Notice Title

THRE0042 Research into the distributional incidence of the benefits from transport investment

Notice Description

The primary objective of this research project is to provide a robust, defensible basis for applying DW within UK transport appraisal, which can be acceptable to both His Majesty's Treasury and stakeholders within DfT. This project will focus on developing the evidence base for applying DW in routine appraisal cases, where large scale spatial economic modelling is not feasible. Key issues to explore include identifying the ultimate beneficiaries of investments, exploring income segmentation in modelling, and understanding what impacts DW could have on the appraisal of a wide range of types of investment in DfT's portfolio.
