Adequate funding ensures the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure like roads, bridges, railways, and airports. This infrastructure is essential for the smooth movement of goods and people.
At UCI, our faculty and researchers investigate the complex interactions between transportation systems and economic principles. Several economics faculty have active research programs specialized mainly in transportation, while others find frequent transportation applications for research in such areas as econometrics, public choice, industrial organization, urban economics, and economic geography. This work is both applied and theoretical, and is published both in specialized transportation journals and in general economics journals or journals specialized in related fields of economics. Subtopics in this area include:
- Transportation funding and finance
- Congestion pricing and road user charges
- Land use and transportation integration
- Transportation and economic development
