Transportation Economics

The program of study and research in Transportation Economics leads to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Economics with a Concentration in Transportation Economics. This program is an option within the regular Ph.D. program offered by the Department of Economics, allowing students to substitute some additional transportation-related courses for a portion of their requirements in advanced micro- and macro-economic theory. Students also take advantage of Irvine's unusually large and strong concentration of faculty in transportation economics within the economics department.

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.

The faculty are frequently augmented by post-doctoral researchers who add richness to the backgrounds and experience accessible to students through interactions in a friendly, collegial atmosphere. Recently we have had post-doctoral researchers with degrees from University of Pennsylvania and University of Minnesota. We have also benefitted from frequent faculty visitors with specializations in transportation economics.

The department is able to provide financial support to a number of students through research grants and a fellowship program especially targeted to transportation economics. These supplement the regular departmental sources of support including Chancellor and Regents Fellowships and a large number of teaching assistantships. Recently graduate students have been employed on grants to study the demand for electric vehicles, effects of the reliability of the transportation system on travel behavior, traveler response to the first congestion pricing experiment in the United States (which is here in Orange County), market effects of natural gas pipeline deregulation, effectiveness of inspection and maintenance programs on vehicle emissions, firm-strategic implications of transit privatization, and automobile ownership and use.

Students receive a mix of theoretical, empirical, and public-policy training suitable for academic, public-sector, and private-sector settings. Recent Ph.D. graduates and post-doctoral scholars have taken positions at universities, research institutes, consulting firms, and public agencies.

One of the program's popular features is an informal lunchtime discussion series that brings together faculty and graduate students from economics, political science, urban planning, and civil engineering to discuss papers drawn from the recent literature in applied transportation economics.

In addition to the two-quarter graduate sequence in transportation economics, many students in transportation choose additional courses among the department's offerings in the closely related fields of urban economics, industrial organization, and discrete choice econometrics, as well as related courses offered by other departments in urban planning and civil engineering. The following list includes some of the most useful courses:

Econ 210A-B Microeconomic Theory I, II
Econ 220A-B-C-D Statistics and Econometrics I, II, III, IV
Econ 223A Discrete Choice Econometrics
Econ 241A-B Industrial Organization I, II
Econ 281A-B Urban Economics I, II
Econ 282A-B Transportation Economics I, II
Econ 283A Urban and Transportation Policy
Econ 285A-B-C Colloquium for Transportation Science

Graduate Programs in Transportation

Mobility and transportation are at the dawn of the most profound changes with an unprecedented combination of new technologies (autonomy, electrification, computation, and AI) meeting new and evolving priorities and objectives (decarbonization, public health, and social justice). And the time frame for these changes—decarbonization in particular—is short in a system with massive amounts of fixed, long-life assets and entrenched behaviors and cultures.

MIT provides students with a broad range of opportunities for transportation-related education to prepare them to address today’s pressing transportation challenges. Housed under MIT’s Mobility Initiative , the transportation program offers courses and classes that span the School of Engineering, the Sloan School of Management, the School of Architecture and Planning, and the Schwarzman College of Computing, with many activities covering interdisciplinary topics that prepare students for future industry, government, or academic careers.

A variety of graduate degrees are available to students interested in transportation studies and research, including the interdepartmental master of science program (MST) and doctoral program in transportation (PhD in Transportation), described below, and the Master of Engineering in Logistics , described under Supply Chain Management. The MST and PhD in Transportation degrees are managed by MIT’s Mobility Initiative and students are registered in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering or the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. The interdepartmental structure of these two programs allows students flexibility in developing individual programs of study that are cross-disciplinary and engage students in research with faculty supervisors across many departments.

Opportunities are also available for students to obtain dual master's degrees. Students who wish to pursue this option must follow the regular admissions procedure to be admitted to each degree program. Common dual degree pairings include the Master of Science in Transportation with:

Master in City Planning
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Master of Science in Operations Research
Master of Science in Technology and Policy

Information on requirements for dual degrees can be found in the section on General Degree Requirements for graduate education.

