Spatial frictions
Behrens, Kristian; Mion, Giordano; Murata, Yasusada; … - 2013
The world is replete with spatial frictions. Shipping goods across cities entails trade frictions. Commuting within cities causes urban frictions. How important are these frictions in shaping the spatial economy? We develop and quantify a novel framework to address this question at three...

Competition in Multi-Modal Transport Networks : A Dynamic Approach
van der Weijde, Adriaan - 2012
We analyse the behaviour of market participants in a multi-modal commuter network where roads are not priced, but …, and markets in which separate operators own each public transport link. To do so, we consider a simple transport network … influenced by all fares in the network. We then use numerical simulations to show that, contrary to the results obtained in …

Inefficient lock-in and subsidy competition
Borck, Rainald; Koh, Hyun-Ju; Pflüger, Michael - 2009
This paper shows that subsidy competition may be efficiency enhancing. We model a subsidy game among two asymmetric regions in a new trade model, where capital can freely move among regions, but capital rewards are repatriated. We study subsidy competition, starting from an equilibrium where the...
