The role of attitude structures, direct experience and reframing for the success of congestion pricing
Eliasson, Jonas - In: Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice 67 (2014) C, pp. 81-95
2007. Public attitudes to the charges became more negative during the period from the decision to the start of the system …. Once the trial started, public attitudes became dramatically more positive over the following years, going from 2/3 against … the charges to more than 2/3 in favor of the charges. Self-reported changes in behavior and attitudes considerably …

Cost recovery from congestion tolls with long-run uncertainty
Lindsey, Robin; de Palma, André - In: Economics of Transportation 3 (2014) 2, pp. 119-132
According to the Cost Recovery Theorem the revenues from optimal congestion tolls pay for the capacity costs of an optimal-sized facility if capacity is perfectly divisible, and if user costs and capacity costs have constant scale economies. This paper extends the theorem to long-run uncertainty...

Step tolling with bottleneck queuing congestion
Robin Lindsey, C.; den Berg, Vincent A.C. van; Verhoef, … - In: Journal of Urban Economics 72 (2012) 1, pp. 46-59
In most dynamic traffic congestion models, congestion tolls must vary continuously over time to achieve the full optimum. This is also the case in Vickrey (1969) ‘bottleneck model’. To date, the closest approximations of this ideal in practice have so-called ‘step tolls’, in which the...

Transportation Fuels Policy since the OPEC Embargo: Paved with Good Intentions
Knittel, Christopher R. - In: American Economic Review 103 (2013) 3, pp. 344-49
A long line of research investigates whether the retail prices of electricity and natural gas send proper signals about scarcity in order to induce efficient consumption. Historically, regulated utilities have not designed tariffs that set marginal prices equal to marginal costs. Currently, some...
