DTU Transport is the largest transport research institution in Denmark, and one of the largest university based transport research departments in Europe. The research at the department lies broadly within the transport domain based on different methodological disciplines. The research is applied in teaching, public sector consultancy and innovation all with the aim to benefit society. Transportation economics plays a significant role in the department’s research based support of the Danish Ministry of Transport within evaluation of transport policies and effects of regulation.

Responsibilities and tasks
The position involves project based research at an international level and public sector consultancy. The general aim is to assess the effect of transport policies, developing and applying microeconomic theory and microeconometrics. All aspects of travel demand are considered, emphasising the relationship between the transport sector and the economy in general, as well as issues related to congestion and environmental impacts. The specific research could be focused on topics like:

• Congestion, for example concerning the cost of travel time, travel time risk, and information, or aggregate dynamic congestion modelling, looking for example at hypercongestion and equilibrium dynamics.
  The linkages between transport markets and the wider economy, taking the perspective of urban economics or new economic geography and perhaps emphasising the markets for labour and housing.
  Taxation of cars, evaluating for example the effects of registration tax reform on the markets for new and used cars.

Transportation economics has close relations to the department’s other research themes, in particular to transport modelling and governance.

The public sector consultancy involves evaluation of a wide range of policy instruments including capacity provision, pricing and taxation, regulation of parking, information provision and methods for welfare economic evaluation.

As most of the research at DTU Transport is externally funded, research is organised in project teams, and project management as well as active participation in fund-raising will be expected with increasing experience. Furthermore, the successful candidate is expected to contribute to our national and international networking activities.
