Modeling Transportation, Land Use and Spatial Economics

This course focuses on modeling the Spatial Economic and Transportation Interaction (SETI) process for the purposes of land use transportation interaction modeling, freight flow forecasting, and economic impact analysis of transportation infrastructure. Topics in the course include the specification, estimation, validation, calibration, and application of spatial interaction/gravity-based models, random utility maximization-based market models, econometric input-output models, spatial computable general equilibrium models, and microsimulation models.
