Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2000

This paper studies urban sustainability from the perspective ofexternalities. We develop a general spatialequilibrium model of a monocentric city, in which two types ofexternalities occur. On the one hand, pollution inthe industrial centre leads to a spatially differentiateddeterioration of the...

Agglomeration Externalities and Localized Employment Growth

de Vor, Friso; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2008

This paper addresses the question to what extent the performance of industrial sites is affected by their local economic structure and accessibility. For this aim, we test for the existence of statistically significant relationships between agglomeration externalities (specialization, diversity,...

Regional Wage Differences in the Netherlands: Micro-Evidence on Agglomeration Externalities

Groot, Stefan P.T.; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Smit, Martijn - 2011

Based on micro-data on individual workers for the period 2000-2005, we show that wage differentials in the Netherlands are small but present. A large part of these differentials can be attributed to individual characteristics of workers. Remaining effects are partially explained by variations in...

Micro-Evidence on the Determinants of Innovation in The Netherlands: The Relative Importance of Absorptive Capacity and Agglomeration Externalities

Smit, Martijn J.; Abreu, Maria A.; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2010

This paper employs firm-level data to analyze the relative importance of firm characteristics and agglomeration externalities in explaining variation in innovation rates across firms. More specifically, we combine micro-data and census data to estimate the probability that a firm will introduce...

Regional Population-Employment Dynamics across Different Sectors of the Economy

de Graaff, Thomas; van Oort, Frank G.; Florax, Raymond … - 2011

An important subset of the literature on agglomeration externalities hypothesizes thatintrasectoral and intersectoral relations are endogenously determined in models of localand regional economic growth. Remarkably, structural adjustment models describing thespatio-temporal dynamics of...

Intermodal Competition in The London-Paris Passenger Market: High-Speed Rail and Air Transport

Behrens, Christiaan; Pels, Eric - 2009

This paper studies inter- and intramodal competition in the London-Paris passenger market. Using revealed preference data, we estimate nested and mixed multinomial logit models to examine passenger behaviour in the London-Paris market. We present a case study on the relocation of Eurostar...

Specification Tests for The Multinomial Logit Model Revisited: The Role of Alternative-Specific Constants

Rouwendal, Jan - 2018

This paper shows that Hausman-McFadden and related tests for the multinomial logit model are not informative about failure of IIA, but only about specification error in the deterministic part of the utilities attached to choice alternatives. It is shown that the multinomial logit cannot be...

A Stochastic Model of Congestion caused by Speed Differences

Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T.; Rietveld, Piet; … - 2000

. The difference in desired speeds causes congestion, because slow drivers force fast drivers to reduce their speed. An … interesting aspect of this type of congestion is that results with respect to tolling are very different from those of the …

Product Differentiation on Roads: Second-Best Congestion Pricing with Heterogeneity under Public and Private Ownership

Verhoef, Erik T.; Small, Kenneth A. - 1999

We explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on acongested road network with heterogeneous users and allowing for elasticdemand. Heterogeneity is represented by a continuum of values of time. Thenetwork consists of both serial and parallel links, which allows us to...

The Economics of Airport Congestion Pricing

Pels, Eric; Verhoef, Erik - 2003

Conventional economic wisdom suggests that congestion pricing would be an appropriate response to cope with the growing … congestion levels currently experienced at many airports. Several characteristics of aviation markets, however, may make naive … congestion prices equal to the value of marginal travel delays a non-optimal response. This paper develops a model of airport …
