Maria Börjesson
Adjunct Professor
I am a researcher that aim to contribute with an understanding of how societies can balance prosperity, trade and distributional effects with scarce resources, climate, accidents and other negative effects of transport.
Transport systems and public decision-making
My research focuses on the transport system, often public policy-making, and all modes of transport. This includes the design of policies such as taxes, charges, deregulation and infrastructure investment. The transport system is fundamental to all other sectors of the economy.
