Agents involved in the formation of a social or economic network typically face uncertainty about the benefits of creating a link. However, the interplay of such uncertainty and risk attitudes has been neglected in the network formation literature. We propose a dynamic network formation model...

. 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 …

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...

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 …

In this paper we study how congestion and residential movingbehaviour are interrelated using a two-region job search …. This choice affects the external costs ofcommuting due to congestion. The welfare maximizing road tax is derived ….We demonstrate that road pricing may not only reduce congestion but alsoincrease total residential moving costs in the economy. One …

This holds … regardless of the leader's internalization of congestion in the unregulated equilibrium, and regardless of the assumed demand …

We analyse the behaviour of market participants in a multi-modal commuter network where roads are not priced, but public transport has a usage fee, which is set while taking the effects on the roads into account. In particular, we analyse the difference between markets with a monopolistic public...
