Cordon Tolling in a City with Congested Bridges

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2014

This paper analyzes cordon tolling using a simple model where space is discrete rather than continuous, with commuting costs incurred only on two congested bridges. The first-best regime requires tolls on both bridges, whereas only the inner bridge is tolled under the cordon-toll regime. While...

International Student Migration : A Partial Identification Analysis

Meango, Romuald - 2014

This paper studies the decision made by a family to invest in student migration. We propose an empirical structural decision model which reflects the importance of both the return to the investment and the budgetary constraint in the choice of the family. We circumvent the problem of endogeneity...

Commuting Subsidies With Two Transport Modes

Borck, Rainald; Wrede, Matthias - 2021

We study a simple model of commuting subsidies with two transport modes. City residents choose where to live and which mode to use. When all land is owned by city residents, one group gains from subsidies what the other loses. With absentee landownership, city residents as a group gain at the...

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...

The Stability of Downtown Parking and Traffic Congestion

Arnott, Richard J.; Inci, Eren - 2021

In classical traffic flow theory, there are two velocities associated with a given level of traffic flow. Following Vickrey, economists have termed travel at the higher speed congested travel and at the lower speed hypercongested travel. Since the publication of Walters. classic paper, there has...

Patient Mobility, Health Care Quality and Welfare

Brekke, Kurt Richard; Levaggi, Rosella; Siciliani, Luigi; … - 2021

Patient mobility is a key issue in the EU who recently passed a new law on patients’ right to EU-wide provider choice …. In this paper we use a Hotelling model with two regions that differ in technology to study the impact of patient mobility … on health care quality, health care financing and welfare. We show that without patient mobility quality is too low (high …

Urbanity

Ahlfeldt, Gabriel M. - 2014

I define a composite amenity that provides aesthetic and consumption value to local residents: Urbanity. A novel data set of geo-tagged photos shared in internet communities serves as a proxy for urbanity. From the spatial pattern of house prices and photos I identify the value of urbanity in...

Public Transport and Urban Pollution

Borck, Rainald - 2017

The paper studies the effect of public transport policies on urban pollution. It uses a quantitative equilibrium model with residential choice and mode choice. Pollution comes from commuting and residential energy use. The model parameters are calibrated to replicate key variables for American...
