The Total Social Costs of Constructing and Operating a High-Speed Rail Line Using a Case Study of the Riyadh-Dammam Corridor, Saudi Arabia by Hamad Almujibah, Hamad Almujibah, John Preston

“…In this case, the gravity demand model is used to forecast the demand, as a function of independent variables for the cities alongside with the proposed line such as the population, GDP per capita, the generalized journey time, unemployment rate, years since opening the corridor, and the dummy variable. As a result, the total social costs of constructing and operating the proposed HSR line is €1,090,106,913 per year resulting from the sum of the following categories. …”

FORMALIZATION OF SELFSELECTION OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE MODE by A. V. Kobylianska

“…The paper proceeds with the respective analysis of four mostly widespread modes of GEG: supranational, hierarchic, network and hybrid, and the derivation of specific probit function which explains dependence on GEG mode on a specific set of dummy variables. Thus, the paper is the first attempt to formalize the self-selection of modes of global economic governance. …”
