Project Description

How the global diffusion of ridesharing models may affect alcohol-related traffic injuries and new transport alternatives. 

Attention can be given to cities such as Montreal (Quebec), or Valparaíso (Chile) in which ridesharing has been introduced. The idea is identifying with time-series methods if Uber has been associated with increases or decreases of fatalities. The study of Montreal will be used to shape the public debate in this city regarding new regulations for this service.

Candidates must be full-time students who are either continuing their Doctoral program or who have been admitted into a Doctoral program, and are interested in rapidly learning time-series methods
