causal effect of accidents on traffic congestion and vice versa. The estimation draws on panel data methods that have …The goal of this paper is the estimation of the effect of accidents on traffic congestion and vice versa. In order to … do this, I use "big data" of highway traffic and accidents in England for the period 2007-2013. The data exhibit some …

Non-recurrent congestion is frequently caused by accidents and other incidents. We estimate the causal effect of … incident duration on drivers’ time losses through changes in non-recurrent road congestion on Dutch highways. We demonstrate … that incident duration has a strong positive, but concave, effect on non-recurrent congestion. The duration elasticity of …

29 European countries during the period 1961- 2011. We have included different measures of highways and railways on … suburbanization and we have estimated their joint effect using a panel IV approach. Our main specification, where we jointly estimate … the effect of highways and railways, suggest that an additional high- way ray displaced approximately 6% of the central …

Transportation economists apply different labor supply models when studying anti-congestion policy: (i) endogenous … outcome of anti-congestion policies that change the relative cost of labor supply margins, and, thus, may affect decisions on … presence of other taxes when there is a congestion externality. We find surprisingly strong differences in quantity and sign …
