the characteristics, and in particular the dimension and concentration, of the before-liberalisation market, and ii) the geography of the countries. When considering these elements, it becomes clearer why the processes ran at very different speeds north and south of the Alps and why the two markets still appear different.},

The paper aims to address whether and where there is an accessibility problem between Italian regions, through a comprehensive measure of accessibility covering the entire Italian territory. The measure used in the paper is potential accessibility, with an exponential decay impedance function. Different from similar studies, this one gives a more in-depth definition of impedance parameters due to the availability of a transport model that includes the entire Italian long-distance supply (roads, coaches, long-distance rail services, air services, and ferries). The opportunities at destination are proxied by population, and private and public sector employees.
The main outputs are detailed maps of accessibility that are significantly more realistic than using simple infrastructure indicators or single-mode measures. In addition, some policy conclusions are drawn in terms of past and future investment policies.},

abstract = {The core of Italian HS rail plan is the Turin – Salerno line, in operation since 2009. The central segment Milan – Rome has been working well since the opening, with good demand figures quite in line with the later forecasts. The extremes of the line, namely the extensions to Turin and to Naples/Salerno has remained for long far less used. In 2012, unique case in Europe, a newcomer entered in the market and pushed a radical change in Trenitalia marketing, quality and pricing. This positive fact has fostered the market, with supply and demand dramatically increased, reduced fares and distributed benefits to the users, also in terms of new mobility practices.
The paper aims at revising a former Cost Benefit Analysis exercise, produced just two years after line opening, in the light of the changed conditions. In particular, applying a similar methodology and estimating on the basis of third-party sources the current Origin-Destination demand matrix, we will recalculate the economic feasibility indicators.
The cost-benefit analysis gives a marginally positive result in the most-likely case. To the contrary, extrapolating pre-competition trends without competition, gives a very negative result. In fact, we show that travel time benefits are a fraction of the cost. The largest benefits comes from the new demand, which in turn comes from increased frequency, from the introduction of mixed traditional/high-speed services and from the fall in prices due to the entrance of NTV.},

The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the effect of competition on price strategies.

We statistically analysed the sample i) to estimate the price reactions of the incumbent after the new entry, and ii) to compare the price strategies of the two operators.
Results show that the incumbent reduced economy class prices by about 15%. The newcomer is slightly cheaper for bookings well in advance of the departure date, but raises prices in the very last days before departure. Their fare strategy also changed after three months of operations, when they applied lower prices. Finally, we see that Trenitalia does not respond to NTV's prices, whereas the opposite is true, demonstrating that the newcomer is the price-taker in the short-run.},

abstract = {Le pratiche di mobilità innovativa (carsharing, carpooling, mobilità elettrica, etc.) mostrano una sempre maggiore penetrazione nel mercato italiano. Sebbene ancora marginali in termini di mobilità complessiva, esse rappresentano nicchie sempre più importanti in alcuni contesti, oltre che un’interessante fonte di informazioni sulle pratiche di mobilità. In questo articolo viene presentato e studiato un primo campione di dati raccolto dalla più conosciuta piattaforma web per il carpooling (BlaBlaCar). Il duplice fine che ci si propone è quello di poter, da un lato, comprendere meglio quali siano le dinamiche e la diffusione del servizio a scala nazionale e, dall’altro, di ottenere alcune informazioni sul segmento della mobilità meno noto alle statistiche, cioè la mobilità occasionale di lunga percorrenza. I primi risultati ottenuti mostrano come gli utilizzatori del servizio rappresentino ancora una quota marginale degli spostamenti che interessano la nostra penisola, ma diano utili indicazioni sulle attuali pratiche di mobilità. I viaggi offerti, ad esempio, si svolgono su distanze medie nell’ordine dei 300 km e sono maggiori a nord rispetto al resto della penisola. Inoltre, presentano diversi pattern di distribuzione settimanale a seconda del luogo di origine, così come una diversa diffusione geografica. Le grandi città, Milano in primo luogo, generano viaggi su aree molto ampie, mentre i capoluoghi di provincia presentano catchment area molto più limitate e polarizzate.},

abstract = {In early 2008, a pollution charge was introduced in the central Area of Milan. Although initially it positively affected traffic volume, after some years its effect wore off due to the replacement of older vehicles with newer and exempt vehicles. As effectiveness decreased, in June 2011 the Milan citizens voted in a referendum on whether to extend the charge to all vehicles. The result was clearly in favor of the redesign and extension of the toll. In January 2012 the new policy was put in force under the name of “Area C.” The new pricing uses the same technological infrastructure and encompasses the same Area but evolves into congestion pricing aimed at reducing traffic in the compact and crowded central city. The present article discusses the history of the Milan road-pricing case and presents some quantitative analyses of the overall effectiveness of the measure, based on official data. In addition, we calculate, using cordon data, the distribution of entrances per vehicle category and the related yearly cost paid by users. The analyses show the measure's effectiveness, in line with expectations, and calculate the economic impact of the pricing on different user groups. Such impact appears quite limited, as the vast majority of users cross the cordon occasionally, and the most affected user groups (e.g., residents) are granted with more favorable conditions.

abstract = {Air traffic flows show large seasonal variability, but arrivals and departures may also be significantly influenced by specific events which generate peaks, which generate peaks rising above baseline traffic. While seasonal variations of air flows are well studied in literature, the daily variations and their causes are seldom analysed and quantified. The paper aims at filling this gap by exploring and quantifying the effect of holidays and events (conferences, trade fairs, sport events) in terms of passenger daily fluctuations.
We identified the elements affecting these variations and searched for correlations with daily demand fluctuations using an OLS econometric model applied to Milan Malpensa airport. The model allows one to reproduce the observed daily traffic, identifying the baseline component of traffic (depending on the calendar) and the additional effect ascribable to holidays and occasional events.
Results show which types of events generate a visible traffic increase. The effect of some of them can be very significant indeed. The largest international design and fashion shows taking place in Milan generate up to more than 20% extra passenger traffic compared to the normal baseline traffic. In addition, the analysis showed that their effect is not limited to the event days, but impacted on the surrounding days as well. Holidays also influence the patterns of demand, creating additional traffic on certain days and more pronounced peaks, which also differ according to seasons.},

