This paper uses a spatial model to analyse first- and second-best policies, impacts of privatization and vertical disintegration of a congestible highway with elastic demand. The paper also uses simulation methods to analyse the welfare cost of a uniform-toll constraint. Results show, inter alia, that the social optimum requires the marginal cost of highway extension to be equal to the net consumer benefit at the boundary, while in the second-best case the aggregate user cost must be measured in terms of the shadow price. In turn, a profit-maximizing firm equates the marginal extension cost to the markup revenue at the boundary.
