中美城市交通拥堵问题

——基于经济学视角的分析

城市化发展带来的城市交通拥堵问题是各国不得不面对的挑战。若不加以治理，它很有可能会影响到国家整体经济的运行。因此，许多学者开始将目光投向相关问题的研究，他们的研究课题包括交通拥堵带来的成本和城市交通系统治理等。在一项最新研究中，美国布鲁金斯学会高级研究员Clifford Winston与来自耶鲁大学的Quentin Karpilow以美国加利福尼亚州的城市交通堵塞问题为出发点，研究了该问题如何影响城市的就业、GDP和工资水平等方面。他们认为加州的案例可以为中国的相关问题研究者带来一点启示。

清华布鲁金斯学会将以“美中城市交通拥堵问题——基于经济学视角的分析”为主题举办为期两天的学术讨论会，邀请到10余位城市规划、经济学等相关领域的专家带来他们最新的研究成果。会议时间为2016年10月17日至18日，地点在清华大学公共管理学院302室。

每场讨论会后将有自由提问环节。会议语言为英文，不提供同声传译。我们期待您的参与！

U.S.-China Economic Analyses 

of Urban Congestion:

What Both Countries Can Learn from Each Other

With the fast pace of urbanization process, countries have now come to realize that congestion delays may affect specific sectors and even the overall economy. In a research conducted by Clifford Winston at Brookings Institution and Quentin Karpilow from Yale University, the scholars explored how congestion affects the California economy accounting for the growth in employment, GDP, wages, and freight flows. Moreover, they shed lights on what China may learn from this U.S. example.

From17 October to 18 October, 2016, the Brookings-Tsinghua Center will host a two-day conference on U.S.-China Economic Analyses of Urban Congestion: What Both Countries Can Learn from Each Other. The conference will be held at Room 302, School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University. Working language will be English without simultaneous interpretation.

We very much look forward to your attendance!
