ITEA is pleased to confirm that the ITEA Annual Conference and ITEA Annual School on Transportation Economics in 2022 will be co-organized by École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC) and Toulouse Business School (TBS) in Toulouse (France).
The ITEA Annual School will be held on June 13-15, 2022. The ITEA Annual Conference will be held on June 15-17, 2022.
ITEA’s Scientific and Local Organizing Committees are thrilled to confirm that Professor Bruno Jullien (Toulouse School of Economics) will be our keynote speaker.
IMPORTANT: Due to the current pandemic, ITEA is considering – and planning accordingly – two alternative formats for its conference: in-person and online. Although the in-person format is preferred, the final decision will depend on the health situation and will be announced at a later stage. In case an online format is adopted, the structure of the school and the conference will remain similar in terms of parallel sessions and accepted submissions (i.e., around 150 papers will be accepted for presentation). Therefore, ITEA clearly ensures that both the school and the conference will not be cancelled in any case.
On behalf of École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC) and Toulouse Business School (TBS), Professors Chantal Roucolle and Sylvain Bourjade (co-Chairs of the Local Organizing Committee) and all the members of their committee are committed to host a successful conference, by combining proficient logistics with demanding academic standards.
The aim of the ITEA Annual School is to provide young researchers with a high-quality introduction to academic research on transportation economics, including many recent advances in the field. The program consists of a series of lectures and tutorials conducted by some of the most prominent researchers in transportation economics. In addition, the students are given the possibility to present their own work at the ITEA Annual Conference.
The aim of the ITEA Annual Conference is to promote scientific excellence in the field of transportation economics and to provide a forum for scientific exchange. Research presented at the Conference covers both theory and empirical work, including all transport modes and a wide range of research methodologies. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, transport pricing and investment, competition policy, transport decisions under uncertainty, agglomeration effects, valuation of intangibles, privatization, sharing economics, the economics of new transport technologies, the economics of large transport infrastructure or the political economy of transport decisions.
The extended abstract submission will start next January 1, 2022, being the deadline March 4, 2022. You are invited to submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages or 400-800 words) containing title, author(s), research question, methodology, expected results and references through conference maker (the conference-maker link will be provided at a later stage).
