A New Gridding Method for Zonal Travel Activity and Emissions Using Bicubic Spline Interpolation

Zheng, Yi; Wang, Bo; Zhang, H. Michael; Niemeier, Debbie - Institute for Transportation Studies (ITS), University … - 2003

For air quality dispersion models, mobile source emissions, including both link- and traffic zone-level emissions, must be disaggregated into grid cells. Current gridding methods assign all traffic analysis zone level emissions to the single grid cell containing the TAX centroid. In this study,...

Intertemporal and spatial depletion of landfills

Gaudet, Gérard; Moreaux, Michel; Salant, Stephen W. - 1998

This paper generalizes Hotelling's (1931) theory of nonrenewable resources to situations where resource pools and their users are distributed spatially. Extraction and transport costs are assumed to be linear in the rate of extraction, but utilization of each deposit may require a setup cost....

Explaining the Low Labor Productivity in East Germany. A Spatial Analysis

Fuchs-Schündeln, Nicola; Izem, Rima - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2007

This paper presents a spatial analysis of unemployment rates in Germany. The goal of this analysis is to explain the stubbornly low labor productivity and high unemployment rates in Eastern Germany. We build a model of commuting to distinguish between worker and job characteristics as the main...
