Experts and Consensus in Economics and the Social Sciences Search this site Home Invited Speakers Call for Abstracts Registration Program and Abstracts Program Committee and Support Practical Information Bayreuth 14 days until Abstract Submission May 25-26 - University of Bayreuth (Germany) The term 'expert-based consensus' refers to the practice of relying on the experience and subjective judgment of experts, rather than on other types of evidence (for example from computer models or statistics) when seeking consensus in science. Seeking expert-based consensus becomes a particularly pressing problem when policy applications are needed and yet the current formal models or analytical methods are insufficient for drawing policy conclusions from the science itself. The goal of this workshop is to bring together philosophers and social scientists who have done extensive work on the problems of expertise and expert-based consensus, in order to discuss both theoretical and applied issues related to a methodology of expert judgment and consensus seeking among experts. While the focus of this workshop is primarily on those aspects of the topic that are related to the social sciences, the workshop will touch on the natural sciences and engineering as well. That will allow, additionally, for a useful comparison between disciplines, and it will offer an opportunity for drawing possible distinctions between the use of expert-based consensus in the social as compared to other sciences. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bayreuth

WHY ET3? Transportation should be clean, green, fast, comfortable and affordable for all; It must also be financially sustainable on a global level. THE TIME FOR A NEW MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS NOW! WHAT IS ET3 and HOW DOES IT WORK? ET3 is literally "Space Travel on Earth". ET3 is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric. Car sized passenger capsules travel in 1.5m (5') diameter tubes on frictionless maglev. Air is permanently removed from the two-way tubes that are built along a travel route. Airlocks at stations allow transfer of capsules without admitting air. Linear electric motors accelerate the capsules, which then coast through the vacuum for the remainder of the trip using no additional power. Most of the energy is regenerated as the capsules slow down. ET3 can provide 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric cars or trains. Speed in initial ET3 systems is 600km/h (370 mph) for in state trips, and will be developed to 6,500 km/h (4,000 mph) for international travel that will allow passenger or cargo travel from New York to Beijing in 2 hours. ET3 is networked like freeways, except the capsules are automatically routed from origin to destination. ET3 capsules weigh only 183 kg (400 lbs), yet like an automobile, can carry up to six people or 367 kg (800 lbs) of cargo. Compared to high speed rail, ET3 needs only 1/20th the material to build because the vehicles are so light. With automated passive switching, a pair of ET3 tubes can exceed the capacity of a 32 lane freeway. ET3 can be built for 1/10th the cost of High Speed Rail, or 1/4th the cost of a freeway. ET3 stands for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies. The company et3.com Inc. is an open consortium of licensees dedicated to global implementation of Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT)

Maranhão consolida vantagem competitiva com criação do Terminal de Grãos no Itaqui Os estudos apontam que a produção, produtividade das lavouras de soja, área cultivada, demanda doméstica e exportação vão continuar crescendo em toda a área de influência do Porto do Itaqui (Piauí, Tocantins, Mato Grosso e do Sul do Pará). Clique para ver outras imagens A Empresa Maranhense de Administração Portuária assina amanhã, 02/02, às 10h, no Palácio dos Leões, o contrato com as arrendatárias do Terminal de Grãos do Maranhão (TEGRAM). Além do presidente da EMAP, Luiz Carlos Fossati, e dos representantes das empresas, estarão presentes a governadora Roseana Sarney; o diretor da Agência Nacional de Transportes Aquaviários (Antaq), Fernando Fialho; e o titular da Secretaria Estadual de Indústria e Comércio, Maurício Macêdo. Com a entrada em funcionamento do TEGRAM, já para a safra de 2013, o Maranhão não apenas consolida sua vantagem competitiva no Nordeste, mas também em relação ao agronegócio nacional. Os estudos apontam que a produção, produtividade das lavouras de soja, área cultivada, demanda doméstica e exportação vão continuar crescendo em toda a área de influência do Porto do Itaqui (Piauí, Tocantins, Mato Grosso e do Sul do Pará). Isso torna o porto maranhense o canal natural para as exportações de soja, com menores custos de transporte, maior ganho para os produtores e diminuição no tempo de acesso aos principais mercados mundiais consumidores (China, Japão e Europa). Outra consequência positiva é que parte do excedente da produção poderá criar condições favoráveis à verticalização da cadeia do agronegócio no Maranhão, já que farelo de soja é matéria-prima para a produção de carnes (aves e suínos). O TEGRAM terá capacidade estática de armazenamento de 500 mil toneladas (base soja), compreendendo quatro armazéns com capacidade de 125 mil toneladas/cada e movimentação final de 10 milhõ

