چکیده
The paper assesses the marginal welfare and equity impacts of three transport instruments in the presence of three transport externalities: congestion, air pollution and accidents. It considers a second-best economy in which the government has to use distortionary taxes for revenue-raising and distributional purposes. The assessment uses an applied general equilibrium model for Belgium. The transport instruments are: peak road pricing, the fuel tax and subsidies to public transport. They are introduced in a revenue-neutral way with the labour income tax, the lump sum social security transfers and other transport instruments serving as revenue-preserving instruments. It is shown that the equity effects of the transport instruments depend to a large extent on how revenue-neutrality is ensured. The political acceptability of transport policy reforms can therefore be enhanced by a careful design of the revenue-preserving strategies. Moreover, it is argued that distributional considerations cannot be ignored in the double dividend discussion.

متن کاملMap generalization: Information theoretic approach to feature elimination
The present paper proposes an entropy based algorithm for the feature elimination in cartographic generalization. The methodology is tested on a map with 100 point symbols. The experiment demonstrates how the most con°icting map symbols are detected and eliminated from the map. The optimal symbol size can be computed from the entropy model. It is shown how to modify the entropy measure in such ...
