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...

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 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...

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...

The political economy of cordon tolls

De Borger, Bruno L.; Russo, Antonio - 2015

This paper studies the political economy of cordon tolls, the most common form of road pricing in cities. We consider a monocentric city inhabited by renters and resident-landowners. A cordon toll raises the rental price of land within the cordon, and it reduces rents outside this area. Hence,...

Rush hours and urbanization

Seidel, Tobias; Wickerath, Jan - 2019

We use a spatial general equilibrium model with potential commuting of workers between their place of work and their place of residence to analyze the effects of rush hours on the spatial allocation of employment and population, average labor productivity and the housing market. Abolishing...
