«Dear colleagues,

This is to announce a combined Conference and Summer School on Transport and Urban Economics that will take place at the Technical University of Denmark, Denmark, on June 29th - July 1st (summer school) and July 2nd and 3rd (conference), both in 2009.

Full details can be found on the following web site:

In brief, the summer school is aimed at an audience of MSc and PhD students in transport and/or urban economics, as well as practitioners, researchers and policy makers who are looking for an update on the latest developments in academic research in these fields. It will cover the following themes at a graduate level:
Modelling urban transport demand, supply, and equilibrium
Discrete choice analysis
Equilibrium, first-best and second-best regulation in urban transport
Congestion, transport pricing and capacity choice
Road pricing and urban structure
Pricing and investment in aviation
Transport and agglomeration
Valuation of intangibles: time, unreliability and schedule delay
Politics of pricing

[...]

The conference will focus on urban transport in all its facets, with special attention for the themes addressed at the summer school. Papers are therefore invited that may cover themes such as:
Pricing in urban transport
Aviation
Public transport
Transport infrastructure investments
Financing infrastructure
Regulation
Public-private partnerships and industrial organization of transport markets
Discrete choice modelling
Urban structure
Agglomeration

Theoretical, applied and policy-oriented papers on the above-mentioned topics, and on other topics in urban transport, are invited.

Participants may choose to attend only the summer school, only the conference, or both.
