Fostering the acceptance of congestion charges: Experimental evidence for Europe

Frondel, Manuel; Helmers, Viola; Sommer, Stephan - 2025

Although there is ample empirical evidence that congestion charges can effectively reduce traffic congestion and its detrimental effects, this instrument has only been implemented in a handful European cities. On the basis of a randomized information experiment that was embedded in a survey...

Pricing, Capacity Choice and Financing in Transportation Networks

Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2003

This paper explores the interrelations between pricing, capacity choice and financingin transportation networks. It builds on the famous Mohring-Harwitz result on self-financing ofoptimally designed roads under optimal congestion pricing, and specifically investigates itsins and outs in a...

Second-best Pricing for Imperfect Substitutes in Urban Networks

Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2003

This paper considers second-best pricing as it arises through incomplete coverage of full networks. The main principles are first reviewed by considering the classic two-route problem and some extensions that have been studied more recently. In most of these studies the competing routes are...

Self-Financing Roads

Verhoef, Erik T.; Mohring, Herbert - 2007

Mohring and Harwitz (1962) showed that, under certain conditions, an optimally designed and priced road would generate user toll revenues just sufficient to cover its capital costs. Several scholars subsequently explored the robustness of that finding. This paper briefly summarizes further...

Pricing, Capacity and Long-run Cost Functions for First-best and Second-best Network Problems

Verhoef, Erik T.; Koh, Andrew; Shepherd, Simon - 2008

This paper considers the use of ‘long-run cost functions’ for congested networks in solving second-best network problems, in which capacity and tolls are instruments. We derive analytical results both for general cost and demand functions and for specific functional forms, namely Bureau of...
