ITEA School 2016

The School, June 13-15, provided an introduction to academic research in transport economics including recent advances.

The School program consisted of lectures and tutorials delivered by ten faculty comprising a range of the most prominent researchers in transport economics: Richard Arnott (University of California, Riverside, USA), Leonardo Basso (Universidad de Chile, Chile), Maria Börjesson (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden), Jan Brueckner (University of California, Irvine, USA), André de Palma (École Normale Supériuer de Cachan, France), Mogens Fosgerau (Technical University of Denmark), Robin Lindsey (University of British Columbia, Canada), Kenneth Small (University of California, Irvine, USA), Jos Van Ommeren (VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands), Erik Verhoef (VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

USC will be hosting a conference in honor of Daniel McFadden on the occasion of his 80th birthday on July 28 and 29 of 2017. The conference will be held at the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics, where Dan has an appointment.

We are seeking proposals for papers on discrete choice—the area of econometrics for which Dan was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2000. The goal of the conference is to promote intellectual cross-fertilization; thus, we encourage submissions in labor, health, and development economics, industrial organization/technological change, the econometric theory of discrete choice analysis, and transportation/energy/environmental economics.

ITEA invites proposals for a venue and local organizer for its 2018 annual conference and school. Natural candidates are universities, research institutions, or other organizations in the field.
The 2017 conference will be at the University of Barcelona, organized by the Institut d’Economia de Barcelona (IEB). The 2016 conference was held at Universidad de Chile in Santiago, Chile. The previous three venues and local organizers were the Institute of Transport Economics (TØI) in Oslo for 2015, the Toulouse School of Economics for 2014, and Northwestern University in Evanston (USA) for 2013. We are interested in all regions and continents. Read more

Much of the transport economics literature has focused on the welfare economics of transport decision making, leading to many valuable insights on pricing, investment, network design, and regulation of transport services in a second-best world. However, the feeling is that many policy prescriptions of transport economists have been ignored or, at the very best, have been accepted with delays of several decades. Therefore, the profession has recently also taken a less normative view on decision making, emphasizing the role of the political process in shaping transport policy. This Special Issue calls for high quality papers that contribute to our understanding of the political economy of transport decision making. Read more
