Our main result is the … identification of the time-valuation effect of price discrimination, which can work in the opposite direction as the well …-known output effect on welfare. This time-valuation effect clearly explains why discriminating prices can improve welfare even when …

The paper uses two different concepts of travel time … that, for a given road link and given time of the day, the expected travel time is constant across all working days (rough … or weekdays (fine information: FI). For both definitions of variability, we find that the mean travel time is a good …
