Institutional, or sector-by-sector input-output tables have traditionally been used in regional and interregional modelling. This paper examines the origins of this tradition and argues instead, both theoretically and empirically, for the integration of make and use submodels within models of...

JENSEN-BUTLER C. and MADSEN B. (1999) An eclectic methodology for assessment of the regional economic effects of the Femern belt link between Scandinavia and Germany, Reg. Studies 33 , 751-768. The paper describes a theoretically eclectic methodology developed for assessment of the regional...

Zhang J., Madsen B. and Jensen-Butler C. (2007) Regional economic impacts of tourism: the case of Denmark, Regional Studies 41, 839-853. The Danish interregional general equilibrium model LINE is presented together with its tourism submodel. The model is used to analyse the importance of tourism...

The paper examines modifications to Regional Accounts used to construct regional and interregional Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs). It is argued that as the size of the basic areal unit used in studies declines, more traditional accounting approaches are no longer satisfactory. A...

Economic growth and globalisation create traffic growth, leading to congestion, which again increases travel times and costs. Road pricing is an instrument that may efficiently reduce the negative impacts. This volume is a collection of research papers on the use of road pricing. The focus is on...

This book presents leading-edge research in environmental-economic modelling currently being undertaken in Scandinavia. There is a strong economic modelling tradition in Scandinavia and Scandinavian countries are well known for their interest in environmental questions. This combination has...

We identify four different approaches to estimate the regional and local impacts of tourism based on national accounts and economic modelling: The supply approach, the simple demand or commodity approach, the simple satellite account approach involving tourism satellite accounts based on social...

While estimates of models with spatial interaction are very sensitive to the choice of spatial weights, considerable uncertainty surrounds the definition of spatial weights in most studies with cross-section dependence. We show that, in the spatial error model, the spatial weights matrix is only...

During the 1970s and 1980s major relocation of Danish industry took place to both rural and peripheral areas in Denmark, and the causes of this are examined. The paper looks at the role of public policy in this process, both explicitly regional policy and also economic and social policy having...
