“…At the strategic planning level, cohesion motivations frequently justify the construction of high-speed rail (HSR) projects (Chen and Hall, 2011;Garmendia et al, 2011;Gutierrez et al, 2010Gutierrez et al, , 2011Lopez et al, 2008). These projects -with the transEuropean networks (TEN) as a prime example -are aimed at reducing the disadvantages supposedly triggered by poor accessibility in peripheral and/or landlocked locations (Brocker et al, 2010;Gutierrez et al, 2011;Lopez et al, 2008 In transport-related studies, cohesion impacts refer to the changes elicited by a new infrastructure on the distribution of a given variable -frequently the accessibility to certain destinations. A positive effect appears if this distribution becomes more balanced; the opposite holds if the new infrastructure results in a more polarized distribution, therefore increasing disparities (Lopez et al, 2008;Ortega et al, 2012;Ribeiro et al, 2010).…”

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords:High-speed rail (HSR) MAUP Zoning systems Accessibility indicators Territorial cohesion effects Large-scale transport infrastructure projects such as high-speed rail (HSR) produce significant effects on the spatial distribution of accessibility. These effects, commonly known as territorial cohesion effects, are receiving increasing attention in the research literature. However, there is little empirical research into the sensitivity of these cohesion results to methodological issues such as the definition of the limits of the study area or the zoning system. In a previous paper (Ortega et al., 2012), we investigated the influence of scale issues, comparing the cohesion results obtained at four different planning levels. This paper makes an additional contribution to our research with the investigation of the influence of zoning issues. We analyze the extent to which changes in the size of the units of analysis influence the measurement of spatial inequalities. The methodology is tested by application to the Galician (north-western) HSR corridor, with a length of nearly 670 km, included in the Spanish PEIT (Strategic Transport and Infrastructure Plan) 2005-2020. We calculated the accessibility indicators for the Galician HSR corridor and assessed their corresponding territorial distribution. We used five alternative zoning systems depending on the method of data representation used (vector or raster), and the level of detail (cartographic accuracy or cell size). Our results suggest that the choice between a vector-based and raster-based system has important implications. The vector system produces a higher mean accessibility value and a more polarized accessibility distribution than raster systems. The increased pixel size of raster-based systems tends to give rise to higher mean accessibility values and a more balanced accessibility distribution. Our findings strongly encourage spatial analysts to acknowledge that the results of their analyses may vary widely according to the definition of the units of analysis.

“…The inclusion of consistent capital market and the flexibility in terms of choice of asset ownership scheme in particular suggest the use of the model to study regional investment subsidies. Furthermore, the model can be connected to a transport network model, as in Bröcker et al (2010), to study the dynamic effects of transport infrastructure projects.…”

“…Adjustment of capital stocks to shocks is smoothed by assuming the existence of adjustment costs for the capital stock. The specification of the production and household sectors as well as of the goods market is close to an earlier static model (Bröcker, 1998) which has been widely applied under the brand name CGEurope in transport policy evaluation (Korzhenevych and Bröcker (2009) ;Bröcker et al (2010)). Like in the earlier model, we assume monopolistic competition in Dixit-Stiglitz style in the "modern sector".…”

This paper sets up a multiregional dynamic framework by combining the optimal savings model with investment adjustment costs and the spatially disaggregated model with Dixit-Stiglitz structure in the modern sector. Because of increasing product diversity on the dynamic equilibrium path, the model belongs to the category of semi-endogenous growth models. The distinction of goods, factors, firms, and households by location, and the incorporation of trade costs in the model allow to study a variety of issues in regional and transport economics. We describe the model calibration and a taylor-made solution algorithm. The functionality is demonstrated using two illustrative examples. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may

“…The complexity of such object is determined by large variability of its components: different types of transport and objects of social, public, commercial, recreational infrastructures. That's why, the development of the regulatory support allowing to applicate the most rational and effective design solutions becomes one of the most important tasks that define the economic performance of the project needed both for private investors and city authorities [4,5].…”

Abstract. The article involves the results of the research in the field of the initial phase in the project of the object lifecycle for urban public transportation transit hubs (TTH). The main purpose is to provide definition and justification of area parameters for spatial solution of a hub with consideration of its construction viability and sustainability of urban development. In the article there are presented the results of analytical studies of the data available in the approved Planning documentation for TTH objects listed in the short-term program of TTH construction in Moscow. The point of interest was to obtain correlations between the total area of TTH area, areas of commercial and technological use and passenger traffic value in order to define territory balance providing request from city authorities and private investors for construction project management. Also, there is presented the theoretical model as an evaluation guide that allows evaluating not only the demand of a city and its population in the development of TTH territory but also and especially the requirements for placing commercial areas inside TTH.
