Abstract

The relationship between the economy, mobility, infrastructure and other regional features is described by an interregional dynamic model, named MOBILEC. In fact MOBILEC is a neoclassical growth model, but adapted in such a way that it can generate unemployment. The model is macroeconomic on the level of regions within a country or country parts within Europe. Its main characteristic is the mutual influencing of the economy and mobility. With the help of MOBILEC time paths of regional product, employment, investment and mobility (passengers and goods; transport modes; transport flows by motive) can be simulated for each region. It is also possible to calculate by region the effects of mobility policy and spatial economic policy on the quantities mentioned. The model has been applied to three regions of the Netherlands; the simulation results of the mobility and the economy of the province of Utrecht are presented. It happens in the form of long-term projections till 2030, on the base of four scenarios of economic environment and five variants of mobility policy. (A)
