Prescription for treating urban diseases (治理大城市病的药方)

美国康奈尔大学中国经济研究所历时2年研究开出 治理大城市病的药方 2017-06-16 09:53:59       来源:海外网 (相关学术文章/related academic paper: The Marginal Cost of Traffic Congestion and Road Pricing: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Beijing) 交通拥堵,是世界各大城市尤其是中等收入国家的“城市病”。近年来,北京市政府多管齐下,实行包括“摇号购车”、“尾号限行”等降低小汽车出行强度、提高交通供给能力、挖掘交通设施潜能、优化职住平衡的措施,治理交通拥堵“城市病”,取得了一定效果。 “国际经验告诉我们,单纯依赖供给侧或者行政手段很难有效的解决拥堵问题。治理拥堵需要一个系统的方法包括城市规划和交通技术的改善以及消费者观念上的转变,但核心应该是道路使用付费制度,即拥堵费制度。”美国康奈尔大学中国经济研究所主任李善军建议,为了进一步解决交通堵塞这个世界性难题,北京应改在大规模改善公共交通之后,开始征收拥堵费。 “征收拥堵费,是一种被经济学家们公认的社会最优的政策调控方式。”李善军介绍,该对策是诺贝尔经济学奖获得者威廉•维克里在1959年为美国纽约市交通厅做解决拥堵问题的咨询报告中首先提出的。其经济学原理在于,通过征收拥堵费使扭曲的交通资源价格回归正常。“我们应该转变观念,把道路作为资源或生产投入来看待。如果我们免费提供一个好的资源或生产投入,对这一资源的需求就会过大。拥堵和污染从根本上讲都是由于资源,比如道路和清洁空气定价不合理导致的”。 […]
