The first course unit and the two computer tutorials will take place on campus (if possible), the remaining units will be online.
This course focuses on methods and applications in the field of regional and transport economics. Among others, the following topics and questions are addressed:
- Empirical methods in regional and transport economics (among others, regression analysis and discrete decision models)
- Calculation of inputs for evaluation procedures (e.g.: how valuable is a 10min reduction in travel time?)
- Application of the methods to current topics: financing of public transport, parking management, sustainable mobility, commuting, autonomous cars, car & ride sharing, e-mobility, etc.
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with empirical methods and applications of regional and transport economics. Therefore, the focus is on an interactive course design with various exercises, group and individual work.
In the event of more than two absences - for whatever reason - no assessment is made.
