Economic Appraisal and Reappraisal of an Inter-Urban Road in Great Britain

A relief road for Wellington, Somerset, opened in 1971, was built to a very modest standard because it was to be superseded by the extension of the M5 motorway. This reappraisal shows that the low-cost road has been successful; Wellington has been improved by the diversion of traffic.

The search for higher utility alternatives underpins the empirical observation that longer-run demand elasticities tend to be higher than in the short run. However, there is another implication, that there will be a bias if consumer surplus is estimated by the use of a static model. This paper shows that there is a special case where using a static elasticity does not give bias.

Although the value of life and the value of time are difficult to estimate, there are means available for approaching monetary values. Calculations are given for one well-known safety intervention: the US 55 mph speed limit.

The Optimal Timing of Infrastructure Investment

This paper looks at the differences between the private firm and the public planner in timing investment in projects involving large sunk costs in growing markets.

The paper looks at policy instruments for altering the private sector’s timing decision.
