This paper presents a recursive spatial equilibrium model for urban activity location and travel choices in large city regions that anticipate major development or restructuring. In the model, producer and consumer choices that adjust quickly to stimuli reach temporary equilibria subject to...

As a stark contrast to the diminishing media profile of the UN climate change talks, the global manufacturers appear to have become more carbon aware than ever before. Carbon audits have been carried out within many corporations to assess the carbon intensity of production processes. This is...

This paper combines SCENES, an EU transport model with E3ME, an EU macroeconometric model. Social Marginal Cost Pricing (SMCP) and fuel tax increases were combined with a concentrated TEN-T programme. Large externalities mean an SMCP with very high revenues; if recycled through reductions in...

Application of a new spatial computable general equilibrium model for assessing strategic transport and land use development options in London and surrounding regions By Jie Zhu, Ying Jin and Marcial Echenique The Martin Centre, University of Cambridge, UK JEL Classification: C68, F12, F16,...

The paper presents a new extension to the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) in the assessment of land use, transport and utility infrastructure development options from the perspective of a UK region. A geographically detailed model is required to analyse spatially heterogeneous impacts of land...

Title: Impacts of road pricing upon travel demand in an integral city region: a case study of London and its surrounding regions Updated abstract: This paper aims to study ways in which the impacts of road pricing upon travel demand can be examined in the wider city region, with a view to inform...

In modelling spatial economic interactions such as embodied in the movements of people and goods, the study area is usually subdivided into geographic units, i.e. zones, to represent the origin, destination and any stop-over locations. In most cases, model precision tends to improve as the study...
