The value of travel time savings in freight transport
The value of freight travel time savings (VFTTS) is a monetary value that is considered an important input into cost–benefit analysis and traffic forecasting. The VFTTS is defined as the marginal rate of substitution between travel time and cost and may therefore differ across firms, time and countries. The paper aims to explain variations in the VFTTS by using the meta-analysis method. The analysis covers 106 monetary valuations extracted from 5…
The demand impacts of train punctuality in great britain
This paper updates and extends the systematic review and meta-analysis of Wardman and Batley (Transportation 41:1041–1069, 2014), which hitherto was the most comprehensive study of the impacts of punctuality on passenger rail demand in the literature. Whereas the 2014 paper covered 51 elasticities from 6 studies in Great Britain published between 2003 and 2011, this updated paper adds 11 subsequent British studies yielding a further 201 observati…
Participation in online activities while travelling
Travel-based multitasking, i.e. using travel time to conduct enjoyable and/or productive activities, is the subject of an increasing number of theoretical and empirical studies. Most existing studies focus on modelling the choice of which activities people conduct while travelling, and a limited number of papers also focuses on their duration. The novelty of this study with respect to this literature is two-fold. Firstly, we specifically study th…
New appraisal values of travel time saving and reliability in Great Britain
This paper provides an overview of the study ‘Provision of market research for value of time savings and reliability’ undertaken by the Arup/ITS Leeds/Accent consortium for the UK Department for Transport (DfT). The paper summarises recommendations for revised national average values of in-vehicle travel time savings, reliability and time-related quality (e.g. crowding and congestion), which were developed using willingness-to-pay (WTP) methods, …
Income effects, cost damping and the value of time
Mackie et al. (Values of travel time savings in the UK. Report to Department for Transport. Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds & John Bates Services, Leeds and Abingdon, 2003) proposed an identity relating the value of time (VoT) for commute and leisure travel to income and travel cost, reporting the prevalence of ‘cost damping’ (i.e. the phenomenon where VoT increases as travel cost increases). This identity (or a variant there…
Understanding valuation of travel time changes
Stated choice (SC) experiments are the most popular method to estimate the value of travel time changes (VTTC) of a population. In the simplest VTTC experiment, the SC design variables are time changes and cost changes. The levels of these variables create a particular setting from which preferences are inferred. This paper tries to answer the question "do preferences vary with SC settings?". For this, we investigate the role of the variables use…

The Politics of Public Services
Politics is widely regarded as affecting and being affected by the performance of public services, yet little research differentiates between services in exploring these effects. The article addresses this gap by proposing a framework for understanding and comparing the politics of different services. It identifies how the nature of the good, type of market failure, tasks involved in delivery, and demand for a service—hitherto regarded largely as…

Engagement with Non‐State Service Providers in Fragile States
The OECD questions whether non‐state services in fragile states may delegitimise the state in the eyes of citizens, arguing that ‘state‐building’ depends on governments’ engagement in service management. This article reviews the available evidence to identify what types of engagement are feasible and most likely to contribute to service delivery, or not to damage it. It considers the capacity requirements and the risks associated with state inter…
Collaboration in delivering education
Collaboration between governments and non-state providers of basic services is increasingly a focus of attention by international agencies and national policy makers. The intention of such collaboration is to support common goals for achieving universal provision. Drawing on research in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, the contribution shows that collaboration can be successful where NGOs do not depend on limited sources for their funding, and in…
The New Development Management
Engaged or divorced? Cross‐service findings on government relations with non‐state service‐providers
Non‐state provision (NSP) of basic services is an important substitute for government services in most developing countries. The international policy environment favours the idea that service levels could be improved if government and non‐state providers collaborated. This article examines the experience based on studies of basic education and healthcare, water and sanitation in six African and South Asian countries. It finds that, while policy i…

O artigo identifica os líderes, os defensores e os opositores da reforma do setor público. Utiliza-se o conceito "agente-principal" e compara-se a realidade da reforma com uma situação "ideal", onde (a) os cidadãos são os "principais" dos formuladores de políticas públicas, que são seus "agentes", e (b) os formuladores de políticas são os "principais" dos servidores públicos, que são seus "agentes". Reformas em países em desenvolvimento tornam-se…
The Changing Role of Government
Over the last two decades there has been a strong emphasis on reducing the role of government and on reforming traditional public sector bureaucracies. The new conventional view has become that, where possible, services should not be provided directly by government but be contracted out or privatized. Where this is not possible, the predominant view has been that the public sector itself should change by setting up semi-autonomous agencies and by…
Decentralizing Organizational Arrangements for Service Delivery
The key assumption that underlined the study was that organizational and management reforms in the four sectors studied were pushed by the new public management-type reform agenda reviewed in Chapter 2. These reforms tend to ignore the specificities of sectors and the institutional contexts of poor countries often characterized by state dominance, weak market institutions, fiscal crisis, poor incentives and political sensitivities. This chapter w…
The Politics of Service Delivery Reform
This article identifies the leaders, the supporters and the resisters of public service reform. It adopts a principal-agent framework, comparing reality with an 'ideal' situation in which citizens are the principals over political policy-makers as their agents, and policy-makers are the principals over public service officials as their agents. Reform in most developing countries is complicated by an additional set of external actors - internation…

En él se debatieron las nuevas ideas sobre el papel de los centros urbanos en el futuro de la región, los problemas que enfrentarán al asumir este papel y las soluciones que se vislumbran al final del siglo. Este evento se realizó conjuntamente con la Asamblea Anual de Gobernadores del Banco en Barcelona. La vis…

An Explanation of Non-Participation in Planning
One of the crucial tests of the policy of public participation called for in the 1968 Planning Act is whether it can work in areas which do not demand a say in planning. There is a danger that these areas could be jostled even further away from resources and consideration as the more vocal areas which have always demanded attention take full advantage of their rights under the new system. The citizen’s statutory right to information and consultat…

From Poor Law to Positive Discrimination
The principle of positive discrimination in favour of the poor has emerged out of a tangled history of social welfare debate about universalism and selectivity. Positive discrimination, based on the idea of 'inclusive' selectivity, represents something of a hybrid of the two concepts. The 'rediscovery of poverty' and the recognition that universal benefits were not adequate or reaching intended beneficiaries contributed to the general case for sp…
