    Study Economics — specialize in Transport Economics

     

    The Institute of Transport Economics Münster offers the specialization in Transport Economics within the Economics degree programme. Students interested in mobility, transport policy, infrastructure, regulation and the economic analysis of transport markets will find the right foundation in the study of Economics. A new video gives prospective students an insight into the Bachelor’s programme in Economics at the University of Münster. From the IVM’s perspective, it is especially worth watching: those who wish to specialize in Transportation Science in Münster begin by choosing Economics as their field of study.

    TR Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Space Wars

     

        Urban street space is scarce and must be shared by different modes of transport. In this study, Gernot Sieg and Jan Wessel analyse how street space should be allocated between cars, buses, bicycles, and parking in order to maximise the economic efficiency of the transport system. To this end, they develop an economic model of travel mode choice that accounts for how travel times, prices, and congestion influence travellers’ decisions. Applying the model to transport data from Berlin and New York City, the simulations show that reallocating street space away from cars towards buses and especially bicycles can substantially increase the efficiency of urban transport systems. The optimal extent of such reallocations differs between cities and is more pronounced in Berlin than in New York. Overall, the results suggest that reallocating street space can improve not only environmental outcomes, but also economic efficiency in urban transport.   Access the full article in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives.
