Abstract "The chapters of this book synthesize papers on the inter-related topics of urban economics, real estate, transportation and public policy and include applied and empirical research on a variety of sub-topics. These include innovative econometric techniques that are applied to timely problems, such as impacts of flooding in Vancouver, BC Canada on property values; and the determinants of traffic accident fatalities in the US and in Thailand. There are also chapters on more policy-oriented issues, such as the impacts of Covid-19 on real estate in Toronto, ON Canada. The book will appeal to the interest of academics, policy-makers, planners, and geographers. Eminent contributors include Professor Anming Zhang from the University of British Columbia; and Professors Peter Loeb and Richard Fowles, from Rutgers University and the University of Utah, respectively. These authors are all past-presidents of the Transportation and Public Utilities Group (TPUG) of the American Economic Association (the national association for economists in North America). In addition, Professor James Peoples from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Secretary of TPUG, is a contributor"-- Provided by publisher.
