| Zusammenfassung: | The research project links together two regional models for Austria: a multiregional econometric input-output model at district level (MultiREG-D) and a multiregional transport and land use model (MARS). The combined model platform allows, on the one hand, for economic activities to influence transport flows and changes in land use patterns and, on the other, for changes in the transportation network and corresponding land use patterns to influence economic activities. Given such a model environment, various research questions can be addressed empirically, e.g., on the expected trends concerning spatial concentration, spatial dispersion or on the spatial, economic and environmental impacts of different policy instruments, such as road pricing, transport capacity changes, etc.
