For a quarter century, a top priority in transportation economic theory has been to develop models of rush-hour traffic … dynamics that incorporate traffic jams (hypercongestion). The difficulty has been that "proper" models result in mathematical …

We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

We construct a dynamic model of a small open economy to analyze the effects of large energy subsidies. The model … includes domestic energy production and consumption, trade in energy at world market prices, as well as private and public … sector production. The model is calibrated to Egypt and used to study reforms such as reductions in energy subsidies with …

When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise if workers do not know where other … workers apply to (this affects network creation) and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider (this affects … network clearing). We show that those frictions and the wage mechanism are in general not independent. Equilibria that exhibit …
