International Journal Of Transport Economics
The main aim of the Journal is to bring together the research work being done in the field of Transport Economics and arrange it organically in the form of a synthesis between theory and fact.
The situation facing transport economics is one in which old problems remain to be solved and new ones have been created by a wider range of information and improved methods of analysis.
In addition, foreseeable development in the internal logic of theories and the formulation of fresh hypotheses to interpret complex phenomena, both economic and non-economic, are becoming the object of further research for which the Journal is intended to be a medium of expression and comparison.
It is important in this respect to stress the fact that transport economics is prepared to take advantage of contributions from allied sciences and combine them in providing a more convincing interpretation of realities together with solutions to concrete problems. Within this framework the contributions to the Journal, though differing in standpoint and cultural background, will all be expected to maintain a rigorous standard of scientific scholarship.
Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, management, engineering, mathematics, statistics, etc.

Upcoming Special ISSUE - Advanced Technology: New Trends in Transportation Policy and Economics
Since the last decades, due to technological revolution in transportation and logistics domain, the field is dramatically revolving and improving the efficiency of existing methods (Basnak et al. 2020; Golpîra et al. 2021). Advanced technologies are emerging to meet these challenges, including traffic analytics, recycling and waste, green and autonomous vehicles, fuel reduction, and performance optimization (Khan et al. 2021; Du et al. 2020; Koh et al. 2020). The advanced technologies also help in decision-making and policy formulation that support transit-oriented development (Khan et al. 2021).
The ever-increasing development of transportation demand models, especially micro-simulations, highlights the social and economic relations underlying mobility choices and, on the other side, advancement of technology, which helps to achieve greater efficiency and reduced vulnerability in the system (Dimitrakopoulos and Demestichas 2010). The technological revolution in the field of transportation economics provides opportunities, but is also affected and challenged by transportation policies and economics (Nowiński and Kozma 2017; Kouhizadeh et al. 2019), which this special issue aims to focus on.
For this special issue, empirical, mathematical, and simulation research studies are the key focus. Surveys, case studies, and action research might be appropriate for this Special Issue.
The special issue aims to address the following, but not limited to, potential topics in the field of transportation economics:
- Multimodal transportation innovation
- Rideshare, ride-hailing, and shared mobility
- Circular economy practices in transportation
- Policy and planning for emerging technologies
- Advanced technology in transportation (e.g., blockchain, Industry 0.4, IoT, and AI)
- Transport and land-use policies
- Green transportation
- Electric and autonomous vehicles
- Vehicle recycling
- Transportation demand management
- Resource utilization of ELVs
- Mobility as a service
- Innovation in logistics and freight delivery

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF TRANSPORT ECONOMICS PRIZE - VII EDITION
In the aim of promoting quality research among young researchers, the International Journal of Transport Economics has introduced, starting from 2015, an annual competition for young researchers in the field of Transport Economics.
After the success of the past editions, this seventh edition has the goal to further promote among young scholars high-quality research that deals with transport related issues. In order to do so, an international Jury will review the submitted papers according to the Journal peer-reviewing rules.
The winner will receive a prize of €1,000. Furthermore, the winning paper (and, possibly, other papers according to the review results) will be published in our Journal.
Young researchers (younger than 35 years old or within 2 years from the end of their Phd) are invited to submit their own original works.
Authors should submit an approximately 6,000-words paper of publishable quality synthesizing their research. IJTE Instructions to Authors can be found on the journal’s website (http://www.ijte.org/authors.php).
Papers should be emailed to Professor Enrico Musso (editor@ijte.org) by the 15th December 2020.
IJTE now on RePEc
We are pleased to announce that the International Journal of Transport Economics is now indexed and available through the RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) services.
