Yu, Xiaojuan - 2018

When drivers opt for carpooling, road capacity will be freed up, and this will reduce congestion. Therefore, carpooling is interesting for policy makers as a possible solution to congestion. We investigate the effects of carpooling in a dynamic equilibrium model of congestion, which captures...

Second-best Urban Tolls in a Monocentric City with Housing Market Regulations

Tikoudis, Ioannis; Verhoef, Erik T.; van Ommeren, Jos N. - 2015

This paper investigates second-best congestion pricing in a monocentric city characterized by distortionary, rigid regulatory mechanisms in the housing market (building height restrictions, zoning and property taxation). The Pigouvian toll is shown to retain its optimality under any setting with...
