Governmental competition in road charging and capacity choice
Ubbels, Barry; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2007 - This version: 10/09/07
In this study we have analysed policy interactions between an urban and a regional government which have different objectives (welfare of its own citizens) and two policy instruments (toll and capacity) available. Using a simulation model, we investigated the welfare consequences of the various...

Does improving public transport decrease car ownership? : evidence from the Copenhagen metropolitan area
Mulalic, Ismir; Pilegaard Hansen, Ninette; Rouwendal, Jan - 2015
Car ownership is lower in urban areas, which is probably related to the availability of better public transport. Better public transport thus may offer the possibility to relieve the many problems (congestion, health, and parking) associated with the presence of cars in urban areas. To...

Tax competition under minimum rates : the case of European diesel excises
Evers, Michiel; Mooij, Ruud A. de; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2004
This paper estimates Nash-type fiscal reaction functions for European governments competing for revenue from diesel excises. It appears that European governments strategically set their excise levels by responding to their neighbors’ tax rates. This provides evidence for the presence of tax...

The impact of rail transport on real estate prices : an empirical analysis of the Dutch housing market
Debrezion, Ghebreegziabiher; Pels, Eric; Rietveld, Piet - 2006
A hedonic pricing model is estimated to analyse the impact of railways on house prices in terms of distance to railway station, frequency of railway services and distance to the railway line. Correcting for a wide range of other determinants of house prices we find that dwellings very close to a...

The effect of railway travel on urban spatial structure
Dröes, Martijn I.; Rietveld, Piet - 2014
We examine the effect of railway travel on urban spatial structure in a polycentric urban land use model. We focus on the role of access to the railway network. We find that if the number of train stations is limited, the degree of urbanization is higher around train stations, but the effect of...

Do highway widenings reduce congestion?
Ossokina, Ioulia V.; Ommeren, Jos van; Mourik, Henk van - 2022
Highway construction occurs nowadays mainly through widening of existing roads rather than building new roads. This paper documents that highway widenings considerably reduce congestion in the short run, defined here as 6 years. Using longitudinal microdata from highway detector loops in the...

Public transport investments, commuting and gentrification : evidence from Copenhagen
Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - 2022
This paper considers the impact of the introduction of a metro network in the Copenhagen metropolitan area. Using travel surveys from years before and after the opening of the metro network, we observe a significant change in travel times, speeds and mode choice for commutes that can completely...

Discrete choice models for commuting interactions
Rouwendal, Jan; Levkovich, Or; Mulalic, Ismir - 2017 - This version: July 27, 2017
An emerging quantitative spatial economics literature models commuting interactions by a gravity equation that is mathematically equivalent to a multinomial logit model. This model is widely viewed as restrictive because of the independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) property that links...

Productivity effects of an exogenous improvement in transport infrastructure : accessibility and the Great Belt Bridge
De Borger, Bruno L.; Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - 2019
Most studies of the effects of transport infrastructure on the performance of individual firms have focused on marginal expansions of the rail or highway network over time. In this paper, we study the short-run effects of a large discrete shock in the quality of transport infrastructure, viz....
