A new multi-objective intermodal hub-location-allocation problem is modeled in this paper in which both the origin and the destination hub facilities are modeled as an M/M/m queuing system. The problem is being formulated as a constrained bi-objective optimization model to minimize the total...

This study investigates airport pricing and capacity investment when passengers face schedule and congestion delays. Two countries' airports are served by each country's home carrier. Airports choose their charges on a per-flight and/or per-passenger basis. Carriers choose both quantities and...

This paper uses the bottleneck model of Vickrey (1969) to empirically measure the social cost of traffic congestion in the US. Using a detailed trip-level data, we estimate extra travel time over and above hypothetical free-flow travel time, which we call "queuing time", for each average commute...

Participants in matching markets face search and screening costs when seeking a match. We study how platform design can reduce the effort required to find a suitable partner. We study a game-theoretic model in which "applicants" and "employers" pay costs to search and screen. An important...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, sweeping production constraints, combined with surging demand in some industries, have led to shortages, severe congestion, and soaring prices. What will it take for these bottlenecks to resolve and for price pressures to ease?
