An economic model is either an explanatory , mathematical , or graphical representation of real world and theoretical events that captures a certain concept that belongs to one of the various disciplines of economics . An economic model is constructed using either a partial equilibrium analysis or a general equilibrium analysis , depending on the economic analysis that is being applied .

Economics teches us that although perfectly competetiv models are verry far from the actual operations of society , we need to consider their use because of convenience , and the ability of these models to capture the effects of variables while holding all the other variables constant . In this , we would be considering issues of transportation economics . In reviewing the various transportation economics that we have taken into consideration , we see that the models being implemented are models that use partial equilibrium analysis . Such partial models also used the models and assumptions for perfect...
