In this paper we explore the possible impact of urban congestion on agglomeration economies for a cross-section set of cities in Latin America. We use travel time data from Tom Tom to estimate wage regressions equations controlling for city size and congestion. We use population in each city in...

Much of the existing urban and transportation economics literature discusses the hedonic impacts of proximity to transit and those of congestion pricing as seemingly unrelated phenomena. Using Singapore’s cordon toll model, which has been in place since 1998, this paper tests whether a...

Food banks are initiatives that redistribute food at risk of becoming waste to people that are food insecure in middle- and high-income countries. These initiatives, which have become more prevalent in recent years, face high levels of uncertainties in their supply chain. Inspired by challenges...

Supply constraints hurt the economic recovery and boosted inflation in 2021. We find that in the euro area, manufacturing output and GDP would have been about 6 and 2 percent higher, respectively, and half of the rise in manufacturing producer price inflation would not have occurred in the...

Motivated by the need for transportation infrastructure and incident management planning, we study traffic density under non-recurrent congestion. This paper provides an analytical solution approximating the stationary distribution of traffic density in roadways where deterioration of service...

This paper proposes a game-theoretic model to analyze the strategic behavior of inc-dec gaming in market-based congestion management (redispatch). We extend existing models by considering incomplete information about competitors’ costs and a finite set of providers. We find that these...
