This study discusses the potential effects of a kilometre charge in the Netherlands on pollution and travel demand. It also provides insight into the organisational and technical structure which is required to introduce a well-functioning system of charging passenger cars for each kilometre...

In this paper the social costs of land use claims for transport infrastructure are investigated for The Netherlands. This is a complement to the study on 'Efficient pricing of traffic: estimation of the social costs of the use of transport modes" carried out in The Netherlands by CE (1999). In...

In various studies (for example Golob et al., 1981, De Jong 1989), travel behaviour (for example, commuting or visiting a shop) is analysed on the basis of a utility function with the distance travelled (d) as one of the arguments. An example is U=U(d,Y-cd,T-td), (1) where Y and T are money and...

The focus in this paper is on spatial diffusion patterns of call centers in The Netherlands. The number of call centers has increased rapidly in the last decade and it seems that impacts of call centers on the labor market still underestimated. We will pay attention to two spatial levels: first...

We develop an equilibrium job search model in which employees incur commuting costs, and residential relocation is costly. We demonstrate that firms partially compensate workers for the incurred relocation costs to avoid paying compensation for commuting costs.

We develop an urban equilibrium job search model where residential mobility is restricted due to the presence of residential moving costs. We presume a simple mono-centric model (firms are located in one location), but allow for imperfect labour and housing markets. We set out to analyse an...

In this paper the costs of construction, maintenance, governance and land use of road infrastructure in The Netherlands are allocated to several transport modes in passenger and freight transport. Opposed to earlier research, a considerable number of weight categories are distinguished regarding...