Unlike other countries, the national scale of supply and demand for the Italian transport systems as a whole is barely known and in the case of long-distance mobility, there is not a unique quantitative and geographical description available. In this paper, we present a map regarding the Italian long-distance transport supply and generalised cost simulations, for the period 2013–2014. The information shown in the map comes from a multimodal transport model, which presents the peculiarity of using real public service timetables to simulate the entirety of the Italian long distance transport industry. This tool enables one to map the entire transport supply and to estimate the generalised costs among any route: this also allows one to identify which transport mode is better suited to make a specific trip.},

Ma è davvero tanto indispensabile l'intervento dello Stato? E, se sì, è bene che avvenga con i margini di discrezionalità correnti? Questo libro mostra come la necessità dell’intervento dello Stato non sia affatto ovvia e debba essere invece sempre provata. Se si ricorre al settore pubblico, peraltro, è necessario che la sua azione sia vincolata da regole, e non caratterizzata dalla piena discrezionalità. Se l’azione pubblica è del tutto imprevedibile, anche investitori e cittadini agiranno in condizioni di costante incertezza e faranno a loro volta scelte sbagliate.},

abstract = {Historically, for geographically disadvantaged areas, air transport services have represented the main alternative to guarantee residents' mobility needs. In the last decades, many investments in local airports have been promoted as a way to increase accessibility in many Italian regions. On the other side, transport services have also witnessed important changes as the entrance of low cost carriers, the development of high speed services or the increasing role of long distance passenger coach transport. These services together with an improved intermodality could provide an alternative to access areas of the country. The paper, adopting a policymaker perspective, studies the different passenger transport alternatives for a sample of zones in the catchment area of a local airport. It is based on a long distance multimodal transport model describing the entire Italian long distance supply thus it allows to estimate the generalized cost to access all the zones of the country by road, rail, coach and air services. The analysis of the generalized costs for the period 2013/2014 helps to better understand the role of air transport with respect to the other available modes for each zone. It could also represent the first step to reconsider the possible strategies to improve national accessibility levels.},

abstract = {Long-distance accessibility is seen as a crucial element for economic development and for territorial cohesion. However, an accurate and realistic measure of accessibility needs to consider not only the distance or travel time, but also other parameters, primarily the effectiveness of the modes available, the fare levels and the presence of competition.
The paper aims at answering at the question whether and where there is a problem of accessibility to Italian regions, thanks to a comprehensive measure of accessibility of the entire Italian territory. The measure used in the paper is potential accessibility, with exponential decay impedance function. Differently from similar studies, we go more in detail in the definition of impedance parameters, thanks to the availability of a multimodal transport model, including the entire Italian long distance supply (roads, coaches, long distance rail services, air services, ferries). The opportunities at destination are proxied by population, private and public sector employees.
The main paper outputs are detailed maps of accessibility, much more realistic than using simple infrastructure indicators. In this way we recognise the areas with good accessibility levels with respect to the rest of the country, and areas more remote. Modal maps clarify also the different roles of the modes and suggest the effect of recent projects, such as the high-speed line Turin - Naples.
Finally we draw some policy conclusions. Firstly, the presence of an infrastructure is not, per se, guarantee of higher accessibility. Secondly, rail accessibility plays a role especially for middle distances in the North where city pattern is more reticular and compact, or along high performance corridors. Thirdly, that the geography of inaccessibility is more complex than the expected one, which sees the North more accessible than the South: some northern regions are equally far from the rest of Italian population and some southern regions are well accessible.},

In order to face this situation, various structural reforms have been introduced which have increased the level of private sector involvement, strengthening the need of sound economic regulation. Starting from a desk survey, the paper reviews the resulting railways models for 20 countries. The main characteristics of each regulatory system have been collected and analyzed in order to provide an ex-ante overview of the current practices, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Results show how public subjects still play a dominant role as infrastructure managers and frequently also as service providers in vertically integrated structures. Limited cases of privatization occurred. Our survey evidence how each country has developed its own framework according to its transport system, political context, economic situation, business and regulatory environment. Further researches are needed to study the ex-post performance of the industry providing empirical evidences of the impacts of the reforms.},

This HSR project still carries, in spite of twenty years of continuous updating and reworking, a great deal of unsolved environmental and economic issues. An issue of insufficient cost-benefit balance has recently come to clear evidence, especially in view of the non-negligible passenger and freight traffic decrease along the Turin-Lyon direction. The most important aspects dealing with economic costs and claimed benefits, energetic considerations, legal constraints, environmental impact, health impact potential, and the negative experience of other projects, are discussed.},

abstract = {La perdurante scarsità di risorse pubbliche costringe a rivedere l’assioma della necessità, per ragioni di efficienza allocativa, di tariffazione ai costi sociali marginali (SMCP). Il paper propone una radicale revisione di tale principio, argomentando in favore di strategie tariffarie discriminanti, più eque ed anche più efficienti se si tiene conto adeguatamente del costo-opportunità marginale dei fondi pubblici (COMPF). Infine la tecnologia oggi può consentire più facilmente forme di tariffazione articolate. Si presenta poi l’analisi di un caso fittizio ma verosimile, di una infrastruttura con traffico e costi di costruzione dati, e ipotesi di elasticità della domanda da letteratura, e si calcolano i benefici sociali netti di diverse tariffe discriminanti in presenza di un COMFP ancora ricavato dalla letteratura, e analogamente i benefici aggiuntivi da ridotta congestione. In estrema sintesi: “un monopolio perfettamente discriminante che non realizza extraprofitti è efficiente”.},

abstract = {The paper analyses the relationship between low-cost carriers and secondary airports in Italy, resulting from the deregulation process and from the changes in the internal market due to the weak situation of the former flag carrier Alitalia. To do that, the paper discusses the incentive schemes used by airports to attract airlines. The paper begins by providing a general framework for incentives, supporting the analysis by means of three case studies (Aeroporti di Puglia, Alghero׳s airport, and Emilia-Romagna׳s airports). Findings from the study show that discounts on landing and/or terminal charges, revenue-guarantee schemes, and co-marketing agreements are the instruments most often used in Italian airports. The majority of them are publicly owned, entailing the use of public money to cover losses regardless of the real impacts of these strategies in economic and tourism terms. Therefore, to strengthen their role, airport policies need to be carefully defined and be included in a wider strategy aimed at promoting destinations and local development, rather than simply promoting air traffic.},

