commuting flows from a Norwegian region with a high number of ferry connections and/or tunnels and bridges. Based on a doubly …-constrained gravity-based model specification we focus on how commuting flows respond to varying toll charges and ferry prices. Estimation … results are used to predict how the generation and distribution of commuting flows is affected when ferry connections are …

Studies of the "stated preferences" of households generally report public and political opposition by urban commuters to congestion pricing. It is thought that this opposition inhibits or precludes tolls and pricing systems that would enhance efficiency in the use of scarce roadways. This paper...

Traffic congestion contributes to longer travel times and increased travel time variability. We account for the dynamic nature of travellers' choices, by deriving a closed-form solution for the costs of travel time variability. The resulting travel delay cost function is linear in the mean...

The aim of this research is to analyse the trade-off between parking space availability and cost, in terms of time savings (considering time in terms of foregone earnings). This information is pivotal when designing parking policies in terms of fares, investments and regulation. A relevant body...

Even if this type of commuting flows are prime examples of rural-urban integration and a main way in which rural … regions may enjoy urban spread effects, there are few analyses that directly examines rural-to-urban commuting (Partridge et …

This paper studies health effects from restricting the access of high-emission vehicles to innercities by implementing low emission zones. For identification, we exploit variation in the timing and the spatial distribution of the introduction of new low emission zones across cities in Germany....

The main aim of this paper is to observe the environmental behaviour in some cities of the word, by analyzing for each city the trends of several energy and emissions indicators that appear as explanatory variables in both energy and labour average productivity equations. At the same time we...
