Robot cars and dynamic bottleneck congestion : the effects on capacity, value of time and preference heterogeneity
Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015 - This version: 9 June 2015
"Robot cars" are cars that allow for automated driving. They can drive closer together than human driven "normal cars" and thereby raise road capacity. Obtaining a robot car instead of a normal car can also be expected to lower the userś value of time losses (VOT), because travel time can be...

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. Wit homogeneous …

Polynomial time algorithms for some multi-level lot-sizing problems with production capacities
Hoesel, Stan van; Romeijn, H. Edwin; Romero Morales, … - 2002
We consider a model for a serial supply chain in which production, inventory, and transportation decisions are integrated, in the presence of production capacities and for different transportation cost functions. The model we study is a generalization of the traditional single-item economic...

Pivotal suppliers and market power in experimental supply function competition
Brandts, Jordi; Reynolds, Stanley S.; Schram, Arthur - 2011
In the process of regulatory reform in the electric power industry, the mitigation of market power is one of the basic problems regulators have to deal with. We use experimental data to study the sources of market power with supply function competition, akin to the competition in wholesale...

Place-based policies, firm productivity and displacement effects : evidence from Shenzhen, China
Koster, Hans; Cheng, Fang Fang; Gerritse, Michiel; … - 2016 - This version: 31 March 2016
We analyse the economic impacts of place-based policies that aim to enhance economic development by stimulating growth and productivity of firms in designated areas. We use unique panel data from China with information on manufacturing firms’ production factors, productivity and location, and...

Reciprocity and incentive pay in the workplace
Dur, Robert A. J.; Non, Jan Adrianus; Roelfsema, Hein - 2008
We study optimal incentive contracts for workers who are reciprocal to management attention. When neither worker's effort nor manager's attention can be contracted, a double moral-hazard problem arises, implying that reciprocal workers should be given weak financial incentives. In a...
