The impacts of renewable energy production and German nuclear phase-out on the electricity transmission systems in Central Europe is investigated with focus on the disparity between the growth of renewable production and the pace at which new electricity transmission lines have been built,...

This paper shows that the frequency at which workers are paid affects the within-month patterns of both household expenditure and aggregate economic activity. To identify causal effects, I exploit two novel sources of exogenous variation in pay frequency in the US. First, using an...

Autonomous vehicles can profoundly change parking behavior in the future. Instead of searching for parking, autonomous vehicle owners get dropped off at their final destination and send their occupant-free cars to a parking spot. In this paper, we study the impact of parking in a bi-class...

To address the problem of court backlogs, policymakers in many countries have been pursuing reforms to reduce case disposition times and the demand for litigation. Yet Priest's (1989) congestion-equilibrium theory states that reforms aimed at reducing court delays are offset by an increased...

Analysis of open-access common-property natural resource (NR) has occurred under "low" congestion (LC) - where 𝐴𝐶 and 𝑀𝐶 increase with output 𝑄 - and has for the most part ignored the more important congestion categories where 𝐴𝐶 (𝑀𝐶) is backward-bending (negative) and...

In recent years, power flows in many European transmission and distribution networks have increased, making the management of network congestion a much-debated - and increasing politicized - topic. This paper is an introduction to and a review of congestion management in European electricity...

We consider a model of bottleneck congestion in discrete time with a penalty cost for being late. This model can be applied to several situations where agents need to use a capacitated facility in order to complete a task before a hard deadline. A possible example is a situation where commuters...

Since 2008 and following the royal directives in the letter addressed to the participants of the sports conference in Skhirat, Morocco, major efforts have been made to promote mass and spectator sports practice in order to improve the sporting landscape and to solve problems related to financing...
