Kenneth
A. Small, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of California at
Irvine, specializes in urban, transportation, and environmental economics. Recent research topics include urban highway
congestion, measurement of value of time and reliability, effects of fuel
efficiency standards, public transit pricing, and fuel taxes. In 2014 he stepped
down as founding President of the International Transportation Economics
Association, followed by four years on its Executive Committee. He has served
on the editorial boards of eight journals, including Economics of
Transportation where he was a founding board member and where he
continues currently. He previously spent four years as Associate Editor of Transportation Research Part
B–Methodological, and five years
as North American Co-Editor of Urban Studies. He has served
on several study committees of the National
Research Council, examining among other things cost-benefit analysis and
equity in transportation finance. His book Urban Transportation Economics,
updated as The Economics of Urban Transportation in 2007 (with Eric
Verhoef) and again in 2024 (with Verhoef and Robin Lindsey), became a widely
cited reference in the field. He was honored in 1999 with the Distinguished Member
Award by the Transport & Public Utilities Group, American Economic
Association; and in 2004 with the Distinguished Transportation Research Award by the
Transportation Research Forum. He is the recipient of the Faculty Achievement
award at UC-Irvine in 2007, and is a Fellow of Regional Science Association
International. Professor Small has advised many public and
private groups including the Canadian Royal Commission on National Passenger
Transportation, the European Union, the South Coast Air Quality Management
District, the World Bank, the California Air Resources Board, the US
Environmental Protection Agency, and the California High Speed Rail
Authority. At
