We analyze the welfare effects of part-day teleworking on road traffic congestion in the context of Vickrey's dynamic … bottleneck model.

We show that …

In downtown areas, what proportion of curbside should be allocated to parking? In contrast to most previous work on the economics of parking, this paper focuses on optimal curbside parking capacity in both first-best (where pricing is efficient) and second-best (where pricing is inefficient)...
