In a circular city model, I consider network design and pricing decisions for asingle fast transport connection that faces competition from a slower but betteraccessible transport mode. To access the fast transport network individuals haveto make complementary trips by slow mode. This fact has...

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...
