Abstract. A variety of models have been applied to assess the economic losses disasters, which most common ones are input–output (IO) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. In addition, an increasing number scholars developed hybrid approaches: one that combines both or either them in combination with noneconomic methods. While IO CGE widely used, they mainly compared on theoretical grounds. Few studies disaster impacts different model types a systematic way for same geographical...
Over the past few years much effort has been made in modelling economic losses resulting from critical infrastructure failure. It appeared that including resilience measures approach, which may mute considerably, is a challenging task. At same time it necessary because prevents modeller generating overestimates. This study presents two directions to improve of (economic) for state-of-the art with respect dynamic inoperability input–output taken as starting point. Firstly, new model allows...
Resulting from the 21st UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris 2015, European Union’s (EU) current climate and energy objective is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% below 1990 levels 2030, transportation must play a vital role achieving this target. Decarbonization therefore one of main challenges for freight transport sector Europe. Several measures are suggested contribute goal, including clean vehicle technologies, optimising networks modal shift. This paper focuses...

Abstract The Netherlands seems to exhibit the unique conditions that allow cycling on country level instead of only city level. Moreover, national transit system seemingly provides one crucial condition: citizens use train and systems in an integrated manner, with combined bicycle-train transport recently demonstrating strong growth. Relatively little is known about users, i.e. people who combine bicycle a single trip. In this paper, we investigate their profiles travel choices, terms modes...

Assessing the ability of critical infrastructures to overcome shocks and optimizing their preparedness for events is a key factor in reducing damage, ensuring resilience, mitigating monetary losses. When considering problem broad sense, assessment technical dependencies among engineered systems can be supported by analysis economical relationships. A tool accomplish this objective exploit input-output approach proposed Wassily Leontief quantitative relationships different branches an...
AbstractIt is essential that transport infrastructures are protected against events which cause their failure. At an optimal level of protection, the sum protection costs and expected residual damages following from disruptions will be minimized. In most cases however, this not achieved because infrastructure susceptible to various market government failures. This brings us question who (a private or public actor) should do how much (the intervention). addressed in present paper.The starting...
Abstract Modal shift in freight transport entails moving from road to rail, inland waterways, and short sea shipping. In current Dutch European policy, modal is foreseen play an important role mitigate external effects of transport. Policy efforts on are legitimate because the size costs considerable. But can policies also be effective? other words, policy result a decrease infrastructure due transport? Our research approach falls apart into three steps. first step we analyse transported...
According to economic theory, imbalances in trade flows affect transport prices because (some) carriers have return without cargo from the low demand region high region. Therefore, direction exceed those direction. This implies that costs, and therefore are fundamentally endogenous with respect imbalances. We study this effect using for inland waterway market north-west Europe. find substantial effects on prices. estimate a one standard deviation increase imbalance A B decreases by about 8 percent.