L’articolo, a partire da un’indagine online realizzata nel 2012 a Milano, analizza le potenzialità di un possibile servizio di carsharing peer-to-peer, indagando la propensione dell’utenza a condividere i veicoli, le fasce orarie di condivisione nonché le soglie di ricavo minimo richieste. Dall’indagine emerge in generale un discreto interesse verso lo schema, con una buona propensione verso la condivisione del mezzo privato, in particolare se all’interno di un gruppo ristretto di utenti di fiducia. L’analisi della possibile funzione di offerta costruita a partire dalla cifra richiesta dal condivisore e dalle finestre settimanali di condivisione, consente di discriminare tra diverse tipologie di utenti ed evidenzia come alcune fasce orarie (primo mattino) presentino un maggior potenziale in termini di veicoli disponibili mentre altre si caratterizzino per richieste economiche maggiori da parte del condivisore (sera).},

abstract = {In Italy long distance coach services have long played a significant role in connecting the most dispersed part of the country to major destinations, giving an important contribution to social and geographical inclusion, but remaining limited in absolute numbers and receiving marginal attention by the general public and even policy makers. After years of stability, the industry is going to face radical changes in the next years since its liberalisation process, gradually started in 2007, was completed at the end of 2013, changing from exclusive concessions to non-exclusive authorisations. In this paper we perform some spatial and scenario analyses, with particular reference to competing transport modes and new potential markets. The industry supplied more than 88 million bus-km in 2012, serving about 2.6 billion passenger-km. The existing network, providing a particularly extensive service in the South and in the Centre of the country, directly serves 2/3 of Italian population. New opportunities are arising as a consequence of liberalisation, changes in competing modes (in particular long distance railway services) and changes in characteristics of part of the country also as a consequence of more recent internal migration phenomena. Coach services in 2013 are serving only 27,000 origin-destination, including indirect connection, out of about 115,000 formally allowed. Many relations, including some very important in terms of total mobility, are still unexplored and left to competing transport modes (rail and air). Our analyses suggest that the most promising relations for possible new services appear to be those among the Centre and the North-East of the country, with a polarisation on urban areas having limited rail services.},

abstract = {Long distance coach services in Italy represent an almost unknown mode of transport to the general public, often ignored even by policy markers. The industry has been liberalised since 2007, and service regulation is gradually changing from exclusive concessions to non-exclusive authorisations. This paper aims at shedding a light on this sector, underlining its importance, evidencing its specific strengths and weaknesses starting from the results of the first numerical research specifically focused on long distance coach transport in Italy, carried out by the authors (Beria et al., 2012). We provide policy indications for this evolving and promising industry, looking at what happened in other countries and at what can be learnt from the European air industry after the liberalisation of the 90’s. We developed a geographical database of the long distance coaches supply and a database of the operating firms. Moreover, we interviewed managers and directors of some operating firms. According to our estimations, that are not present in the Italian transport statistics, the industry supplied more than 90m bus*kilometres in 2010. Our database shows the geographical areas where coach services are more present and some considerations about bus companies. To compare the industry with the long distance rail sector, which is partially subsidised in Italy, we referred to and analysed the official Ferrovie dello Stato (the national railway company) economic figures, to make comparisons on supply and estimated passengers. Today coach and rail are mainly complementary, often filling the qualitative and quantitative gaps of the rail. However, this is expected to evolve as a consequence of liberalization. Policy scenarios appear to be three: the consolidation of the existing market, inside the new liberalised context; an expansion of the market towards new users; a different attitude of the national planner towards a broader use of coach for the subsidised long distance “universal service”, now supplied only by rail.},

Il presente articolo intende fornire un contributo relativamente all’integrazione delle tecniche di valutazione socio-economica, quali l’Analisi Costi Benefici, nei PUMS, cioè in strumenti di programmazione complessi e formati da politiche ed azioni molto eterogenee e di articolata modellizzazione. L’articolo discute inizialmente in termini generali la complessità legata all’integrazione tra piani e valutazione, per poi mostrare i contenuti di un recente esempio, cioè il PUMS della città di Milano. Attraverso esso si discuteranno i modi con cui si è operata l’integrazione del modello di simulazione con lo strumento per l’Analisi Costi Benefici, e verranno presentati alcuni strumenti innovativi di rappresentazione dei risultati, utili alla comunicazione dei contenuti tecnici dell’analisi al più ampio pubblico dei decisori e dei cittadini.},

abstract = {Transport mobility plans, especially at the urban scale, are commonly produced by administrations. However, the decisions involved are often taken on a qualitative basis or, at best, by setting some indicators and verifying how much a plan or a scenario reaches the politically decided targets (e.g. “increasing by 10% the use of bike”). However, given that decisions on plans involve relevant public investments and may also determine radical changes in users’ costs, a more quantitative and comprehensive approach to the evaluation is needed. Cost Benefit Analysis is the tool commonly used to assess public expenditure, but its application to mobility plans introduces further practical and theoretical complexity. The aim of the paper is to discuss how CBA can be used to assess complex and multi-modal mobility plans (involving for example both infrastructural investments and lighter sustainable mobility policies). Firstly we will discuss which are the complexities involved by plan assessments vs. infrastructure assessments. Secondly, we will revise the available approaches, namely the approach with generalised costs, the Rule of Half and the use of logsum functions for the perfect integration between CBA and transport models. Thirdly, we will comment the main advantages and problems of the last approach, namely, the logsum, clarifying why it is the most suitable for the assessment of plans made of a broad range of policies and actions. Finally, we will outline an ongoing application for the assessment of the PUMS (Urban sustainable mobility plan) of Milan’s municipality.},

