Abstract

Changes in the discipline of transport economics in Europe have implications for different modes, topics, and agents within the field. This article presents some of the most important changes, with a focus on the situation within the European Union (EU). The EU offers a coherent institutional basis for presenting some important regulations toward liberalization, in this case, those that are part of so‐called European Common Transport Policy. The selection of the topics has depended largely on the interest and expertise of the author; obviously, other important topics developed by experts from individual countries or even transport authorities within their boundaries could expand the discussion.
