Linde, Jona; Sonnemans, Joep - 2012
Social preference models were originally constructed to explain two things: why people spend money to affect the earnings of others and why the income of others influences reported happiness. We test these models in a novel experimental situation where participants face a risky decision that...

Private Road Networks with Uncertain Demand
Fu, Xinying; van den Berg, Vincent; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015
There has been wide interest in private supply of roads as a solution to traffic congestion. We study its efficiency under demand uncertainty: we solve for equilibrium and optimum as benchmarks, and evaluate the efficiency of possible regulatory policies for private road operators. We obtain...

Inequity in the Face of Death
Garcia-Gomez, Pilar; Schokkaert, Erik; Ourti, Tom Van; … - 2012
We apply the theory of inequality in opportunity to measure inequity in mortality. Ourempirical work is based on a rich dataset for the Netherlands (1998-2007), linking informationabout mortality, health events and lifestyles. We show that distinguishing between differentchannels via which...

Measurement of Inequity in Health Care with Heterogeneous Response of Use to Need
van de Poel, Ellen; van Doorslaer, Eddy; O'Donnell, Owen - 2011
We propose a method of measuring and decomposing inequity in health care utilisation that allows for heterogeneity in the use-need relationship. This makes explicit inequity that derives from unequal treatment response to variation in need, as well as that due to differential effects of non-need...

Composition Properties in the River Claims Problem
Ansink, Erik; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2013
In a river claims problem, agents are ordered linearly, and they have both an initial water endowment as well as a claim to the total water resource. We provide characterizations of two solutions to this problem, using Composition properties which have particularly relevant interpretations for...
