Indirect Welfare Effects of Price Changes and Cost-Benefit Analysis

Rouwendal, Jan - 2002

The effects of a policy measure often reach the consumer only after one or more intermediatesteps, for instance because the measure lowers the cost of an input for an industry producinga consumer good. This paper is concerned with the question how to measure such indirect effectscorrectly under...

Transformations of Industrial Heritage: Insights into External Effects on House Prices

van Duijn, Mark; Rouwendal, Jan; Boersema, Richard - 2014

Local policy makers seek ways to deal with abandoned industrial heritage in their jurisdictions. Much is demolished, but in some cases considerable investments are made to preserve the cultural aspects of industrial sites. The renewal plans are usually designed to stimulate urban renewal in the...

Train Commuters' Scheduling Preferences: Evidence from a Large-Scale Peak Avoidance Experiment

Peer, Stefanie; Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik - 2015

collected during large-scale peak avoidance experiment conducted in the Netherlands, in which participants could earn monetary … rewards for traveling outside peak hours. The experiment included ca. 1000 participants and lasted for about 6 months. Holders … of an annual train pass were invited to join the experiment, and a customized smartphone app was used to measure the …

Transport Investment Appraisal and the Environment

Nijkamp, Peter; Ubbels, Barry; Verhoef, Erik - 2002

This review considers the role of environmental effects in transport investment appraisal, mainly from the perspective of cost-benefit analysis, the most widely adopted appraisal technique. Although the basic principles of CBA are straightforward, several complications are identified that may...

The Costs and Benefits of Providing Open Space in Cities

Rouwendal, Jan; van der Straaten, J. Willemijn - 2008

Although many researchers have investigated the value of open space in cities, few of them have compared them to the costs of providing this amenity. In this paper, we use the monocentric model of a city to derive a simple cost-benefit rule for the optimal provision of open space. The rule is...

A Stochastic Model of Congestion caused by Speed Differences

Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T.; Rietveld, Piet; … - 2000

We study interaction between the trips of two types of drivers on a two-lane road who differ by their desired speeds. 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...

Time-Varying Tolls in a Dynamic Model of Road Traffic Congestion with Elastic Demand

Verhoef, Erik - 1997

In this paper, a dynamic model of road traffic congestion is presented, with an elastic overall demand for morning peak road usage, and with the congestion technology used being 'flow congestion'. It is demonstrated that in such a case, the optimal time-varying toll should include a 'flat',...

Congestion caused by Speed Differences

Verhoef, Erik; Rouwendal, Jan; Rietveld, Piet - 1997

In this paper, we investigate congestion caused by differences in desired or possible speeds. Especially outside peak hours, speed differences are probably one of the most important reasons for congestion. Although the model setting, with one lane and no overtaking, may seem simple at first...

Time, Speeds, Flows and Densities in Static Models of Road Traffic Congestion and Congestion Pricing

Verhoef, Erik - 1997

This paper studies some of the properties and fundamentals of static models of road traffic congestion that have triggered much debate in the literature. The first part of the paper focuses in particular on the difficulties arising with the backward-bending cost curve in the context of...

The Adoption of Energy Efficiency Enhancing Technologies

Verhoef, Erik; Nijkamp, Peter - 1997

This paper analyses the adoption of energy-efficiency enhancing technologies by heterogeneous firms. The fact that energy use does not only cause external environmental costs through pollution, but also directly affects the profitability of the firm and hence its behaviour on input and output...
