This specialization focuses on the economic dimensions of transport, traffic, mobility, and accessibility. Some examples of fundamental questions that we address: how can we address pressing societal challenges such as congestion, and the associated pressure on urban environmental quality? How can we maintain the accessibility of regions and cities, and meet global environmental pressure from transportation? What are the spatial and economic aspects of these challenges? How can we analyze them from an economic perspective, and how can economics help in analyzing, evaluating, and formulating policies to address these?

The master's program equips students with state-of-the-art of academic economic insights to analyze and answer such questions and provide them with an evidence-based foundation.

In the courses, VU Amsterdam takes a microeconomic perspective and uses applied econometric techniques. Hence, this high-quality one-year program offers students the theoretical knowledge and applied methodological skills to tackle complex problems at a high level of abstraction, while emphasizing the need to translate theoretical solutions into clear-cut evidence-based policy advice.
