Weber, Matthias - 2014
There are many situations in which different groups make collective decisions by committee voting, where each group is … represented by a single person. Theoretical concepts suggest how the voting systems in such committees should be designed, but … these abstract rules can usually not be implemented perfectly. To find voting systems that approximate these rules the so …

Why congestion tolling could be good for the consumer : the effects of heterogeneity in the values of schedule delay and time on the effects of tolling
Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010
In studying congestion tolling, it is important to account for heterogeneity in preferences of drivers, as ignoring it can bias the welfare gains. We analyse the effects of tolling, in the bottleneck model, with continuous heterogeneity in the value of time and schedule delay. The welfare gain...
