Bakens, Jessie; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Mulder, Peter - 2016

Ethnicity has become an increasingly important factor in neighborhood formation in many developed economies. We specify a gravity model for neighborhoods to assess the role of ethnicity in intra-urban residential relocations. Migration patterns of different ethnic groups are hypothesized to...

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...

Combining micro and macro unemployment duration data

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Klaauw, Bas van der - 1998

We combine micro and macro unemployment duration data to study the effects of the business cycle on the outflow from unemployment. We allow the cycle to affect individual exit probabilities of unemployed workers as well as the composition of the total inflow into unemployment. We estimate the...

One-way flow networks : the role of heterogeneity

Galeotti, Andrea - 2004

I study a one-way flow connections model in which players are heterogeneous with respect to values and the costs of establishing a link. I first show that values and costs asymmetries are crucial in determining the level of connectedness of a network. Interestingly, unconnected equilibria are...
