Abstract:

Tolls are being considered increasingly as means for financing roads and bridges. At present, there is relatively little research regarding the impacts of tariffs on infrastructure usage. To partially address this gap in the literature, monthly international bridge traffic from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to El Paso, Texas, are analyzed using ARIMA transfer functions. Toll rate, currency market, and business cycle fluctuations are included in the econometric analysis.