abstract = {Italy, together with Austria, UK and Czech Republic, is among the few European countries where non marginal open access competition in rail market exists. The entry of the newcomer NTV during 2012, with a fleet of some 25 trains, has changed quite radically the supply and the existing market conditions in Italy, both inside rail sector and versus other modes. The effect of this competition is, however, usually measured only in terms of market shares. The aim of this paper is, instead, to shed some light on the effect of competition on the pricing policies of the incumbent. To do that, we focused on the opening of a new fast direct service by the newcomer NTV between Milano and Ancona, three times a day. Through a web crawler, we built a dataset of daily available fares, collected directly from the operators' internet web sites. The dataset includes prices on existing direct and indirect trains, between August 1st 2013 and March 2014, from 30 to 1 days of advance booking, obtaining a total of 120,000 observations. The period includes the entry of NTV on the route, before operated daily by Trenitalia, which happened on December 15th 2013 and shows both the prices' seasonal variations and the reaction of Trenitalia. Results show that the price reaction by Trenitalia after the entry of NTV is limited to the 1st class, while prices on the 2nd class remain quite unchanged. The only effect is that the weekend peaks (usually Friday and Sunday) are smoothed, i.e. after NTV cheap fares are available if booked many days in advance. NTV pricing strategy is more aggressive to gain market shares on the new service and it offers always better fares than the public operator does. Only in the very last days before departure, the higher frequency of NTV allows it to obtain higher fares.},

abstract = {Carsharing systems are seen as a promising alternative to private mobility. Despite several systems are flourishing worldwide, their effective impact on the private mobility still remains negligible. One of the possible evolutions of carsharing system is to move towards a “peer to peer carsharing” (hereafter P2P): a carsharing in which cars are not centrally provided, but are owned by individuals who rent them when unused, in exchange of a monetary reward. Starting from a survey carried out in the year 2012, the paper aims at investigating the main determinants to adopt a P2P carsharing among the inhabitants of the municipality of Milan. Specifically, the probability to undertake a P2P carsharing is investigated by means of a descriptive statistics and two discrete choice models: binomial logit model and multinomial logit model, where the multinomial logit model allows to investigate the probability to share the personal car among different groups of people (nobody; friends, colleagues, and neighbours; all people). To our knowledge the paper represents the first attempt to investigate the propensity to join a P2P scheme by sharing the personal vehicle.},

The paper, after recalling the main characteristics of this service starting from the analysis of the literature on this topic, in the second part discusses the current situation of Milan’s CS followed by the presentation of a brand new project of CS, called Green Move, promoted by Politecnico di Milano and funded by Lombardia Region. Green Move entails both the electric and peer to peer (hereafter P2P) dimensions in a CS project. In order to test the new service and to have a preliminary estimation of its attractiveness, a stated preference survey among Milan’s citizens has been carried out. The very first results of this survey, concerning in particular the P2P dimension together with some policy considerations, are provided in the final part of the paper. To our knowledge, this represents the first attempt to estimate the potentiality of a P2P carsharing scheme through a specific market analysis.},

the majority of these airports are publicly owned, it could result both in public transfer to cover losses and in unjustified public expanses to
maintain underused or unnecessary airports due only to political reasons. The constraint on public transfer foreseen in the proposed national airport plan, could be the first step towards a more rational framework. On the other hand, due to the high unpredictability an
d evolution of the aviation sector, the national plan should not become a strict planning tool to imperatively decide which airports should grow and develop.

The issues are selected as for a) their acknowledged economic and political importance, b) their relevance across transport modes. An overview of the EU transport policy principles is also provided together with an assessment of the consistency of actual policy actions with those principles.

abstract = {I sistemi di carsharing (di seguito CS) sono considerati un’alternativa promettente all’auto privata. Nonostante diverse iniziative si siano sviluppate nel mondo, l’impatto reale sulla mobilità privata rimane ancora trascurabile. Una delle possibili evoluzioni del carsharing è rappresentata dal carsharing “peer to peer” (di seguito P2P) per il quale le auto non sono fornite centralmente da un gestore, ma sono di proprietà di singoli individui che le affittano nei momenti di non utilizzo in cambio di un ritorno economico. A partire da un’indagine svolta nel 2012 tra gli abitanti del comune di Milano, l’articolo cerca di individuare i principali fattori che favoriscono l’adesione ad un sistema di carsharing P2P. In particolare, la probabilità di adesione ad un sistema P2P è indagata attraverso un’analisi econometrica che si avvale di due modelli a scelta discreta: un modello logit binomiale e un modello logit multinomiale. Quest’ultimo consente di investigare la probabilità di condividere l’auto personale tra diversi gruppi di persone (nessuno; amici, colleghi e vicini; chiunque). L’articolo contribuisce alla ricerca, ancora in nuce, sul tema P2P e rappresenta il primo tentativo di analizzare, attraverso una indagine specifica, la propensione ad aderire ad uno schema P2P di condivisione dell’auto personale.},

abstract = {The removal of infrastructure bottlenecks is widely considered among the most profitable interventions, in socio-economic terms, and rail transport is not an exception. However, the measurement of the related benefits is difficult and no specific manuals indications seem to exist. Rail bottlenecks removals generate two family of benefits, related to the removal of scarcity problems (surplus gains for users otherwise excluded, saved net external costs due to avoided mode or path shifts and possible wider economic effects) and of congestion problems (improvement in rail service performance). The aim of this paper is to propose a simplified approach to estimate the effects of a capacity constraint for a simple rail network, and assess its removal through a CBA. In the first part, we describe the costs and benefits involved in bottleneck removal projects, suggesting possible sources and references. Then we briefly analyse the transport economics literature on the evaluation of rail bottleneck removals and in particular on the aspects related to the consumers’ surplus. In the following we introduce the proposed methodology, based on the use of a standard logit model, to measure the rail users’ generalised costs with and without the capacity constraint, and the consequent users and social surplus variation. The model is specified initially for a single link and then extended to a more complex network. We also discuss the effect of regulation in the distribution of calculated surplus variations. We complete the paper with a numerical case study about the appraisal of capacity investments in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a north-eastern Italian region whose main rail network is part of two European TEN-T corridors (Mediterranean and Baltic – Adriatic).},