Master of Science in Transportation

The Master of Science in Transportation (MST) program is based on the premise that a common set of analytical approaches and methodologies can be applied to solve a range of transportation problems. The MST provides a common basis for addressing a wide range of problems while allowing enough flexibility to accommodate students with diverse backgrounds and interests.

Students must complete a program of coursework, plus a research-based master's thesis on a topic of their choosing approved by their thesis supervisor. Coursework includes two required core subjects, at least three additional transportation or related subjects comprising an individually designed program, one policy/technology subject, and a computer programming subject.

Generally, the three subjects chosen for the individually designed program relate to an area of specialization, although this is not required. Common areas of specialization include air transportation, data sciences for transportation, urban transportation, planning methods, logistics, and policy. Some students use the individually designed program to deepen their understanding of a selected area of interest, while others may choose to emphasize breadth rather than depth in their studies. At least one of the selected subjects should address policy or technology. At least two of the designated subjects should be clearly focused on transportation, while the third can be in a field that supports transportation, for example, a subject covering methods used in transportation drawn from fields such as economics, computer science, operations research, political science, or management.

The MST degree usually takes up to two years to complete.

For more information, see the full Master of Science in Transportation program description .

An undergraduate degree in engineering is not necessary for admission to the Master of Science in Transportation program, but applicants are expected to have an aptitude for analytical thinking. Backgrounds in the physical or social sciences, urban planning, management, and many other disciplines are equally appropriate foundations for the program.

The only specific subjects required for admission are two subjects in calculus, one in economics, and one in probability. One or more of these subjects may be completed simultaneously with application to the program, and acceptance is then conditional on satisfactory completion of these prerequisites. Applicants should have roughly the equivalent of the following MIT subjects:

Students without an equivalent microeconomics course can be admitted but will have to complete 14.01 Principles of Microeconomics , preferably during their first year in the degree.

Applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit an English Language Exam. Two exams are accepted: the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Applicants to the Master of Science in Transportation degree program should achieve a score of at least 100 on the TOEFL iBT or 7.5 on the IELTS.

Financial Support

Funding for MST students is usually offered to about 90% of each incoming class. A limited number of fellowships are offered each year, but more often funding takes the form of a research assistantship (RA). A student with RA funding typically works with a faculty member on a research project for 10–20 hours per week. The research that is conducted on that project generally becomes the topic of the student's thesis. RAs are awarded as either a half or full appointment. An award of a full RA (about 20 hours of work per week) covers the student's tuition for the academic year and provides a monthly stipend to cover living expenses. A half RA (approximately 10 hours of work per week) covers half of the student's tuition for the academic year and provides half of the regular monthly stipend.

Students who are not awarded financial aid at the time of admission may seek funding through other sources.

Doctor of Philosophy in Transportation

The interdisciplinary doctoral program in transportation provides a structured and direct follow-on doctoral program for students enrolled in the Master of Science in Transportation or other transportation-related master’s degree programs offered at MIT or elsewhere. Outstanding applicants without a master's degree can also be considered for admission to the doctoral program. The interdisciplinary structure allows students great flexibility in developing individual programs of study that cross both disciplinary and departmental lines. The program is administered by the Transportation Education Committee, which is responsible for admissions, establishment and oversight of program requirements, and conduct of the general examination and dissertation defense.

The interdisciplinary doctoral program in transportation requires completion of at least 120 units of coursework in a program of study proposed by the student, the successful completion of a general examination consisting of both written and oral components, and the submission and defense of an acceptable dissertation. MIT graduate-level subjects taken to fulfill the requirements of the MST degree may be included in the doctoral program.

Students are required to take classes in Transportation Systems Analysis and select two subjects from one of the following five areas of focus — Demand, Performance and Optimization, Planning and Policy, Networks, or Logistics — to build the core knowledge.

Examples of coursework for each of the five areas include:

Graduates of the interdisciplinary doctoral program receive a PhD in Transportation, although students may petition for other MIT graduate fields of study as their degree designation, subject to approval by the T ransportation Education Committee .

Transportation Economics and Finance

We can define transportation infrastructure to comprise all the physical objects that provide mobility: including everything from trains, highways, and ports to sneakers, trails, and scooters. The amount and type of available infrastructure that is available to urban travelers depends very much on who is willing to pay for it and how.

