Can cars and trucks coexist peacefully on highways? Analyzing the effectiveness of road safety policies in Europe

We examine the impact on the traffic accident rate of the interaction between trucks and cars on Europe’s roads using a panel data set that covers the period 1999–2010. We find that rising motorization rates for trucks lead to higher traffic fatalities, while rising motorization rates for cars do no...
