In this paper we develop a new theory of static equilibrium in congested transportation networks. Our considerations are based on a physical meaning of the flows rather than on an artificially chosen model of travel time functionsl We introduce a concept of the stable equilibrium and prove the...

This paper presents a spatial model to study imperfect competition with congestion. The model is used to examine the price and wage setting of subcenters of a city. Residents live in a city while they shop and work in subcentres. Each subcenter offers one differentiated product and one...

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of tolling road use on a parallel road network where each link can be tolled by a different government. Using both theoreticaland numericalmo dels, the paper analyses the potential tax competition between countries that each maximise the surplus...

The purpose of this paper is to compare the interaction between pricing and capacity decisions on simple serial and parallel transport networks. When individual links of the network are operated by different regional or national authorities, toll and capacity competition is likely to result....

We consider the problem of designing a 2-stations Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS). The AGV System consists of a pool of vehicles that transports products from one station to the other station through an unidirectional guidepath.

The competitive equilibrium correspondence, which associates equilibrium prices of commodities ans assets with allocations of endowments, identifies the preferences and beliefs of individuals, this is the case even if the asset market is incomplete.

We investigate the impact of changes in international trade and domestic transport costs on the internal geography of a domestic economy linked to the rest of the World through a hub. We address that issue by developing two three regions model, namely a version of the Footlose Entrepreneur and a...

We develop an economic geography model in which mobile skilled workers choose between working in the production sector or becoming part of an unproductive political elite. The elite sets tax rates on skilled and unskilled workers to maximize its own welfare by extracting rents, thereby...

We evaluate the effect of technology, demographics and policy on the differential evolution of the skill premium and on the rise in education investment in France and the USA. We use a computable general equilibrium model with overlapping generations of individuals, and endogenous education...
