Estimating water demand in urban Indonesia : a maximum likelihood approach to block rate pricing data

Rietveld, Piet; Rouwendal, Jan; Zwart, Bert - 1997

In this paper the Burtless and Hausman model is used to estimate water demand in Salatiga, Indonesia. Other statistical models, as OLS and IV, are found to be inappropiate. A topic, which does not seem to appear in previous studies, is the fact that the density function of the loglikelihood can...

Recruitment in a monopsonistic labour market : will travel costs be reimbursed?

Rouwendal, Jan; Ommeren, Jos van - 2008 - This version: 3-9-2008

Reimbursement of commuting costs by employers has attracted little attention from economists. We develop a theoretical model of a monopsonistic employer who determines an optimal recruitment policy in a spatial labour market with search frictions and show that partial reimbursement of commuting...

Urban expansion or clustered deconcentration?

Vermeulen, Wouter; Rouwendal, Jan - 2008

How should urban containment and the diversion of households to nearby residential areas be evaluated from a welfare economic perspective? Assuming the existence of a negative externality of city size, we develop a concise general equilibrium model for a mother city and a satellite. This...

Give or take? : rewards vs. charges for a congested bottleneck

Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T.; Knockaert, Jasper - 2010 - This version: September 2, 2010

This paper analyzes the possibilities to relieve congestion using rewards instead of taxes, as well as combinations of rewards and taxes. The model considers a Vickrey-ADL model of bottleneck congestion with endogenous scheduling. With inelastic demand, a fine (time-varying) reward is equivalent...

Bottleneck congestion : differentiating the coarse charge

Knockaert, Jasper; Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010

The traditional bottleneck model for road congestion promotes the implementation of a triangular, fully time varying, charge as the optimal solution for the road congestion externality. However, cognitive and technological barriers put a practical limit to the degree of differentiation real...

A structural model of traffic congestion

Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2001

Conventional economic models of traffic congestion assume that therelation between road use and speed is a technical one. In this paper wederive the speed-flow relationship from more fundamental considerationsconcerning driving behaviour. We develop a structural model in which driverschoose...

A dynamic model of commutes

Rouwendal, Jan; Vlist, Arno J. van der - 2002

This paper studies the interaction between job mobility and housing mobility by considering the duration of commutes. Conventional models assume that the employrnent location has priority over the residentiallocation and that the latter is adapted to the former. This implies that the duration of...

Speed choice, car following theory and congestion tolling

Rouwendal, Jan - 2002 - This version: September 25, 2002

This paper provides a link between car following theory and the economic theoryof road congestion by means of a theory … of speed choice. According to this theory speedchoice is based on a trade-off between the benefits (shorter travel time … elaborating this relationship a number of car-following models can be derived fromthis theory of speed choice.
