The course contains material on three themes.
- The first theme is concerned with how transport affects businesses, and transport’s place in regional growth theories. This includes the size and nature of the impacts that transport infrastructure has on the economy.
- The second theme gives an introduction to regional economy modelling methods including reduced form models and input-output models. It touches on land use transport interaction models and computable general equilibrium.
- The third theme brings together the two earlier parts and examines how economy impacts can be incorporated into appraisal both within either a cost benefit analysis paradigm or in a GVA prioritisation approach.
