Hagler Bailly (2000) contains a toolbox of software models for forecasting economic development impacts as well as user economic impacts (i.e., benefit-cost analysis). The toolbox also includes case studies of applications and a diagnostic tool to assist in choosing a model.

Cambridge Systematics (1998) includes a categorization, description, and case studies of a wide range of methods for forecasting the economic impacts of transportation projects. While the focus is on measuring the impacts of transit projects, the methods are generally applicable to highway and other transportation modes.

Transportation Research Record 1274 (1990) contains a number of articles resulting from a conference on identifying and measuring the impacts of transportation on economic development.
