Why Congestion Tolling Could be Good for the Consumer : The Effects of Heterogeneity in the Values of Schedule Delay and Time on the Effects of Tolling
van den Berg, Vincent A.C; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2012
In studying congestion tolling, it is important to account for heterogeneity in preferences of drivers, as ignoring it can bias the welfare gains. We analyse the effects of tolling, in the bottleneck model, with continuous heterogeneity in the value of time and schedule delay. The welfare gain...

Using Happiness Surveys to value Intangibles; the Case of Airport Noise
van Praag, Bernard M.S.; Baarsma, B.E. - 2004
We assess the monetary value of the noise damage, caused by aircraft noise nuisance around Amsterdam Airport, as the sum of hedonic house price differentials and a residual cost component. The residual costs are assessed from a survey, including an ordinal life satisfaction scale, on which...

Accident Externality of Driving: Evidence from the London Congestion Charge
Tang, Cheng Keat; van Ommeren, Jos - 2020
This paper estimates the marginal accident externality of driving in Central London by exploiting variation in traffic flow induced by the London Congestion Charge Zone using an instrumental variable approach. The charge attributed to a 9.4% reduction in traffic flow, which resulted in a less...

Competing Recombinant Technologies for Environmental Innovation
Zeppini, Paolo; van den Bergh, Jeroen C.J.M. - 2010
This article presents a model of sequential decisions about investments in environmentally dirty and clean technologies, which extends the path-dependence framework of Arthur (1989). This allows us to evaluate if and how an economy locked into a dirty technology can be unlocked and move towards...
