| Tiivistelmä: | Optimal economic charging for transportation infrastructure requires the meeting of several conditions in order to achieve first-best traffic flows. In practice, these assumptions are not met, and first-best pricing is seldom achieved. Second-best approaches pose certain problems for atomistic markets, such as cars seeking road space, although the challenges change when there are a limited number of buyers and queuing abilities are constrained. This paper studies the latter situation in the air transportation infrastructure. It reviews some of the empirical work on airport runway pricing to assess whether it sufficiently reflects the essence of the situation. It considers the role that more direct, market-oriented approaches might play to enhance the efficiency of infrastructure allocation as one moves away from the atomistic market dominating thinking considering road transportation. In doing so it pays especial attention to the technical differences of the industries. |
