| 摘要： | An important motivation for transportation investment in many urban areas is to address increasing traffic congestion. This has led local and state transportation officials, including the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), to be concerned about how increasing congestion can affect economic growth. Past attempts to assess the economic implications of congestion have found that this is a difficult relationship to document. The most obvious approach, asking businesses in congested areas how they are affected, is problematic because those that have been driven out of business or driven away because of congestion are no longer present, and the remaining businesses typically are unable to report how different their operations would be under a hypothetical scenario of no congestion. As a result, this study has been designed to assess the economic implications of congestion by using an empirical analysis approach, which documents the many aspects of congestion-related costs incurred by different types of business operations in different types of urban settings; statistical analysis is then used to show how transportation costs have affected patterns of businesses in two major metropolitan areas. |
