INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON INTEGRATION OF SPATIAL COMPUTABLE GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM AND TRANSPORT MODELLING – Economic modeling and application for urban policy –

1 Introduction

While so far in transport modelling the assumptions concerning product markets and labor markets have been rudimentary, also in economic geography models connection to the transport system models is done with little detail. Integrating economic geography models with transportation models still requires progress in
– The understanding of behavioral principles of the two subsystems:
– Mathematical modelling of joint passenger/freight systems,
– Estimation approaches for combined models
– Applications at global, national, regional and urban scale.
– Economic evaluations of transport projects in Europe and Asia.

The contributors will present recent development of this fields and further discussion. Different modelling issues will be introduced by speakers (origin of the problem, state of the art, solution paths, work needed) and discussed in the seminar.
