Non-marginal cost-benefit analysis and the tyranny of discounting
Vermeylen, Koen - 2013
This paper uses the Kaldor-Hicks compensation principle to compute the present value (PV) of a non-marginal future event. Three theoretical results stand out: First, decreasing returns to capital create a wedge between the PV of future generations' willingness to pay (WTP) and the PV of their...

An inexact science : accounting for measurement error and downward bias in mode and location choice models
Donovan, Stuart; Graaff, Thomas de; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2023
Using commuting data for Brisbane, Australia, we find that accounting for measurement error in travel times causes the magnitude of parameters in mode and location choice models to increase approximately three-fold and 30-40%, respectively. Errors appear to be somewhat systematic, with travel...

Second best decision making of railway operators : how to fix fares, frequency and vehicle size
Rietveld, Piet; Woudenberg, Stefan van - 2007
Railway networks are characterised by variations in demand on different links. Optimal strategies therefore call for a differentiated treatment of fares, frequencies and vehicle sizes in various links. However, for several reasons, railway operators may apply uniform levels for these decision...
