SPATS Framework Lot 1 - Agglomeration Elasticities

The Department for Transport (the Department), in conjunction with Transport for the North and Transport for London, are keen to do further work to understand the links between infrastructure investment and economic performance and in particular to refresh and extend the existing evidence base. The work is intended ultimately to inform the development of national appraisal guidance but prior to this a range of outputs will be required to meet specific business needs in 2016. This project should result in a clearer and comprehensive narrative surrounding agglomeration impacts. The project should also look to re-estimate and potentially extend the existing elasticities.