abstract = {Since urban congestion is a major problem in many European cities, many policies have been adopted in order to face this issue, ranging from road construction and public transport improvement (supply), to softer policies such as low-speed zones or “sustainable mobility” campaigns (Maltese et al., 2010). One of the policies undertaken at the city level is road pricing, usually declined in the form of cordon pricing around the most congested areas. This measure is perceived as radical and difficult to be accepted both by users and, a fortiori, by decision-makers (Gaunt et al. 2007, Glazer 2012, Hamilton 2012). As a result, very few cases of urban road pricing exist in Europe, and they mainly concern the following Northern European cities: London, Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, and Gothenburg. Nevertheless, since 2007, a road pricing policy (“Ecopass”), has been adopted in the city of Milan (Italy), too. This policy, born as pollution charge in 2007 (Rotaris et al., 2010) explicitly became congestion charge in 2011 (”Area C”), as a result of a public referendum. Within this context the present paper aims to investigate the effects of the “Area C” road pricing measure on the mobility behaviour of the Milan citizens. The data come from the Green Move project, conducted in the year 2012 among the inhabitants of the municipality of Milan (Beria, Laurino, 2013). The database consists of 1,198 observations, and includes demographic variables (gender, age, education and skills), respondent’s address, variables related to the number of owned cars and typology, individual travel patterns, etc. (Beria, Mariotti, 2013). The impact of “Area C” on the respondents’ travel behaviour has been investigated by means of descriptive statistics and an econometric analysis – multinomial logit model – (Train 2003, Marcucci, 2011). The model includes several explanatory variables: from demographic variables, variables related to the number of owned cars, their value and fuel-typology, to the district of residence. Besides, the effect of exogenous variables, such as the perceived increase in oil prices is observed, too. The paper is structured into six sections. The introduction is followed by the literature review on the European experiences of urban road congestion pricing (among the others, Rotaris et al, 2010; Börjesson et al., 2012; Eliasson and Jonsson 2011; Eliasson et al. 2010). Data and methodology are presented in Section three, while the empirical analysis –descriptive statistics and econometric model – is described in Sections four and five. Conclusions and policy recommendations follow.},

It initially had a large impact on traffic volume, but in some years its effect worn off, as the citizen of Milan started to change their cars. This is why in June 2011 Milan citizens were consulted in a referendum for its extension to all cars, resulting in a strong support to the policy extension. We initially describe and contextualize the Milan experiment within the main European experiences on urban road charging in order to have a better understanding of the acceptability of this kind of measures. The paper then attempts to study, through a revealed references exercise, which are the determinants of the highly positive vote in favour of the extension to a road pricing scheme. In particular we are focusing on: ideological orientation, socio-economic variables, distance from the city centre, public transport provision. Differently from existing literature, we put particular interest in the latter, as we want to assess the relationship between policy acceptability and neighbourhood accessibility, to verify if public transport was essential to the successful implementation of road charging.},

The presence of a national coordination structure (Iniziativa Carsharing - ICS), unique in Europe, surely helped the development of the system. A case study in Milan, showing a significant increase in CS membership after the implementation of a city charging scheme, might suggest that other mobility policies, external to CS itself, might have a significant role in its development.},

abstract = {The topic of external costs of transport is widely studied in the scientific literature and policy makers are showing a growing awareness on this problem. One of the main tools used to control the social costs of transport and reduce welfare losses associated to externalities is that of internalisation via tariffs: road pricing, carbon taxes, dedicated taxes, etc. Actually, many taxes on transport already exist, but seldom have an explicit internalisation purpose. In this paper we compare current road transport perceived marginal costs in Italy with social ones. Starting from the literature on the topic, in the analytical part of the paper we present the case of Italy and quantify the current level of external costs and taxation. Then we compare unit taxes with marginal transport social costs, with particular respect to different driving contexts. Results show that gasoline passengers cars always perceive the external costs they generate more than any other vehicle category. In urban contexts external costs are still not rightly perceived, with the exception of recent gasoline cars only and excluding congestion. Outside urban contexts, the perceived share is considerably higher. Estimates also suggest that a distortion exists with respect to the gap between highway tolls and infrastructure damage costs in Italy: trucks pay only a little more than marginal infrastructure costs they generate, so that only cars are actually paying for new investments.},

In contrast, the public bus and rail transport system receives subsidies valued at approximately thirteen billion euros per year, inclusive of new infrastructure. the other methods of transport benefit from relatively lower resources, with air industry close to even. the paper discusses the tools available for a more informed assessment of this expenditure, in particular, from the socio-economic perspective, through a cost benefit analysis (cbA), outlines possible alternative scenarios of public expenditure and the effects on patronage, and presents the authors’ conclusions and policy indications},

The regulatory frameworks are described and then assessed according to their implications on the degree of liberalisation and on their actual market opening. The conclusions are that the actual level of market opening is still limited and, only in some cases, is the liberalisation improving. Entry in the industry has not yet developed its full potential. An issue emerging in this research is the opposing attitude of incumbent railways against liberalisation and the role of governments in backing this behaviour.},

Many comparative studies already exist, pointing out the differences in technicalities and standard values used in the normative frameworks. The contribution of this paper is, instead, to look at the role assigned to assessment procedures in the broader process of decision-making in the transport infrastructure sector. In particular, we look at the role of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in the process of infrastructure planning . The cases vary from the use of CBA to assess single schemes out of a general public-driven strategy (like in the UK), to centrally planned and assessed infrastructure in which CBA is used essentially to prioritise among a range of concurrent projects (like in Germany or the Nordic countries). Substantial differences also exist among planned approaches, ranging from centrally managed modelling and ranking, to more complex and cooperative approaches. After reviewing each of the six countries and introducing their approach, we define an interpretation scheme. By means of this scheme, we propose a comparison of the six countries, identifying their strengths and weaknesses. This analysis also makes it possible to comment more rationally some of the commonly found pitfalls of evaluation, such as hidden agendas of decision makers, derived finance problems and relationships with agencies. The paper concludes with some policy indications, proposing three “theoretical” models of the process.},

