Industry Sector - Transport

Perennial Economics can provide economic analysis to the transport sector. The questions we can  answer range from the port-focused, How much is the port worth? to the broader, state-level, How much will the transport infrastructure investment add to the State’s economy?

Perennial Economics can prepare an economic impact study as part of an Environmental Impact Statement.

Perennial Economics can apply CGE (computable general equilibrium) model  to estimate the economic impact of productivity improvements arising from a proposed investment in transport infrastusture.We can also analyse transport-related employment responses to changes in regional economic conditions. For instance, where the cost of passenger and freight transport between the mainland and an island  can be analysed in terms of it’s effect on business viability and overall economic development on the island.

Cost benefit analysis of the proposed marine facilities upgrade and a rail link project are typical of the regional infrastructure assessments undertaken by Perennial Economics. Freight flow analysis is another area where collected, collated and analysed data sets for a range of clients.
