Course
 Description
 (Catalog)
TLMT
 312
 -­‐
 Transportation
 Economics
 (3
 hours)
 
This
 course
 focuses
 on
 the
 micro
 and
 macro
 economic
 issues
 associated
 with
 international,
 national,
 and
 
local
 transport,
 logistics,
 and
 other
 issues
 in
 the
 transportation
 industry.
 Topics
 include
 the
 economic
 
aspects
 of
 rail,
 water,
 air,
 ground,
 and
 other
 transport
 modes;
 inventory,
 and
 supply.
 

Course
 Scope

This
 course
 will
 provide
 you
 with
 a
 solid
 foundation
 in
 economic
 principles
 and
 the
 interaction
 of
 
transportation
 economics
 with
 regard
 to
 technology
 &
 globalization.
 
 The
 course
 will
 explore
 the
 
application
 of
 economic
 theory
 to
 the
 transport
 sector.
 Unlike
 other
 courses
 which
 often
 concentrate
 on
 
particular
 modes
 of
 transport,
 such
 as
 the
 railways
 or
 shipping,
 or
 specific
 sectors
 such
 as
 the
 
nationalized
 transport
 industries,
 one
 of
 the
 main
 aims
 of
 our
 course
 is
 to
 show
 that
 many
 economic
 
issues
 in
 transport
 are
 common
 to
 all
 modes,
 with
 some
 variations.
 Subsequently,
 the
 approach
 is
 to
 
show
 how
 economic
 theory
 may
 be
 applied
 to
 improve
 the
 overall
 efficiency
 of
 the
 transport
 sector;
 
examples
 are,
 therefore,
 drawn
 from
 all
 forms
 of
 transport.

Netiquette
 
Online
 universities
 promote
 the
 advancement
 of
 knowledge
 through
 positive
 and
 constructive
 
debate
 –
 both
 inside
 and
 outside
 the
 classroom.
 Discussions
 on
 the
 Internet,
 however,
 can
 
occasionally
 degenerate
 into
 needless
 insults
 and
 “flaming.”
 Such
 activity
 and
 the
 loss
 of
 good
 
manners
 are
 not
 acceptable
 in
 a
 university
 setting
 –
 basic
 academic
 rules
 of
 good
 behavior
 and
 
proper
 “Netiquette”
 must
 persist.
 
 Remember
 that
