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...

Tenure and Experience Effects on Wages : A Theory
Burdett, Ken; Coles, Melvyn G. - 2021
This paper investigates equilibria in a labor market where firms post wage/tenure contracts and risk-averse workers, both employed and unemployed, search for better paid job opportunities. Different firms typically offer different contracts. Workers accumulate general human capital through...

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...

Implementation of Communication Equilibria by Correlated Cheap Talk : The Two-Player Case
Vida, Peter - 2011
We show that essentially every communication equilibrium of any finite Bayesian game with two players can be implemented as a strategic form correlated equilibrium of an extended game, in which before choosing actions as in the Bayesian game, the players engage in a possibly infinitely long (but...

Ageing, Government Budgets, Retirement, and Growth
Gonzalez-Eiras, Martín - 2011
We analyze the short and long run effects of demographic ageing - increased longevity and reduced fertility - on per-capita growth. The OLG model captures direct effects, working through adjustments in the savings rate, labor supply, and capital deepening, and indirect effects, working through...

Emotions in Litigation Contests
Baumann, Florian - 2011
This paper introduces the concept of emotions into the standard litigation contest. Positive (negative) emotions emerge when litigants win (lose) at trial and are dependent in particular on the level of defendant fault. Our findings establish that standard results of litigation contests change...
