Summary

This paper explains how road pricing and toll charge theory appeared and evolved on the basis of contributions from the French engineer-economist school, from Dupuit to Allais, and of Anglo-Saxon theories inspired by Pigou and Vickrey on decongestion tolls and network tools.

Le présent article explique la théorie des péages à partir des apports de l’école des ingénieurs-économistes français, de Dupuit à Allais, et des théories anglo-saxonnes inspirées de Pigou et de Vickrey sur le péage de décongestion et le péage en réseau.
