Ride-hailing applications create new challenges for governments providing transit services, but also create new opportunities to raise tax revenue. To shed light on the effect of taxing or subsidizing ride-hailing applications, we extend a pseudo-monocentric city model to include multiple...

This paper considers the widespread adoption of electric, shared, autonomous vehicles (AVs). Numerical simulations suggest falling transportation costs and changing center-city land use patterns will reshape the urban form of the city, with several primary consequences. The most likely scenarios...

We develop a model of a monocentric, oil-exporting city. The model predicts producer price and transportation cost effects of oil price changes on the house price gradient. Empirical findings support the predictions, with house price changes positively linked to the price of oil in cities...

Transportation network companies (TNCs) create new challenges for governments providing transit services, but also create new opportunities to raise tax revenue. To shed light on the effect of taxing TNCs, we extend a pseudo-monocentric city model to include multiple endogenously chosen...

High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes have been promoted to encourage carpools, reduce traffic congestion, and improve air quality. At the partial equilibrium level, commuting with three workers per automobile clearly reduces highway congestion, lowers carbon emissions, and saves energy compared to...
