The impact of highways on population redistribution : the role of land development restrictions

Levkovich, Or; Rouwendal, Jan; Ommeren, Jos van - 2017

We study the role of land development restrictions for the effects of highway expansion on the spatial distribution of population. We demonstrate that these restrictions strongly interfered with the effects of highways in the Netherlands. Introducing an IV approach to address endogenous...

A structural model of traffic congestion

Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2001

Conventional economic models of traffic congestion assume that therelation between road use and speed is a technical one. In this paper wederive the speed-flow relationship from more fundamental considerationsconcerning driving behaviour. We develop a structural model in which driverschoose...

Speed choice, car following theory and congestion tolling

Rouwendal, Jan - 2002 - This version: September 25, 2002

This paper provides a link between car following theory and the economic theoryof road congestion by means of a theory … of speed choice. According to this theory speedchoice is based on a trade-off between the benefits (shorter travel time … elaborating this relationship a number of car-following models can be derived fromthis theory of speed choice. Wit homogeneous …

Give or take? : rewards vs. charges for a congested bottleneck

Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T.; Knockaert, Jasper - 2010 - This version: September 2, 2010

This paper analyzes the possibilities to relieve congestion using rewards instead of taxes, as well as combinations of rewards and taxes. The model considers a Vickrey-ADL model of bottleneck congestion with endogenous scheduling. With inelastic demand, a fine (time-varying) reward is equivalent...
