Courses

Dr. Park currently teaches three graduate courses: Research Methods, Economic Concepts, and Quantitative Methods. He was appointed as part of UB2020's Extreme Events Strategic Strength.

Research

Dr. Park’s research interests are urban economics and transportation modeling as applied to natural and man-made environmental and security problems. Currently, he is developing a methodology to combine NIEMO with modal systems, funded by METRANS. He anticipates developing world-wide MRIO (Multi-regional Input-Output) models, including NIEMO, which is called ICEMAP (Inter-Countries Economic Model of Asian Pacific Rim). The economic and transportation models he developed are used to analyze economic impacts resulting from natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
