Peak-Hour Road Congestion Pricing : Experimental Evidence and Equilibrium Implications

Kreindler, Gabriel E. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Developing country megacities suffer from severe road traffic congestion, yet the level of congestion is not a direct measure of equilibrium inefficiency. I study the peak-hour traffic congestion equilibrium in Bangalore. To measure travel preferences, I use a model of departure time choice to...

Global Transportation Decarbonization

Rapson, David S.; Muehlegger, Erich - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Replacing fossil fuels in the name of decarbonization is necessary but will be particularly difficult due to their as-yet unrivaled bundle of attributes: abundance, ubiquity, energy density, transportability and cost. There is a growing commitment to electrification as the dominant...

Electric Vehicles and the Energy Transition : Unintended Consequences of a Common Retail Rate Design

Bailey, Megan R.; Brown, David P.; Meyers, Erica; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) raises new challenges for electricity systems. We implement a field experiment to assess the effect of time-of-use (TOU) pricing and managed charging on EV charging behavior. We find that while TOU pricing is effective at shifting EV charging into off-peak...

The Spatial Impacts of a Massive Rail Disinvestment Program : The Beeching Axe

Gibbons, Steve; Heblich, Stephan; Pinchbeck, Edward W. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

This paper investigates the reversibility of the effects of transport infrastructure investments, based on a programme that removed much of the rail network in Britain during the mid-20th Century. We find that a 10% loss in rail access between 1950 and 1980 caused a persistent 3% decline in...
