Abstract

In this paper we explicitly incorporate competitive markets for transportation services into the framework of spatial price equilibrium modeling. These markets can be purely local, purely global, or a combination thereof. We show that the existence of markets for transportation services is equivalent to the existence of congestion in a spatial price equilibrium model. In addition, we give general suggestions regarding the application of these models.
