Abstract

This article estimates the welfare losses due to the congestion externality on the Paris Ring Road (PRR). Doing so, we illustrate the debates linked to the valuation of this ?non market interaction?. This work is made possible thanks to a rich dataset describing the PRR?s usage in 2000 and 2007. The ?economic? cost of road congestion on the PRR reached 130 M euros in 2007, that is to say a small increase compared to 2000 (+6 %). Whilst accounting for 8 % of the total kilometers daily driven on the PRR, speed classes below 20 km/h concentrate 70 % of time wastes. We discuss the optimal taxation of road congestion on the PRR and we highlight that ?non economic? approaches largely overestimate the losses arisen from the travelers? lack of coordination.