Upon completion of this course, you will be prepared to evaluate alternative methods of funding the construction, purchase, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure in terms of feasibility and fairness. You will also be prepared to use financing and pricing as tools to shape the development of transportation networks and to facilitate sustainable travel.

Note: the instructor will offer online live course presentations on 08/26, and/or 08/27. To access the detailed schedule and Zoom links, please visit the Live Course Presentations Website .

Please note this course will meet online through 9/15.

Concurrent Master of City Planning/Master of Science

The Concurrent Master of City Planing/Master of Science (link is external) degree program with the Program in Transportation Engineering (link is external) within CEE enables students interested in transportation planning to acquire the tools for rigorously approaching transportation-engineering problems. CEE's approach to transportation is technical and analytical, while the Deparment of City and Regional Planning focuses on policy issues, particularly as related to the influence of transportation on the political, environmental, and social fabric of communities. In this way, the concurrent degree program enables those interested in the field to bridge the "process" and "policy" components of transportation studies in a complementary and reinforcing manner.

The concurrent degree program allows the qualified student to obtain both the Master of City Planning (M.C.P.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees in about 2-1/2 years. Students must be admitted to each department individually. Because this is a concurrent degree program, exceptionally well-qualified persons may apply to both programs simultaneously. Most students, however, apply to one program during their first year in the other program.

Master of City Planning/PhD

Since its founding in 1948, the Department of City and Regional Planning (DCRP) has grown into one of the largest and most respected graduate city and regional planning programs in the United States.

The MCP is a two-year nationally accredited professional-degree program. We aim to provide our students with:

Transport Economics and Policy

Cars driving through bridge tull station

We are growing research group at Linköping University. The core of our research is economic analysis of transport systems, usually applied on or motivated by transport policy issues related to the climate, welfare, equity, gender equality and the labour market.

A well-functioning transportation system is important for the modern society. Workers, suppliers, jobs, services, and other activities depend on high accessibility of transport system. It is also essential for the welfare of all citizens and their everyday lives.

Nevertheless, the transport sector also generates negative external effects such as emissions, accidents, and noise. Additionally, huge public resources are spent to develop, run, and maintain the transport sector.

Public decisions about transport investments, maintenance, operations, fuel taxes, transit fares, congestion charges, airport charges, waterway and port charges and railway track access charges, emission standards and safety regulations have a significant influence on the transportation system. Still, the public resources allocated to the transportation system is dwarfed by the enormous resources of time and money spent on transportation by citizens and firms.

The core of our research is economic analysis of transport systems, usually applied on or motivated by transport policy issues related to the climate, welfare, equity, gender equality and the labour market.

Our research covers three key pillars:

Transport Pricing

Economic Evaluation of Transport Projects (including cost-benefit analysis)

Industrial Organization in the Transport Sector

Since the transport sector stands for a large share of carbon emissions, this issue is included in almost all our research issues.

Three key pillars of our research

There are a host of pricing instruments in direct or indirect public control in the transport sector: kilometre taxes, fuel taxes, congestion charges, vehicle taxes and subsidies such as “Bonus-Malus”, track access charges in the railway sector, public transport fares. Also reduction quotas for biofuels belongs here.

We analyse the mix of optimal pricing levels and instruments by evaluating their social costs, social benefits, fiscal effects, distributional effects and public support among various groups. We use theories and tools such as optimal pricing, applied microeconomics, and political economy.

We typically apply them to case studies, including

The Swedish congestion tax, where we have a long record of studying designs, effects on travel behaviour, public support and the economy in the long and short run.
Vehicle and fuel taxation and subsidies.
Company car benefits and the impact on car ownership, car choice and car use.
The impact on car use and car ownership on fuel prices.
The most cost-efficient policy mix to reach the transport carbon dioxide reduction targets.
Effects of increased railway track access charges.
Effects on varying port prices.
Effects on increased fuel cost for the speeds and emissions of maritime transport.
Optimal public transport fares, frequencies (supply) and subsidies, in big cities, small cities, and rural areas.
Distributional effects of public transport subsidies.
Effects on travel behaviour of differentiated pricing strategies in public transport.

