| Abstract |
The Grand Paris Express project is a network composed of automatic metro lines with a total length of 200 kilometers. The main objectives of the project are job creation, as well as social and economic development for the Paris region. The Société du Grand Paris has set up a scientific committee and developed several studies to better understand the impact of this 30 billion infrastructure project. The questions to investigate include: What are the impacts of the project on firm location and relocation of firms? What are the economic and social benefits? What are the impacts of road congestion, travel time reliability, public transport congestion, accessibility or urban sprawl?
Professor de Palma will describe in detail some of the specific estimation procedures for the residential location models and the mode choice models. He will also present the impacts of the Grand Paris Express, putting into perspective some results obtained so far. The approach used is unique, since it combines various approaches, including estimation, partial equilibrium and general equilibrium.
