Społeczne koszty krańcowe jako instrument internalizacji kosztów zewnętrznych i realizacji celów zrównoważonej mobilności
Social marginal costs pricing as an instrument of transport external costs internalisation and realization of the objectives of sustainable mobility

Summary/Abstract: The research subject is focusing on the assessment of the possibilities of carrying out the strategy of sustainable transport development based on the conception of full transport external costs internalization. Such an idea is based on a category of social marginal costs which underlay efficient pricing models in transport. The main objective is to determine the existing limits and barriers to the wider use of marginal costs pricing in transport as well as to set criteria for the proper choice of the cost formula from the macro and microeconomic point of view. To meet the research goals, qualitative research methods, supported by widely perceived methods of economic analyses have been used. The research results indicate that: 1) both short and long run social marginal costs are the best instrument for transport external costs internalization, 2) the social marginal cost pricing in transport sector needs to be used in stages with an aim to overcome the existing barriers in the regulatory sphere.
