Convenient flight connections vs. airport congestion : modeling the 'Rolling Hub'

Brueckner, Jan K.; Lin, Ming Hsin - 2015

congestion while also shortening a connecting passenger's layover time. When the passenger's cost per unit of layover time rises … discrete spatial model, where flights congest one another only if they operate in the same discrete period, makes this layover …: the carriers concentrate their flights in different periods when the layover cost is high and deconcentrate them otherwise …

Incentive regulation, investments and technological change

Vogelsang, Ingo - 2010

Based on an idiosyncratic reading of the literature I propose intermediate (rather than tight or soft) regulation for balancing investment incentives with allocative efficiency and competition objectives. Intermediate regulation is compatible with incentive regulation and helps lengthening the...

Product unbundling in the travel industry : the economics of airline bag fees

Brueckner, Jan K.; Lee, Darin N.; Picard, Pierre M.; … - 2013

This paper provides theory and evidence on airline bag fees, offering insights into a real-world case of product unbundling. The theory predicts that an airlineś fares should fall when it introduces a bag fee, but that the full trip price (the bag fee plus the new fare) could either rise or...

Market concentration and product variety under spatial competition : evidence from retail gasoline : presented at CESifo Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Recent Developments in...

Goetz, Georg; Gugler, Klaus - 2004

We show that for a spatially differentiated economy reduced product variety is the likely outcome of mergers except in cases where exit costs in relation to (outlet-specific) fixed costs are high. Our empirical analysis of the Austrian retail gasoline market confirms that increases in...

Does telecommuting reduce commuting emissions?

Marz, Waldemar; Sen, Suphi - 2021

The long-term trend toward more work from home due to digitization has found a strong new driver, the Covid-19 pandemic. The profound change in urban mobility patterns supports the often-held view that reducing the number of commuting trips can lower carbon emissions to a certain degree. We...

Equilibrium trade in automobile markets

Gillingham, Kenneth; Iskhakov, Fedor; Munk-Nielsen, Anders - 2019

We introduce a computationally tractable dynamic equilibrium model of the automobile market where new and used cars of multiple types (e.g. makes/models) are traded by heterogeneous consumers. Prices and quantities are determined endogenously to equate supply and demand for all car types and...

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...

Ending Covid-19 vaccine apartheid through vaccine donations : the influence of supply chains

Goel, Rajeev K.; Nelson, Michael A. - 2023

We study determinants of COVID-19 vaccine donations from recipients' perspective, especially considering supply chain and institutional weakness (corruption) aspects. Results, based on data from more than 131 nations, show that strengthened supply chains reduced donations. The impacts of...

Internalization of airport congestion : a network analysis

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2002

The likely resurgence of air traffic in the U.S. means that airport congestion is a problem that must soon be confronted by policy makers. As part of their policy response, it is probable that some form of congestion pricing will be imposed at selected U.S. airports in the relatively near...
