Abstract Transport and land use models play an important role in infrastructure investment decisions in Australia and New Zealand. The current conventional project evaluations rely on partial equilibrium (PE) models that ignore cross-market spillovers and geographic sorting, land-use transport interaction (LUTI) models lack strict welfare-theoretic foundations and risk double-counting benefits. Concurrently, state-of-the-art Quantitative Spatial Models …

While the scheme’s economic objectives are clear, its social implications, particularly on lower socioeconomic communities, warrant closer examination. Two weeks ago, I wrote a LinkedIn post highlighting areas where individuals with lower socioeconomic status will face higher travel costs due to …
