REFIT
Refinement and test of sustainability indicators and tools with regard to European Transport policies
The objective of the study is to provide a set of sustainability indicators
for assessing the effect of various policies/packages of priority interest
through state-of-art models at European scale. The challenge is therefore to
develop, test and validate a "modelling tools-based"; methodology that produces
data on a set of identified indicators and that enables ex-ante
evaluation of the European Common Transport Policy considering the economic,
environmental and social dimensions of sustainability.
TML was responsible for the development of both sustainability indicators and
a modelling tool for the assessment of equity and income distribution effects of
the European Common Transport Policy. The modelling tool, called EDIP, was built using
the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) framework for each of the EU27
countries + Norway, Switzerland, Croatia and Turkey. The EDIP model has the same structure for all the
represented countries and incorporates the representation of different
socio-economic groups, their income earning capacities on the labour market and their transport-related choices. It also models
explicitly production activities, countries + exports and imports and their
governmental budgets.
