Transportation-Economy Nexus: The influence of economic crises

Kurzfassung

The dynamic relationship between macroeconomic conditions and transportation demand, as well as car ownership, is a crucial yet often under-represented aspect of some models. However, understanding the influence of (macro-) economic circumstances on transportation demand, alongside the role of behavioral changes in mobility patterns, is imperative for achieving reliable model outcomes. The existing research gap arises from the limited consideration of mode choice behavior in passenger transportation models. Further, most macroeconomic models typically employed for model coupling rely on the computable general equilibrium approach. Consequently, there is a need for the wider exploration of the possibility space of transport sector scenarios, necessitating a broader scope of methodologies.
