Mapping educational disparities in life-cycle consumption

Hougaard Jensen, Svend Erik; Sigurður Páll Ólafsson; … - 2022

changes in disposable income around the country's financial crisis in 2008, to plot the life-cycle path of consumption and … income for different education groups and to estimate the level of consumption smoothing. We split households into three … educated engage in more consumption smoothing than those without a university degree. We also construct a measure for marginal …

Scarcity and consumption priorities

Dahan, Momi; Sayag, Doron - 2023

This paper focuses on whether households facing economic scarcity tend to change consumption priorities as measured by … feast-related goods, indicating a "feast and famine" consumption strategy. Nevertheless, spending on food with label claims …

Efficiency of decentralized road investment and pricing in a multi-jurisdictional city with spillovers

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2013

This paper shows that the inefficiency of fiscal decentralization in the presence of spillovers, a main tenet of the decentralization literature, is overturned in a particular transportation context. In a monocentric city where road (bridge) capacity is financed by budget-balancing user fees,...

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...

Urban congestion charging : theory, practice and environmental consequences

Santos, Georgina; Newbery, David M. G. - 2001

The theory of road pricing developed for single links suggests time andlocation varying charges equal to the marginal congestion cost at the efficientlevel of traffic. The second-best network counterpart is derived, but would beinfeasible to implement. Cordon tolls are feasible, and their...

A model of rush-hour traffic in an isotropic downtown area

Arnott, Richard; Kokoza, Anatolii; Naji, Mehdi - 2015

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 intractabilty, while none of the proposed...

Parking and urban form

Brueckner, Jan K.; Franco, Sofia F. - 2015

This paper analyzes the provision of residential parking in a monocentric city, with the ultimate goal of appraising the desirability and effects of regulations such as a minimum-parking requirement (MPR) per dwelling. The analysis considers three different regimes for provision of parking...

A tale of two tails : commuting and the fuel price response in driving

Gillingham, Kenneth; Munk-Nielsen, Anders - 2017

Pricing greenhouse gases is widely understood as the most efficient approach for mitigating climate change, yet distributional effects hamper political acceptance. These distributional effects are especially important in transport, the fastest growing sector for greenhouse gas emissions. Using...

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...