If MCA is an acknowledged technique for the assessment of sustainability at neighbourhood level, CBA is mainly used for infrastructure and large transformation projects. The aim of the paper is twofold: (i) highlight strengths and weaknesses of the two techniques, especially when assessing SM at the neighbourhoods scale; (ii) investigate the applicability of MCA and CBA to evaluate some relevant SM strategies and policies at the neighbourhood scale. To do so, a detailed description of MCA and CBA is presented and, when it exists, a review of their application to assess SM at neighbourhood level is described. Strengths and weaknesses of the approaches are, therefore, highlighted and their applicability to some specific SM measures are examined. Results and conclusions It results that the joint use of the two methodologies could overcome their mutual weaknesses, providing a coherent methodology for assessing both efficiency and effectiveness of SM policies and projects.},

abstract = {Le infrastrutture di trasporto ferroviario rappresentano un tema su cui l’attenzione dei media in Italia si è concentrata molto negli ultimi anni, con un dibattito pubblico senza dubbio molto acceso, non sempre equilibrato, informato e trasparente. In particolare, il tentativo di realizzare nuove grandi infrastrutture di trasporto in un ambiente sensibile – e già attraversato da altre infrastrutture importanti – come le Alpi, ha fatto emergere importanti questioni di inserimento e accettabilità delle grandi infrastrutture di trasporto, rimettendone in discussione anche l’opportunità e la giustificazione socio-economica. I contributi in questa pubblicazione si propongono di fornire nuovi elementi, provenienti da esperienze di tecnica, economia e politica dei trasporti. L’attuale processo di pianificazione e programmazione di investimenti in infrastrutture ferroviarie in Italia sembra necessitare innovazioni importanti: in particolare occorre uno sforzo collettivo teso alla ricerca di un nuovo possibile equilibrio tra la necessità di migliorare la competitività e le prestazioni del sistema dei trasporti – che appaiono spesso ancora inadeguate – e di ridurne l’impatto ambientale, con la necessità di contenere il più possibile (vista anche la grave crisi in corso, in particolare in Italia) la spesa pubblica e di rendere accettabili gli impatti delle eventuali nuove infrastrutture sui territori attraversati, garantendo la trasparenza dovuta durante l’arco di tutto il processo decisionale.},

This HSR project still carries, in spite of twenty years of continuous updating and reworking, a great deal of unsolved environmental and economic issues. An issue of insufficient cost-benefit balance has recently come to clear evidence, especially in view of the non-negligible passenger and freight traffic decrease along the Turin-Lyon direction. The most important aspects dealing with economic costs and claimed benefits, energetic considerations, legal constraints, environmental impact, health impact potential, and the negative experience of other projects, are discussed: they all suggest that the High-Speed Train Turin-Lyon is not a priority for Italy and France, and its construction should be immediately stopped.},

abstract = {Il federalismo sembra, se pur in modo contraddittorio, essere un’istanza liberale, nella misura in cui postula una sorta di “mercato politico” delle scelte pubbliche più controllabile dai contribuenti e dagli utenti dei sevizi (Buchanan e Tullock, 1962). Se le risorse vengono prelevate in maggior misura con tasse locali e non con trasferimenti “earmarked” dal centro (anche noti come “finanza derivata”), come avviene ora, si possono mettere in moto due fenomeni virtuosi. In primo luogo i contribuenti possono esercitare una pressione più diretta sugli eletti per contenere il prelievo fiscale totale, ma soprattutto si può generare un dibattito più trasparente sulle priorità di spesa (anche in termini di attività di lobbies contrapposte). In questo contesto, appare più difficile che prevalgano progetti o politiche palesemente inefficienti. Al contrario, in un contesto di “finanza derivata”, gli incentivi per i decisori politici locali sono opposti, cioè sono quelli di massimizzare la spesa attraverso la massimizzazione di trasferimenti dal Tesoro. Infatti, in questo modo massimizzano il consenso, anche in caso di progetti di dubbia utilità: non sono i loro elettori a pagarli. Un secondo aspetto generale concerne il concetto di regolazione economica; si ricorda qui che una efficace regolazione economica di monopoli naturali (per esempio le infrastrutture di trasporto) o legali (per esempio, i servizi di trasporto locali) ha la stessa valenza concettuale della concorrenza: difende gli utenti e/o i contribuenti da rendite e inefficienze proprie del monopolio. Di conseguenza appare giustificato trattare questo aspetto insieme a quello della liberalizzazione. La regionalizzazione dei trasporti, come si vedrà in seguito, è un fenomeno in parte già in corso: se ne vedranno qui alcuni aspetti, anche contraddittori, che sembrano emergere dalle esperienze già fatte e se ne trarranno delle possibili indicazioni di policy.},

abstract = {La regionalizzazione dei trasporti, intesa in particolar modo come assunzione decentrata di scelte di cui si sia poi politicamente e fiscalmente responsabili, rientra nel più ampio dibattito sul federalismo che negli ultimi tempi ha assunto un ruolo sempre più rilevante in Italia. L'articolo si propone di analizzare il contesto attuale per quattro settori di trasporto cercando di evidenziare le ricadute per gli utenti. I trasporti sono uno dei settori su cui può essere più condivisibile un sostanziale decentramento di potere decisionale poiché, contrariamente a quanto spesso percepito, gli spostamenti di merci e persone avvengono per il 75% circa in ambito regionale (con costi e problemi ambientali relativi). Purtroppo l'enfasi posta dai governi di centro-destra sulle "grandi opere" ha distorto questo ovvio elemento fattuale, facendo intendere che soprattutto le infrastrutture per le lunghe distanze fossero essenziali per famiglie e imprese. L'articolo si propone di analizzare negli elementi essenziali le esperienze che si sono verificate nei diversi comparti dei trasporti in seguito ai diversi tentativi fatti di regionalizzare alcuni aspetti importanti del settore. Verranno pertanto ripercorse brevemente le alterne vicende relative al trasporto pubblico locale e al trasporto regionale su ferro fino ad arrivare ai recenti sviluppi che hanno di fatto visto una sostanziale attenuazione di quelle che erano le premesse contenute nelle leggi emanate nella seconda metà degli anni novanta. Per quanto riguarda il settore autostradale, l'articolo analizza i nuovi soggetti misti ANAS-Regioni istituiti per la realizzazione delle autostrade regionali; infine vengono proposte alcune riflessioni sullo stato attuale del settore aeroportuale e portuale evidenziando le implicazioni per gli enti locali. Anticipando le conclusioni, si osserva che di regionalizzazione reale nel settore dei trasporti ve né è piuttosto poca, se si intende regionalizzazione come assunzione decentrata di scelte di cui si sia poi politicamente e fiscalmente responsabili. Per quanto riguarda i trasporti pubblici locali, si evidenzia una forte presenza e dipendenza dal governo centrale per il finanziamento dei servizi. Una soluzione possibile sarebbe quella di finanziare questi servizi tramite la fiscalità locale, introducendo contemporaneamente dispositivi aggregati di riequilibrio tra aree con diversi livelli di reddito, validi per tutti i servizi. Per le infrastrutture (ferrovie, strade, aeroporti, porti, metropolitane), sarebbe opportuno anche qui operare un decentramento vero, escluso un numero limitato di opere di sicura valenza sovra-regionale. Una volta decentrate risorse e prelievi fiscali relativi, è fondamentale la creazione di un'autorità regolatoria nazionale indipendente a difesa degli utenti (ma anche delle imprese concessionarie). Infine sarebbe da auspicare che, con l'aumento delle responsabilità di gestione ed investimento a livello regionale o sub-ragionale, vengano istituiti uffici locali dell'autorità centrale in grado di supportare l'applicazione della tutela degli utenti a livello decentrato.},

