passengers exhibit a higher time valuation, and a less price-elastic demand, than leisure passengers. 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 …

In linear-quadratic control (LQC) problems with singular control cost matrix and/or singular transition matrix, we derive a reduction of the dimension of the Riccati matrix, simplifying iteration and solution. Employing a novel transformation, we show that, under a certain rank condition, the...

A monopolist in public transport may oversupply frequency relative to the social optimum, as van Reeven (2008) demonstrates with homogeneous consumers. This result generalizes for heterogeneous consumers who know the timetable. Whether a monopolist oversupplies or undersupplies frequency depends...
