El presente artículo estudia la agregación de los costes y beneficios que recaen sobre las generaciones futuras mediante una ponderación que refleje las preferencias sociales al respecto. Se muestra que la ponderación intergeneracional social y la individual divergen si se considera una...

El agua es un factor productivo imprescindible para el desarrollo de la actividad de los establecimientos hoteleros. El consumo por persona alojada en estos establecimientos suele ser elevado, ya que llega a superar hasta en tres veces el consumo medio de la población que reside en su propia...

We provide evidence that motorists respond to short-run fluctuations in fuel prices at the gas pump and not on the road. Employing variants of censored panel regression to control for unobserved heterogeneity and censoring of the dependent variable, we find that the fuel price has a large and...

In a simple growth model we explore the current and future growth effects of the regional population structure. Regional GDP growth in 227 regions within six countries in central Europe is explored as how they depend on the young and old dependency ratio. The young dependency ratio (YDR) is...

We introduce a regression-based gravity model for commodity flows between 35 regions in Austria. We incorporate information regarding the highway network into the spatial connectivity structure of the spatial autoregressive econometric model. We find that our approach produces improved model fit...

In this paper we describe the EAR (regional economic accessibility) model to investigate the impact of the improvement of railroad infrastructure on regional GDP, population and firms growth in 99 Austrian regions. We evaluate the impact of four potential railroad infrastructure investment...

Transportation accounts for a substantial share of CO2 emissions, and decarbonizing transport will be necessary to limit global warming to below 2êC. Due to persistent reliance on fossil fuels, it is posited that transport is more difficult to decarbonize than other sectors. We test this...

The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...

Die bundesdeutsche Logistikbranche boomt und ist ein echter "Jobmotor". Die Logistik ist nicht nur einer der größten Wirtschaftsbranchen in Deutschland und wird als Motor für Wachstum und Innovation gesehen. Sie führt damit auch zur Schaffung neuer, zukunftsfähiger Arbeitsplätze. Im Jahre...

In this paper we analyze the impact of service station availability on the demand for alternative-fuel vehicles and the consumers' willingness to pay for an enlarged fueling infrastructure. We examine a stated preferences choice experiment conducted as a CAPI survey with about 600 interviews of...