Economic Evaluation of Transport Projects

Most transport policies and investments generate both positive and negative effects, but they are often irreversible and very costly. A systematic and transparent framework for comparing benefits against costs are essential. Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is the most important framework for this. Some transport policies and investments impact the labour market, the housing market and the market for land. Vice versa, these economic sectors have substantial impacts on transport system, since they impact the transport demand. This is also considered in transport project appraisal.

CBA needs demand modelling and forecasts as well as valuation of non-market goods, which are all included in our research agenda. We apply theoretical frameworks, data collection and estimation methods. Our research topics include:

Valuations of crowding and reliability in public transport.
Methods for estimating valuations using revealed preference data.
Changes in valuations over time.
Methodologies forecast travel demand and freight transport demand by all modes.
How fuel prices, port prices, railway track access charges etc. impact behaviour for individuals and firms.
How an increased supply of roads and public transport impact car use.
External marginal cost of wear and tear for heavy road transport.
External marginal cost of accidents for heavy and light vehicles.

Our research also includes appraisal issues such as

wider impacts on the labour market and social inclusion, i.e. productivity and employment, equity, and gender equity effects.
Improving applied methods and guidelines.
We also undertake case studies (ex ante or ex post) and development of CBA methods for new application areas.
Effects of transport investments on housing and land prices, and on housing construction.
Methods for estimating valuations using stated preference data.
The understandability of CBA among decision makers and the general public.

Our research agenda also includes analysis of the public decision making in the transport sector. For instance, we analyse to what extent cost-benefit efficiency and other factors (including political support national government in the region) impact road the selection of infrastructure investment. Our research also includes industrial organisation in the transport sector. Industrial organisation is important for the functioning of the transport sector because many parts of the transport sector are characterised by a combination of private and public entities, and travellers and carriers. A particularly important example is the railway sector in this respect. Our research includes

Processes for railway capacity allocation.
Determinants of public decisions in the transport sector, and how CBA impacts decision making.
Principles for airport slot allocation.

Our Master’s programme in Transportation Economics provides you with scientific methods and tools for understanding, processing and solving imminent transport-related issues.

Five specialisations are offered in the degree programme, of which you choose two. In these specialisations, you will gain expertise in transportation economics.

These are the five specialisations:

Computational Logistics: The course content consists of analytical methods for solving problems and supporting decisions in transport and logistics companies as well as managing transport systems and services.
Transport Policy: The course content consists of economic and econometric methods for the analysis of a variety of transport policy issues (e.g. emissions, congestion, noise, and safety) and the design and assessment of adequate transport policy measures.
Spatial and Environmental Economics: Contents include economic and econometric methods for analysing the spatial, economic and environmental impact of mobility in cities and regions as well as the evaluation and design of relevant policy interventions to improve the spatial allocation and reduce negative environmental impacts of transport.
Statistics: This course deals with methods of multivariate statistics. The theoretical basics as well as the application of the methods to transport and economic data are covered.
Data Analytics in Transportation: This course covers methods of data analytics and their application. These methods are relevant for preparing and analysing surveys and experiments and studying structured and unstructured data (Big Data) in the transport sector.

You can deepen and expand your knowledge of transport economics by choosing supplementary courses. You can choose not only transport economics modules but also certain economics and transport engineering courses. In addition, you can acquire skills in foreign languages or integrate a vocational internship into your studies. Therefore, the Master's programme provides a high level of flexibility. You can include your ideas, wishes and interests in your studies.

The degree programme has a modular structure and runs over four semesters (eight semesters in part-time study). Modules worth at least 90 credit points (ECTS) have to be taken. The module examinations are taken during the course of study. A Master's thesis (fourth semester or seventh or eighth semester) including a disputation must be completed (30 ECTS).

Course of studies

First Semester (30 ECTS):

25 ECTS Compulsory modules (a total of five modules of 5 ECTS each: all five courses are compulsory):
Operations Research and Logistics
Methods in Transport Policy
Spatial Economics and the Environment
Theoretical Multivariate Statistics
Methods in Data Analytics

5 ECTS Supplementary courses (usually one module)

Objective: Creating common methodological knowledge in addition to the admission requirements as preparation for the specialisations.

