interacts with a competitive fringe, charging the congestion toll that is derived for fully atomistic carriers to both leader … dominated by a single firm. Unlike much of the previous literature, we combine a dynamic (bottleneck) model of congestion and a … and fringe yields the first-best outcome. This holds regardless of the leader's internalization of congestion in the …

. The difference in desired speeds causes congestion, because slow drivers force fast drivers to reduce their speed. An … interesting aspect of this type of congestion is that results with respect to tolling are very different from those of the …

The model integrates twoarchetype congestion technologies used in the economics literature …: 'static flow congestion',originating in the works of Pigou, and 'dynamic bottleneck congestion', pioneered byVickrey. Because … 'hypercongestion' can arise as adynamic -transitional and local- equilibrium phenomenon. Also dynamic toll schedules areexplored. It is …

This paper analyzes the effects of price differentiation and discrimination by a monopolistic transport operator, which sets fares in a congestible network. Using three models, with different spatial structures, we describe the operator’s optimal strategies in an unregulated market, a market...

We explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on acongested road network with heterogeneous users and allowing for elasticdemand. Heterogeneity is represented by a continuum of values of time. Thenetwork consists of both serial and parallel links, which allows us to...

In this paper we study how congestion and residential movingbehaviour are interrelated using a two-region job search …. This choice affects the external costs ofcommuting due to congestion. The welfare maximizing road tax is derived ….We demonstrate that road pricing may not only reduce congestion but alsoincrease total residential moving costs in the economy. One …

Non-recurrent congestion is frequently caused by accidents and other incidents. We estimate the causal effect of … incident duration on drivers’ time losses through changes in non-recurrent road congestion on Dutch highways. We demonstrate … that incident duration has a strong positive, but concave, effect on non-recurrent congestion. The duration elasticity of …
