The project will analyse the emerging Sydney Strategic Plan which is designed to address excessive car reliance that is claimed to cause inefficient energy use, congestion, adverse health and excessive greenhouse gas emissions. The Project's policy framework will contribute to of an environmentally sustainable Australia and will promote public debate. While other funding will have expired, the professional academic network will continue to flourish at spatially oriented workshops and conferences which will provide the means of disseminating the analytical techniques, empirical results and policy analysis from the project, thereby enhancing the research capacities of network members.Read moreRead less
A new look at modelling population heterogeneity in econometric study. This research will advance existing quantitative techniques in economic study. New theoretical results will help enhance Australian research reputations. The innovative techniques developed in this project will be demonstrated to study labour force participation of people with disabilities in Australia. Findings of the empirical study will help governments in providing financial assistance to affected families and addressing ....A new look at modelling population heterogeneity in econometric study. This research will advance existing quantitative techniques in economic study. New theoretical results will help enhance Australian research reputations. The innovative techniques developed in this project will be demonstrated to study labour force participation of people with disabilities in Australia. Findings of the empirical study will help governments in providing financial assistance to affected families and addressing the issue of labour shortage in Australia. Furthermore the participation of a high profile international researcher will benefit the local research community and provide a research training opportunity for local postgraduate students.Read moreRead less
