Patricia's main research interests include topics in urban and regional economics, applied economics, transport economics and transport geography. Key areas of focus comprise the relationship between transport investment, agglomeration economies and economic performance; the causes of spatial disparities in regional development; rural-urban linkages and city-region economies; the relationship between travel demand, sustainable mobility and urban spatial structure; evaluation of urban transport investments; the analysis of output and cost efficiency of public transport operators. Patricia has integrated and coordinated several research projects funded by national and international research councils, including European projects. Her research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals including Regional Science and Urban Economics, the Journal of Economic Geography, the Journal of Regional Science, Urban Studies, Regional Studies, and Transportation Research-Part A Policy and Practice.
