User Charges as Redistributive Devices
Journal of Public Economic Theory, 1999In this model, a mix of public and private provision of private goods arises naturally in the economy. We characterize the social optimum in the presence of a linear tax/public expenditure system and show how a user charge can be welfare‐ or Pareto‐improving, when the users are the poor.

Journal of Navigation, 2004
The last few years have seen a rapid growth of applications based on positioning information provided by satellite positioning systems. In transport management and control, satellite positioning has proven to be the most promising means for spatial location data collection. With the GPS modernisation programme well underway, and the recent developments

The Economic Journal, 1988
Road user charges for commercial vehicles in Britain are intended to cover their fair share of average road costs. This paper calculates the efficient road user cha rge and compares it with the allocated cost. Theory suggests that the efficient road damage charge is only 40 percent of total damage cost s, but that congestion costs may more than ...

User charges and bureaucratic inefficiency
Atlantic Economic Journal, 1998This paper develops the theoretical reasons why user charge finance leads to improved government efficiency and reduced expenditures. It is argued that user charges constrain bureaucratic behavior, thus forcing the bureau to operate closer to the true demand curve for the service.

USER CHARGES FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES
Australian Journal on Ageing, 1987AbstractUser charges have been suggested as a means of limiting demand for subsidised community services, yet the practicalities and effectiveness of this strategy remain largely unknown. Discussion of user charges has also been stimulated recently with the development of Regional Geriatric Assessment Teams and the restructuring of community services ...

User Charges in International Aviation
American Journal of International Law, 1979The charges that air carriers pay for the use of airports and airways to provide international air service have become a source of recurrent and heated controversy between governments. This controversy largely stems from the rapid rise in user charges over the last decade, but it has been fed by the lack of uniformity practiced by some countries in ...

Universal health coverage and user charges
Health Economics, Policy and Law, 2013AbstractThere has been an explosion of interest in the concept of ‘universal health coverage’, fuelled by publication of the World Health Report 2010. This paper argues that the system of user charges for health services is a fundamental determinant of levels of coverage. A charge can lead to a loss of utility in two ways.
