The adsorption behavior of NaCl on Al(111) surface was studied by density functional theory (DFT) using implicit or explicit solvation models. Charge and total energy of adsorption systems indicate that the inclusion of an implicit solvent is necessary to construct a situation relevant to...

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...
