The dynamics of urban traffic congestion and the price of parking

Fosgerau, Mogens; Palma, André De - HAL - 2012

not be politically feasible. We study the benefit of a substitute: a parking fee at the workplace. An optimal time …-varying parking fee is charged at zero rate when there is queuing and eliminates queuing when the rate is non-zero. Within certain … limits, inability to charge some drivers for parking does not reduce the potential welfare gain. Drivers who cannot be …

The Costs of Agglomeration: Land Prices in French Cities

Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Gobillon, Laurent - HAL - 2013

We develop a new methodology to estimate the elasticity of urban costs with respect to city population using French land price data. Our preferred estimate, which handles a number of estimation concerns, stands at 0.041. Our approach also yields a number of intermediate outputs of independent...

Land use dynamics and the environment

Camacho, Carmen; Pérez-Barahona, Agustín - HAL - 2012

We build a benchmark framework to study optimal land use, encompassing land use activities and environmental degradation. We focus on the spatial externalities of land use as drivers of spatial patterns : even if land is immobile by nature, location's actions affect the whole space through...

Future expansion of agriculture and pasture acts toamplify atmospheric CO2 levels in response to fossilfuel and land-use change emissions

Gitz, Vincent; Ciais, Philippe - HAL - 2004

The expansion of crop and pastures to the detriment of forests results into an increase in atmospheric CO2. A first obvious cause is the loss of forest biomass and soil carbon during and after conversion. A second, generally ignored cause, is the reduction of the residence time of carbon when...

Ecological Fiscal Incentives and Spatial Strategic Interactions: the Case of the ICMS-E in the Brazilian state of Paraná

Sauquet, Alexandre; Marchand, Sébastien; FERES, José … - HAL - 2012

The ICMS-Ecológico is a fiscal transfer mechanism from states to municipalities, implemented in the early 1990's in Brazil, to reward municipalities for the creation and management of protected areas. This paper investigates the efficiency of this mechanism by testing for the presence of...

Calculation of land use price and land use claims for agriculture, transport and urban land use at national level

Boitier, Baptiste; Costa, Pascal Da; Mouel, Pierre Le; … - HAL - 2008

The current deliverable report has been prepared in the framework of PLUREL Work Package 1.1 (Economic Scenarios) by Paris 1 Université - Lab. ERASME. The implementation of four scenarios for the PLUREL project allows the description of a range of possible futures in order to evaluate...
