Assessment of economic impacts from unexpected events with an interregional commodity flow and multimodal transportation network model

Vulnerability and resilience of transport systems – A discussion of recent research

“…Notably, several authors have assessed the economic impacts of earthquakes disrupting the road network using integrated transport network and multiregional trade models (Cho et al, 2001;Ham et al, 2005;Kim et al, 2002;Tatano and Tsuchiya, 2008). Bono and Gutiérrez (2011) use network theory and GIS-based analysis to evaluate the impacts of disrupted roads on accessibility following the earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010.…”

Estimating economic losses of industry clusters due to port disruptions

“…However, we should recognize that the influences of the malfunction in the supply chain elements are quite different. Disruptive events might not only result in a halt in the cargo flow, but may also lead to some chain effects in industry productions (Ham et al, 2005). For example, the bullwhip effect is a typical example of such influence in the supply chain.…”

Road project opportunity costs subject to a regional constraint on greenhouse gas emissions

“…Other approaches analyse more finely effects of transport networks as these networks are altered (Kim et al, 2002;Ham et al, 2005) or in connection with biofuels (Neuwahl et al, 2008). The issue of GHG emissions associated with transport is analysed in terms of ecological footprint (Druckman and Jackson, 2009).…”
