Frequency of services and vehicle size are important policyinstruments of railway companies. Extending Mohring's basic'square root model' for frequencies, we arrive at more generalformulations for frequency, vehicle size and price underalternative regimes of welfare and profit optimisation. It...

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...

Reimbursement of commuting costs by employers has attracted little attention from economists. We develop a theoretical … frictions and show that partial reimbursement of commuting cost will in general be an element of the recruitment policy. The … alternative explanation that stresses the role of tax incentives is unlikely to provide a full explanation of the commuting costs …
