In der vorliegenden Studie überprüfen wir verschiedene Gebührenstrategien der Dualen System Deutschland AG (DSD) darauf hin, ob sie die pareto-effiziente Allokation in der Abfallwirtschaft implementieren. Dabei greifen wir auf eine disaggregierte Modellökonomie zurück, in der Material...

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag untersuchen wir auf der Grundlage eines statischen allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodells die Effizienz verschiedener Gebührenkonzepte einer Abfall-Management-Organisation. Diese wird von den Produzenten, die für die Verwertung und/oder Entsorgung der Verpackungsabfälle...

This paper studies the design of optimal utilitarian mechanisms for an excludable public good. Excludability provides a basis for making people pay for admissions; the payments can be used for redistribution and/or funding. Whereas previous work assumed that admissions are governed by the...

The manner in which governments charge mineral resource producers has been the subject of considerable debate. In particular, there is a continuing debate about whether royalties should be reduced or eliminated, the preferred alternative then being some variant of an income-based charge such as...

Fee discrimination is commonly used by marketplace platforms (e.g., Amazon, eBay, and Uber). To better understand how marketplace fee discrimination interacts with the hybrid platform business model, we model a marketplace platform that manages fees and categories across a continuum of retail...

This paper investigates optimal airport pricing when airlines provide imperfect substitutes products, and make decisions on capacity, scheduling and pricing. We show that the first-best toll per flight may be higher than the simple market-shares formula that were recently derived for Cournot...

Many public goods are characterized by rivalry and/or excludability. This paper introduces both non-excludable and excludable public inputs into a simple endogenous growth model. We derive the equilibrium growth rate and design the optimal tax and user-cost structure. Our results emphasize the...