MIT Smart Cities: City Car Published February 12, 2008 Energy Policy , Transportation 2 Comments Tags: Automotive X Prize, Electric Car When I think of car sharing in the U.S., I think of Flexcar and Zipcar [they have merged -- new name is Zipcar]. Together I think they had around 5,000 vehicles at merger time in 2007. But so far carsharing has no measurable impact on urban traffic or CO2 load. Some of the consumer resistance may be price. That's where the MIT City Car looks promising - this is exactly what I want for the urban short-trips that involved carrying stuff back to the transport station. I could imagine the Buenos Aires CBD traffic density being cut in half or more by a hundred thousand of these way-cool cars, with a "luggage cart" stand every couple of blocks. And a little car that can move in any direction on its four independent wheel-robots would be very appealing - though possibly deadly amidst speeding BA taxis… UPDATE 080212: Some clarifications are required, prompted by comments to this post from carsharing pioneer Dave Brook - whose blog is a recommended source on the industry. I'll just briefly enumerate these points: 1. Carsharing cannot make a major impact on urban traffic/CO2 load unless the concept wins large scale adoption by consumers who elect to substitute public transport + carsharing for their current single-passenger-per-vehicle preferences. 2. Not being privy to any objective studies of consumer preferences, I'm speculating that at least two factors will gate acceptance: convenience and price. On convenience the City Car concept might contribute if deployed with sufficient spatial frequency to e.g. make Ms. shopper happy running her errands within a convenient carsharing radius around a transport station. My speculation is that density is probably not coarser than a 2 block grid. 3. Price - The City Car could make high frequency deployment more economic by introducing several operating cost efficiencies

The Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) is founded jointly by Stiftung Mercator and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). It will be funded with 17 Million Euro over eight years by Stiftung Mercator, the anticipated location is the Euref-Campus at Berlin. MCC will commence its operations in 2012. Four Working Groups will advance research on the opportunities and challenges of sustainable economic growth in a resource and sink bounded world, with a particular focus on avoiding dangerous climate change. By conducting topical Assessment Reports in close cooperation with international partner institutions, MCC aims to promote deliberative communication and decision-making at the interface between science, policy and society.  "The mission of MCC is timely. Mapping our options for attaining sustainable growth in a naturally bounded world is key to tackling the two defining challenges of this century: Eradicating world poverty and managing climate change. We do have to find a low-carbon approach to growth and development and as we do we will find that this different way is very attractive and dynamic."   Lord Nicholas Stern, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

DOSSIER/ Villes chinoises en mouvement- Revenir au sommaire Abstracts in english Traduction : Iain Whyte Editorial Antoine Loubière, Editor-in-chief of "Urbanisme", outlines the contents of the special feature entitled "Chinese Cities on the Move", produced in partnership with l'Institut pour la Ville en Mouvement (PSA Peugeot-Citroën) / The City on the Move Institute. The IVM organised an international symposium in Beijing from 11 to 13 October 2004 on the subject of "Urban mobilities: the research issues in China and abroad". The feature contains a report on this symposium and on the Chinese city workshops dedicated to Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Wuhan. The rebirth of Chinese cities Paradoxically, in spite of being in the grips of globalisation, metropolisation and the constraints of ever more complex urban management, Chinese cities seem to be undergoing a normalisation process. The reforms initiated over 20 years ago have completely changed the urban scene in China inherited from Maoism. Jean-François Doulet, who teaches at l'Institut d'études politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) and heads the IVM's China programme, explains this change. Round-table discussion: French views on Chinese cities This round-table discussion brought together French researchers (François Ascher, Georges Amar) and French urban development professionals (Bernard Reichen, Laurent Théry, Étienne Tricaud) involved in IVM initiatives in China. The participants first discussed the conditions in which Chinese cities develop. They then discussed the part played by mobility in the structuring of Chinese cities, asking themselves if there was a "Chinese model" of urban development in contrast to the European and US models. The International Symposium in Beijing (11-13 October 2004) After a presentation of the IVM's China programme, based notably on an interview with its Secretary General, Xavier Fels, head of external relations at PSA Peugeot-Citroën, th

