Modelle für die Raumplanung sind vereinfachte Abbilder der Wirklichkeit zur Beschreibung, Erklärung und planmäßigen Beeinflussung der Raumentwicklung. Vorhandene Stadt- und Regionalmodelle spiegeln die ganze Bandbreite der gegenwärtigen Theorieansätze in den Wirtschafts-, Sozial-,...

The important role of transport infrastructure for regional development is one of the fundamental principles of regional economics. In its most simplified form it implies that regions with better access to locations of input materials and markets will, ceteris paribus, be more productive, more...

The project ILUMASS (Integrated Land-Use Modelling and Transportation System Simulation) aims at embedding a microscopic dynamic simulation model of urban traffic flows into a comprehensive model system incorporating both changes of land use and the resulting changes in transport demand. The...

The objective of the EU research project PROPOLIS (Planning and Research of Policies for Land Use and Transport for Increasing Urban Sustainability) is to assess urban strategies and to demonstrate their long-term effect in European cities. To reach this goal, a comprehensive framework of...

We develop a simple two-region, cobweb-type dynamic equilibrium model to demonstrate the existence of optimal trade barriers. A pure comparative statics analysis of our model suggests that a reduction of trade barriers always enhances welfare. However, taking a dynamic perspective reveals that...

In this study we develop an integrated econometric and CGE modelling framework for transport projects and transport policies at the European level by integrating network, regional economic and macro-economic impacts. The paper presents the formal structure of the integrated econometric and CGE...

The explanatory power of size, value, profitability and investment has been extensively studied for equity markets. Yet, the relevance of these factors in global credit markets is less explored although equities and bonds should be related according to structural credit risk models. We...
