Short Biography

With a degree in Economics from de University of Basque Country, she specialized in Mathematical Economics (UPV/ EHU, 1985). She began her professional experience in different institutions in Nicaragua (1985-1997), finishing her stay there working as an environmental economist in the Ministry of the Environment. She continued her training obtaining a Masters in Ecological Economics (CINPE, Costa Rica, 1997), a Doctorate in Environmental Management (UAB, Barcelona, 2012), as well as a postgraduate degree in Spatial Geoinformation Analysis (UPV/EHU, 2020). Since 1999, she has worked as a lecturer at Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of the Basque Country (UPV / EHU). She has published different articles related to the economy and the environment. In recent years her research lines focus on the study of the relationship between the characteristics of urban development and the mobility pattern of cities, using spatial econometrics as an analytical methodology. She is a member of the EKOPOL research group.

This study provides empirical evidence on the links between urban development factors and the use of specific modes of transport in commuting in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The case study is of interest because quantitative research on developing countries is scarce and their rapid urban growth and high rates of inequality may generate different results compared to the US or Europe. This relationship was assessed on locality level using regression methods. Spatial econometric techniques were applied to avoid unreliable inferences generated by spatial dependence and to detect the existence of externalities. Furthermore, we include in the model the socio-economic profile of each locality identified using cluster analysis. The findings reveal that population density affects motorised transport, that diversity is relevant for public transport and non-motorised trips, and urban design characteristics affect all modes of transport. Spatial dependence is detected for motorised transport, which may imply the existence of externalities, suggesting the need for coordinated decision-making processes on a metropolitan level. Finally, modal split depends on the socio-economic profile of a locality, which may influence the response to public transport policies. To sum up, these results may be useful when it comes to helping policymakers design integrated public policies on urban and transport planning.
