Hess, Stephane

Stéphane Hess is an economist who specializes in transportation and travel behavior. His research focuses on understanding how people make decisions about transportation options—such as choosing between driving, public transit, or cycling—and how these choices influence infrastructure planning and policy. By analyzing factors like costs, convenience, and environmental impact, Hess helps develop models to predict travel patterns, aiming to improve transportation systems, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable mobility. His work supports policymakers and planners in designing transportation solutions that better meet societal needs while considering economic and environmental impacts.