Michelin to Partner with City on the Move Institute At the Challenge Bibendum in Berlin, Michelin has announced its intention of partnering with the City on the Move Institute (IVM). Created and supported since June 2000 by PSA Peugeot Citroën, IVM is looking for new partnerships with companies in a range of industries that are capable of playing a decisive role in improving the quality of urban mobility in the years ahead. Michelin and IVM will exchange ideas and discuss challenges and solutions facing sustainable mobility, an area in which the two companies share a common interest. Michelin "Michelin has organised the Challenge Bibendum since 1998 and in 12 years, it has become an indispensable global event that enables all road mobility stakeholders to work, debate, learn and talk about what road mobility can and must do to become truly sustainable," said Jean-Dominique Senard, Managing General Partner of the Michelin Group. "PSA Peugeot Citroën is a longstanding partner to the Michelin Challenge Bibendum. Since the priorities of the City on the Move Institute and Michelin are perfectly aligned, it seemed entirely logical for us to become a partner to IVM and to officially announce the partnership in Berlin at the 11th Challenge Bibendum." City on the Move Institute "IVM was created to support public discussions about mobility and stakeholders in the process. To strengthen the Institute's development and outreach, we're now committed to working with key mobility players," said Philippe Varin, IVM President. "Michelin's decision to join us is an excellent example of this approach. I'm very pleased to have a partner with extensive experience and knowledge, which is so remarkably and concretely demonstrated at the Challenge Bibendum." Michelin will join IVM's executive bodies, and a common working programme will be developed in the near future to expand the partnership. A non-profit association, the Institute is dedicated to dev

Press release 12/13/2010 The City on the Move Institute (IVM) Celebrates its 10th Anniversary Philippe Varin, Chairman of the PSA Peugeot Citroën Managing Board and President of IVM, opened the seminar organized to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the City on the Move Institute (IVM) by hailing the Institute's valuable contribution to recent developments in the area of urban mobility. Founded by PSA Peugeot Citroën in 2000, IVM deploys urban mobility research projects and initiatives in Europe, Latin America and Asia and contributes to the creation of innovative solutions by conducting trials in rapidly changing cities. In 2011, the Institute will launch a research project to see how major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Buenos Aires, Mexico, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Greater Paris are addressing mobility issues. The programme will be led by IVM's Chinese, Latin American and European university chairs. As part of the programme, IVM has signed an agreement with the Université Paris-Est centre for research and higher education, which brings together the main research laboratories, universities and institutes that work on urban planning, regional development and transport in France. As a non-profit association, the Institute actively takes part in public discussions and is committed to broadening its horizons. Consequently, in 2011 it will be looking to establish partnerships in order to exchange ideas with stakeholders in the emerging mobility landscape. During the seminar, Philippe Varin reaffirmed IVM's importance for PSA Peugeot Citroën. "Today, car ownership is not the only way to procure freedom and independence of movement, and this development has led to a series of major changes," he said. "While the Group is well-equipped to study the technical and scientific aspects of the trend, the sociological impact around the world is best analysed by IVM, a conscientious and committed observer of urban change. This analysis is leading

n Assessment of Public Transportation Markets Using NHTS Data This free webinar on Thursday, March 22 (noon to 1 PM ET) by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida summarizes a recently released study by the National Center for Transit Research (NCTR) that assesses a range of public transit markets for Florida and the U.S. as a whole. Data from the 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) are used. The public transit markets are defined with trip purpose and seven personal, household, and travel characteristics of persons in these transit markets, including driver status, immigration status, existence of medical conditions that make it difficult to travel out of the home, household income, vehicle availability, race and ethnicity, and monthly frequency of transit use. Based on an approach of cross tabulations, this study assesses these transit markets from five perspectives: 1. Market Size - how the overall transit market is distributed across these transit sub-markets. 2. Modal Share - how people within each transit market travel using various modes, including transit. 3. Attitudes - how people within each transit market feel about a set of transportation issues. 4. Socio-Demographics - personal, household, location, and travel characteristics of transit markets. 5. Trip Characteristics - transit-specific and general trip characteristics of transit markets. The assessment for Florida is limited to the first three perspectives due to sample size issues. The results presented are useful to operating agencies for strategic planning and to other government bodies for developing policies and funding programs for improving mobility of those who are transportation and economically disadvantaged and for improving the transportation system in general.
