Book Description
This thesis builds upon Jin and Kockelman’s (2004) work, by extending a Random Utility Based Multiregional Input Output (RUBMRIO) model and using it to evaluate Texas trade, production, travel, and location patterns, under a variety of scenarios, including the construction of the Trans-Texas Corridor system. Three main enhancements are accomplished: incorporation of domestic demands from other U.S. states (to help drive the model); generation of personal and freight vehicle trips based on economic trade flows (and loading of these trips onto a congestible network); and the explicit consideration of labor and floorspace markets (with price response). The incorporation of domestic demands, based on Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) data (BEA 1997), improves the representation of the sate’s economy, bringing model predictions of total production to within 5% of CFS values (across key industry sectors). Freight trips are generated using factors derived from CFS and Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS) data. These convert inter-county monetary trade flows to freight tons, and tons to trucks. Modeling results indicate that Chemical and Allied Products, Mining, and Manufacturing sectors generate most of the state’s truck trips, following the same trends noted in the VIUS data. Work trips (a result of the labor market equilibration procedure) and shop trips (obtained assuming average expenditures per household shop trip) exhibit adequate distribution patterns. The model predicts 73% of commute trips to be intra-county (the same percentage as in the 2000 Census) and 95% of shop trips to be intra-county, which is consistent with the Austin Travel Survey data. The incorporation of markets for land and labor, as key factors of production, is based on supply-demand equilibration principles, via appropriate wages and rent calculations. At this stage, supply assumptions for labor and floorspace rely on a simplified approach, where floorspace supply is considered fixed and labor supply is determined by local average wage and cost of living. Results suggest that the new approach captures many of the relationships that define production and population patterns. More accurate estimates can be expected if the corresponding supply models are refined appropriately. As expected, the model is sensitive to variations in final demands and production technologies. Application results highlight the importance of the Agriculture, Mining and Fabricated Metal Products sectors for the state’s economy, as well as the state’s relative dependence on demands of nearby states - such as Florida, Georgia and Mississippi - or states that exert greater demands - such as Maryland or New York. Enhancements in production technologies are predicted to reduce the need for intermediate trading, and have a larger positive impact if applied in appropriate sectors - such as Industrial Machinery and Equipment or Electronic and Electric Equipment - and counties – Northwest counties in particular. Several simulations involving incorporation of the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) within Texas’ highway and railway networks suggest that the model responds appropriately to changes in the transportation system. It predicts a slight redistribution of economic activities, increasing the supremacy of counties located closer to export zones, while smoothing production patterns among the others. It also suggests a greater diversification of economic activity/production and moderate changes in the distribution of wages, floorspace rents and population, following the production trends. The simulation indicates more noticeable effects in counties traversed by the TTC, especially in those previously inadequately connected to the state’s transportation network. It also suggests that the TTC will reduce traffic volumes on existing highways by 8% and the state’s (dollar-weighted) average highway travel distances by 30%. The extensions and applications of the RUBMRIO model set a functional framework for the analysis of spatial economic interactions, accounting for the transportation system performance, and the distribution and availability of factors of production. The model is useful as a tool for the qualitative evaluation of policy impacts, and provides a flexible starting point for the incorporation of further realistic assumptions, that could eventually lead to a more powerful quantitative impact analysis model

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Freight Transport Modelling is a unique new reference book that provides insight into the state-of-the-art of freight modelling. Focusing on models used to support public transport policy analysis, Freight Transport Modelling systematically introduces the latest freight transport modelling approaches and describes the main methods and techniques used to arrive at operational models. As freight transport has grown exponentially in recent decades, policymakers now need to include freight flows in quantitative evaluations of transport systems. Whereas early freight modelling practice was inspired by passenger transport models, by now it has developed its separate stream of methods and techniques inspired by disciplines such as economic geography and supply chain management. Besides summarizing the latest achievements in fundamental research, this book describes the state of practice and advises practitioners on how to cope with typical challenges such as limitations in data availability. Uniquely focused book exploring the key issues and logistics of freight transport modelling Highlights the latest approaches and describes the main methods and techniques used to arrive at operational models Summarizes fundamental research into freight transport modeling, as well as current practices and advice for practitioners facing day-to-day challenges

Multiregional Input — Output Models in Long-Run Simulation
Author: N. Toyomane
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400927827
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This monograph is about the multi regional input-output model used in long-run simulation. The input-output technique was originally developed for spaceless, short-term analysis of a national economy. However, its high potential as an analytical tool has resulted in an expansion of its application in various directions. Thus, we now have the inter- and mul tiregional input-output model, in which a nation is broken down into a number of interacting regions, and some applications dealing with long-range projections of input-output systems. This study attempts to integrate those two directions within the framework of interregional simulation modeling. A major problem with the multiregional input-output model for long-run simulation is how to update the technical and trade coefficients in the model. This study focuses on the trade coefficient updating problem, and a solution is presented in which a trade coefficient model is coupled with the price model built into the input-output system. When I began this project, the main problem facing me was not purely theoretical but a very practical one: how to design an interregional model for Indonesia. Indonesia is a country characterized by its quite uneven population distribution over the archipelago. My interest was in the formation of its settlement policy, and the use of modeling to assist in this process. This original intention may be evident in various parts of the text.
