Does First Last: The Existence and Extent of First Mover Advantages on Spatial Networks

Levinson, David; Xie, Feng - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2007

This paper examines the nature of first mover advantages on spatially-differentiated surface transportation networks. The literature on first mover advantages identifies a number of sources that explain their existence. However whether those sources exist on spatial networks, and how they play...

A Model of the Rise and Fall of Roads

Zhang, Lei; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2004

Transportation network planning decisions made at one point of time can have profound impacts in the future. However, transportation networks are usually assumed tobe static in models of land use. A better understanding of the natural growth pattern of roads will provide valuable guidance to...
