Herbert Mohring is a transportation economist who taught at the University of Minnesota for many years. He received his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1959.[1]
He is widely known for his identification of what was dubbed the Mohring effect of increasing returns in public transportation.[citation needed]
Mohring and Harwitz (1962) also showed that the revenues from the first-best congestion tax exactly cover the construction costs of highways when highways possess constant returns to scale.