Second Semester (30 ECTS):

20 ECTS in two in-depth modules of two specialisations in transport economics (compulsory elective modules; a total of four modules à 5 ECTS).

10 ECTS Supplementary courses (compulsory elective modules; in-depth modules of non-selected specialisations in transportation economics: modules in economics, transport engineering, foreign language and selected modules of other degree programmes)

Third Semester (30 ECTS; mobility window):

The aim of the research work is to deal in depth and in a research-oriented manner with a transport economics topic. This will usually be done as a preliminary work for the Master's thesis.
15 ECTS Supplementary courses (compulsory elective: modules from economics, transport engineering, foreign language communication and individual modules from other degree programmes) or
15 ECTS Work experience (vocational internship) (compulsory elective module)

You can use the third semester (mobility window) for studying abroad or including a vocational internship in your studies.

Students and supervisors can organise the research work to fit the plans for studying abroad or doing an vocational internship by individual agreements.
You can transfer a further 15 ECTS from modules completed at a university abroad.
The vocational internship (15 ECTS) can be national or international.

Fourth Semester (30 ECTS):

30 ECTS Master's thesis: You will write the Master's thesis in one of the chosen specialisations. Ideally, you should combine the research module and the Master's thesis. This allows you to work on a topic in depth in terms of content and methodology for two semesters. In case you are aiming for a doctorate, this already gives you an excellent impression of the procedure for writing a comprehensive scientific thesis.

The programme includes a mobility window in the third semester. You can use this opportunity to study abroad or for a vocational internship. You can transfer up to 30 ECTS from modules completed at a university abroad.

Optionally, you can complete a vocational internship in the third semester.

Currently, students pay approx. 300 EUR per semester (i.e. for six months), including a ticket for public transport in Dresden (bus, tram, ferry, "S-Bahn" suburban train) and regional trains in the Federal State of Saxony. Students can also use a bike rental service all over the city for free for 30 minutes. The contribution also assures concessions in the university cafeterias and offers benefits (e.g. price reductions) for many cultural and leisure activities in Dresden.

Dresden offers high quality of living at very moderate costs. Currently, students should expect to pay around 850 EUR per month including rent, food, insurance and basic expenses. This figure is relatively low compared to other big German cities.

Information on scholarships and funding for students is summarised on a dedicated web page of the TU Dresden.

The prerequisites for admission to the programme are:

a first university degree recognised in Germany that qualifies you for a specific profession, or a degree from a state or state-recognised university of cooperative education in the field of economics, transportation economics, or from a STEM field (mathematics, information technology, natural sciences and technology) or a degree in another course of study with a strong quantitative orientation in terms of content
In addition, special knowledge in the fields of economics, business management, and quantitative methods (mathematics, statistics, econometrics, operations research, programming, data analytics) is required.*

*For more details, see: https://tu-dresden.de/studium/vor-dem-studium/studienangebot/sins/sins_eignungsfeststellung_detail?autoid=31374 .

English proficiency at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is a prerequisite.

https://tu-dresden.de/studium/vor-dem-studium/bewerbung/online-bewerbung

In order to top up their budget, some students may want to look for temporary work in Dresden. If so, different regulations apply for students from EU member states, countries of the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, and students from outside the European Union and the EEA area. In addition, restrictions on the duration of employment may apply. Professors, lecturers and group leaders involved in the Master's programme may offer students the possibility of working as academic assistants. However, living expenses can be financed only partially through a job as an academic assistant.

It is still relatively easy to find affordable accommodation in Dresden. Accommodation is available either via the "Studentenwerk Dresden" or on the private market. Rent for a single room in a student residence is approx. 250 EUR per month. Private housing can be found online. We recommend that you move into a hall of residence at the beginning of your stay in Dresden. Subsequently, you can look for a place on the private market or in a shared apartment, which is known as a "Wohngemeinschaft" in German.

TU Dresden offers plenty of counselling and training within its Career Service to help students with finding professional orientation. They offer workshops to equip students with professional skills and help optimise their CVs.

Additionally, there are special workshops for international students to get to know the German and Saxon job market and network.