Further extensions are under construction or planned, especially in the most important international relations. This network is widely considered as fundamental to comply the European vision of a continental-wide transport system. The paper analyses the past and the future of such network, where possible from a quantitative point of view. The first part of the article reviews the history of the Alta Velocità scheme, particularly focusing on the issues related to the economic regulation of the investments and the financial troubles at first and then on the present issues related to the regulation of rail services. The analysis of the supply, the time gains, the demand and the costs allows to build a simple but independent evaluation of the past projects from an ex-post perspective, pointing out the successes, but also important critical issues. The second part of the paper analyses the future expansion plans looking at the costs, the existing and expected demand and derives some policy indications and cost reduction strategies capable both to control public expenditure in a period of crisis and not to abandon the idea of a modern and effective rail network.},

The history of the airline is characterized by a continuous decline in its competitive position since the progressive liberalization of the European aviation market. The root cause of this decline lies in the carrier being mainly used as a political tool rather than operating as a competitive firm. In a liberalized market this doomed Alitalia to failure, which was artificially delayed by numerous state financial and regulatory interventions. The paper starts with a historical overview of the most important events in recent Alitalia history. Thereafter the main causes of the airline’s weak competitive position relative to other European carriers are analyzed. We argue that the underlying causes of the decline were continuous political protection, lack of strategic views in favor of short-term objectives, and poor managerial decisions.},

abstract = {The assessment of infrastructure investments is often affected by inaccuracy in traffic forecasting, optimism bias and overvaluation of expected benefits. In general, even when such misrepresentation is not strategically introduced by proponents to push their projects, valuators and decision makers must cope with the existence of a risk of demand levels below expectations and consequent problem of overinvestment. In this sense, the concept of option value suggests that flexible or reversible projects may have a higher economic net present value compared with rigid schemes characterised by sunk costs. However, conventionally used cost benefit analysis (CBA) is very seldom used to manage such problem due to the complexity of the issue (for example when introducing a complete risk analysis). Moreover, such CBAs are still conceived as a static tool to decide ex-ante about an investment. In this paper we develop a theoretical framework and a practical application of CBA to formally manage such uncertainty and help the decision makers by postponing some decisions to the following running phase. The idea is to assess the project as split into smaller functional sections and bind the construction of a further section to the compliance of a pre-determined “switching rule”. In practical terms, we adapt a normal CBA procedure to manage also the time dimension of time of investments to reallocate risks already in the early design stage of transport infrastructures. The purpose of the paper is twofold. Firstly, we introduce a way to extend conventional CBA methodology to manage the phasing of projects. Secondly, we demonstrate both theoretically (with a simplified model) and practically (with a more complex case study) the positive effect of phasing under certain conditions (limitedness of sunk-costs due to phasing, predominance of capacity problems). By numerically developing the CBA of the Turin – Lyon high speed rail project, we show how to reduce the risk of overestimation of traffic and its positive effect in terms of NPV of the project: if forecasts are optimistic, only the most effective parts of the scheme will be built. If the traffic forecasts are correct, the new infrastructure will be built as a whole in steps and will generate the highest net benefits.},

abstract = {The traditional ‘social choice’ approach states that public intervention is needed in the presence of social goals and/or of market failures. Historically this intervention has assumed the form known as ‘command and control’, that is, direct public production or, more frequently, by means of ‘public agencies’. Within this model, the public actor (the ‘principal’) is assumed in fact to be both benevolent and all-knowing. Therefore he will be perfectly able both to obtain from his ‘agents’ (the above-mentioned public agencies in charge of providing the service) efficient results, and to succeed in targeting welfare maximization. But the assumption of benevolent and all-knowing public principals and agencies is clearly unrealistic, and considering these public principals as ‘humans’, and not angels, in the line of the ‘public choice’ school, is much more realistic.1 Among the many facts that prove this orientation, are the performances of the public agencies which have in general deteriorated over time, due to mechanisms of ‘capture’, that is, the influence of the interests of the agency on the decision maker, of ‘rent seeking’, that is, the tendency of the agency to reduce its effort, and of ‘informative rents’, that is, the possibility of the agency to manipulate the relevant information in its favour (see Buchanan, 1969). The State has difficulties in simultaneously meeting welfare and efficiency objectives. It faces problems in getting productive efficiency: the minimization of labor costs is an all-important factor of efficiency, while welfare objectives are in general connected...},

abstract = {Economic regulation per se is a highly controversial issue, and more so in the transport sector, given its high technical complexity -- infrastructure and services, public and private actors, social and efficiency objectives. Moreover, there is little consolidated, practical experience in this sector as regulatory institutions are rather scarce and their tasks far from being clearly defined.
The first part of the paper analyses a number of general transport and mode-specific issues, that can provide indications for both setting up regulatory bodies and orienting their strategies. In Section 5, a national case study is presented (Italy), where no specific regulatory institution for the transport sector has existed until now, but where some attempts at introducing regulatory principles have been made, albeit with little practical success. Nevertheless, the defense mechanisms set in motion by the regulated companies (and the political actors supporting them, either within a “captured” context or simply to maintain their dominant role), can provide some important suggestions for future action, corroborating the initial, more general considerations.},

