Tracking land use, transport, and industrial production using random-utility-based multiregional input–output models: Applications for Texas trade

Opening the Interregional Trade ‘‘Black Box’’: The C-Intereg Database for the Spanish Economy (1995—2005)

“…Moreover, studies on interregional input-output (IO) modeling (Isard 1951(Isard , 1953Moses 1955;Polenske 1980;Kim, Boyce, and Hewings 1983;Oosterhaven 1984;Miller and Blair 1985;Hewings et al 1998;Hitomi et al 2000;Liu and Vilain 2004;Kockelman et al 2005;Ruiz and Kockelman 2006) and multiregional computable general equilibrium models and social accounting matrices (SAM; Stone 1961;Round 1995;Bröcker 1998;Jackson et al 2006;Bröcker and Schneekloth 2006) also offer interesting approaches to estimate interregional trade flows, linking the IO and SAM frameworks to interregional transport flows (table 1).…”

The Introduction of Dynamic Features in a Random-Utility-Based Multiregional Input-Output Model of Trade, Production, and Location Choice

“…Purchase-weighted logsums of productive inputs serve as input sales prices, in utility-consistent units. Kockelman et al (2005) calibrated the origin choice models using the 1997 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) data (BTS 2000), which do not offer travel cost information. Zhao and Kockelman (2004) applied fixed-point theory (i.e., the notion that a solution to F(x) = x exists, under certain conditions) to examine existence and uniqueness conditions for RUBMRIO's model solutions.…”

“…6, is the import utility of acquiring commodity m in U.S. state s and transporting it to producing zone j. The β's and λ's are logit model parameters calibrated using CFS 1997 data (Kockelman et al 2005), and d sj,highway and d sj,railway are the road-and railway-network distances between state s and zone j, respectively. In Eq.…”

“…When coupled with random utility theory for the distribution of productive input, a spatial IO model emerges. MEPLAN (Echenique 1985;Hunt and Echenique 1993;Hunt and Simmonds 1993;Abraham and Hunt 1999), TRANUS (de la Barra 1995), PECAS (Hunt and Abraham 2003), and RUBMRIO (Kockelman et al 2005;andRuiz-Juri and2006) are based on this theory. MEPLAN, TRANUS, and PECAS represent dynamics by allowing the travel costs associated with freight and person flows to affect land use decisions in the next iteration of the model, along with network system changes (e.g., roadway expansions) and exogenous economic shocks (e.g., increases in export demands).…”

“…In order to recognize the dynamics of change, in land use, trade, and production, this study builds on the work of Ruiz-Juri and and Kockelman et al (2005), which developed a Random-Utility-Based Multiregional Input-Output (RUBMRIO) model of Texas trade. Their RUBMRIO model describes the production and trade patterns across Texas' 254 counties.…”
