Atomistic Congestion Tolls at Concentrated Airports : Seeking a Unified View in the Internalization Debate
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2007
The goal of this paper is to bring some unity to the theoretical side of the debate on internalization of airport congestion by showing that all the literature's theoretical results can be derived within one simple and unified framework. The analysis starts by replicating the results of...

Slot-Based Approaches to Airport Congestion Management
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2008
This paper analyzes slot-based approaches to management of airport congestion, using a model where airlines are asymmetric and internalize airport congestion. Under these circumstances, optimal congestion tolls differ across carriers, and since a slot-sale regime (with its uniform slot price)...

Convenient Flight Connections vs. Airport Congestion - Modeling the 'Rolling Hub'
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2015
This paper provides the first analysis of the trade-off between convenient flight connections and airport congestion. A continuous spatial model illustrates this trade-off in a framework where a small gap between flight operating times raises congestion while also shortening a connecting...

Falk, Armin; Meier, Stephan; Zehnder, Christian - 2021
Social preference research has fundamentally changed the way economists think about many important economic and social phenomena. However, the empirical foundation of social preferences is largely based on laboratory experiments with self-selected students as participants. This is potentially...

Lionel Robbins : A Methodological Reappraisal
Resende, Marcelo; Zeidan, Rodrigo M. - 2021
Lionel Robbins contributions are often discussed in terms of two main aspects. First, the delineation of the scope of economics in terms of decision making conditional on scarcity. Second, a more methodological concern with respect to scientific neutrality and the possibility of meaningful...

The Way in Which an Experiment is Conducted is Unbelievably Important : On the Experimentation Practices of Economists and Psychologists
Ortmann, Andreas - 2010
To discuss experimental results without discussing how they came about makes sense when the results are robust to the way experiments are conducted. Experimental results, however, are – arguably more often than not – sensitive to numerous design and implementation characteristics such as the...

Reactivity in Economic Science
Frey, Bruno S. - 2017
There is a fundamental difference between the natural and the social sciences due to reactivity. This difference remains even in the age of Artificially Intelligent Learning Machines and Big Data. Many academic economists take it as a matter of course that economics should become a natural...