In particular, it focuses on the Italian highway sector, where in the last years many projects have been launched using new financial instruments. The paper discusses three of these “instruments”. The first one is the Project Financing, discussed starting from a general review, analyzing also the different typologies used, the risks involved and their allocation among the various subjects that take part in the PF mechanism. A special case concerns the recently introduced model used for the Italian highways, known as “PF with takeover compensation”. There are two other important mechanisms used for financing infrastructure projects in Italy: the exploitation of road demand rigidity and the spreading of the investment over the entire network, favouring larger concessions. We conclude that all these three mechanisms present deep flaws in terms of transparency and of contradiction with economic feasibility criteria (that have to dominate the public investment rationale).},

These three variables (transport costs, land rent and building constraints) do obviously interact in very complex way. We try some radical simplification that seems to show a certain number of distributive, and related policy consequences, far from obvious: in particular a) the possible meaning of urban sprawl as an “escape from rent” (with trade-offs between rent and transport costs) and b) the role of “dispersed” (i.e. car-driven) accessibility against concentrated (i.e. public transport driven) solutions, at least in some circumstances. The tools employed are also, at this stage of the research, quite simple (linear graphic relations), in order to state some initial finding. But this is a start-up approach, with a range of theoretical and empirical researches to follow.},

But the implementation of second best alternatives can give rise to serious problems when transferred from theory to practice. This chapter will discuss in particular the problems that might rise when investment cost are included (totally or partially) in the social marginal costs rules, and in particular when private operators are involved.},

Methods range from traditional public procurement to land value capture, passing by the taxes of scope and project financing. The paper is structured as follows. After an introduction, a review of the available traditional and innovative methods is provided in section 2 and 3, both from the theoretical and applicative point of view. Some literature examples are given in section 4, stressing the main outcomes of some applications around the world. The following section is dedicated to a cross-methods comment. Section 6 is proposing an exercise application to Milan new metro line 4 financing. Some “innovative” funding methods are commented, focusing on the application of a simple land value capture scheme, including an exercise calculation of the possible revenue.

The thesis of the paper is that the funding and building of new infrastructures is often the pillar of this strategy, since this is the field where the legal framework is weaker. A short review of the present normative is followed by the description of the behaviour of the main agents. Recent planning documents will be commented, pointing out the tendency of the regulated monopolists to find out new strategies to maximise their objectives. Among these, the proposal of new infrastructures is the field where monopolists are more active and where regulation should be more effective.},

abstract = {This paper discusses the relationship between land rent and new transport infrastructure, and analyses the problems of social structure and distribution of income that can arise. The building of a new transport infrastructure, increasing the accessibility of the area and the level of mobility, can result in the
increase in the value of land in that area. This is also tightly linked to building constraints on the area, because they raise the scarcity of land that is an element of land rent. So, if accessibility increases and if there are building constraints, also land rent will rise. This land rent can be transferred into the prices of houses and buildings, and in turn of goods and services, which are in the ownership of individuals and firms. This raises the issue of social distribution: while the transport infrastructure is paid for by all taxpayers, one important benefit, land rent, is captured only by a limited number of owners (it can be also the total of owners). Is it possible to avoid this and how? There are, at least, two ways. First, the capture of land rent by general financing options. This practice, common in USA, takes part of the benefits arising from the building of infrastructure to finance it. Second, the removal or reduction of building constraints on the land involved.
Rent, among other factors, is a function of the scarcity of land and building constraints help establish scarcity of land. If new building land becomes available, total rent decreases. In this paper we examine the connection between the building of a transport infrastructure and the land rent
that it creates, and we try to explore two solutions to manage the issues of social distribution that may arise.},

The Italian situation is characterised by non homogeneity among the transport modes and insufficient, or even perverse, incentives to efficiency. Also, the norms promote the tendency to overinvestment and “gold plating” because applied within a weak planning framework. After a theoretical introduction to the financing mechanisms (public funding, PPP, price cap, etc.), the paper is structured by modes. For each infrastructure type (national roads, highways, railways, ports and airports), the most common funding practices are commented, underlining their characteristics, limits and implications. National roads and railways are financed by general budget on the basis of a planning activity usually carried by the agent itself. Conversely, highways, airports and ports are partially financed by fares under conditions of legal monopoly granted by concessions. However, the formulas for fares determination are questionable and sometimes provide incentives to overinvestment. The last section will provide recommendations for a more efficient regulation.},

Per fare ciò vengono brevemente tracciate le possibili indicazioni della teoria, per poi passare allo stato della normativa europea e italiana e all’effettivo grado di liberalizzazione raggiunto nel paese. Ciascun modo discusso (ferro, gomma, aria, nave, compresa la regolazione delle infrastrutture) viene completato da un commento sulle prevedibili evoluzioni attese. La rassegna è naturalmente sintetica, ma cerca di cogliere e commentare tutti gli aspetti rilevanti utilizzando la medesima griglia interpretativa. In conclusione verranno formulati alcuni brevi commenti complessivi sul grado di liberalizzazione dei vari modi e sulle motivazioni di tali disomogeneità.},

Il progetto di un tunnel di base ferroviario sotto il passo del Brennero ha l’obiettivo di aumentare la capacità ferroviaria dell’asse alpino oggi più trafficato. I risultati sono positivi solo se l'opera è completata da una rampa di accesso oggi non prevista. Nella prassi internazionale verrebbe comunque classificata come marginale. Meglio sarebbe affidarsi a una strategia di gradualità: realizzare subito alcuni piccoli interventi, utili per la capacità del sistema a medio termine, ma molto meno costosi. Nel frattempo occorrerebbe monitorare l'andamento dei traffici, dei costi e degli altri valichi. Aprendo i cantieri solo in presenza di certezze sui benefici e di completa disponibilità di risorse.},
