On whether property taxes are progressive, there are three different views. Through comparative analysis ,it is found that the view is more persuasive that property taxes are progressive. In our current socio-economic environment, property tax reform can effectively improve the unfair situation...

Historically, congestion pricing is considered to be an efficient mechanism used to decrease total social cost by charging users' true costs including congestion externalities. Congestion pricing under uncertainty has been relatively little studied. In this paper, we review the literature on...

On the strength of the status quo of Chinese land transfer, the changes of the county agricultural production factor market arising from land transfer from four aspects covering land market, agricultural capital market, agricultural labor market and agricultural science and technology. The...

This paper proposes a methodology to generate a robust logistics plan that can mitigate demand uncertainty in humanitarian relief supply chains. More specifically, we apply robust optimization (RO) for dynamically assigning emergency response and evacuation traffic flow problems with time...

This paper addresses certain misconceptions regarding what is known and what may be expected when performing sensitivity analyses of network user equilibrium flow patterns. Our presentation relies on a simple observation: any given user equilibrium sensitivity analysis technique should be...

Many large shippers procure truckload (TL) service from carriers via a combinatorial auction. In order to determine the winners of the auction, they need to solve a combinatorial optimization problem known as winner determination problem (WDP). In practice, shippers must resolve the WDP under...

This paper is concerned with the existence of the simultaneous route-and-departure choice dynamic user equilibrium (SRDC-DUE) in continuous time, first formulated as an infinite-dimensional variational inequality in Friesz et al. (1993). In deriving our existence result, we employ the...

Deterministic congestion pricing has attracted most attentions in the literature. But little attention has been given to pricing under uncertainty, especially for heterogeneous commuters. In this paper, we investigate congestion externalities by considering commuters’ risk preferences and...
