Proceedings from a Workshop on Economic Analysis of Inland Navigation and Port Projects Held at Washington, DC on 15-16 March 1984.

Abstract

This meeting brought most of the Corps technical specialists, several Corps planning managers and some outside experts in navigation modelling, economics and simulation together to determine where we are and what should be done to increase the quality and effectiveness of the economic analysis of navigation projects. Papers presented: An Overview of Waterway Systems Analysis Capability and Problems; The Ohio River Division's Approach to Navigation Systems Analysis; A Discussion and Description of the General Equilibrium Model (GEM); A System Equilibrium Model for Economic Policy Analysis of National Inland Waterways Navigation (GEM 1); A Non Linear Program Model to Measure the Economic Impacts of Inland Waterway Navigation Systems (GEM 2). Review Comments by Outside Experts: Dr. Royce Ginn, Dr. Michael S. Bronizini, Dr. Leonard S. Shabman. Keywords include: Economic analysis of lock congestion, Economic analysis of increased modelling, Capacity, Nonlinear programming, Navigation system analysis, General Equilibrium Model (GEM), Tow cost/marginal economic analysis model.
