Abstract

The ECMT held its 16th International Symposium on Theory and Practice in Transport Economics from 29 to 31 October 2003, in Budapest. The theme of the 2003 Symposium was “50 years of Transport Research: experience gained and major challenges ahead”. Some of the issues debated by the more than 300 participants attending the Symposium were: the link between transport growth and economic growth; possible options for deregulation of the transport sector, or more specifically, whether regulation and competition were substitutes or complements; and the link between transport and environmental sustainability. This publication contains 22 introductory reports covering transport and economic growth and their interdependencies, competition and regulation, and sustainability of transport (the roles of modal split and pricing). Discussions held at the conference are summarised and the concluding remarks of the conference are given in two further papers. For abstracts of the papers see C 35146 - C 35169 (ITRD E128115-E128135 and E128229-E128232). For the summary of the discussions see: http://www.cemt.org/online/conclus/Symp03e.pdf
