In transportation safety literature, many statistical models and criteria have been proposed for quantifying risk at transportation facilities such as roadway intersections and highway–rail grade crossings, and identifying candidate locations, or blackspots, for engineering improvements. There...

This paper contributes to job-search literature by analysing commuter behaviour in the presence of asymmetric changes in the wage distribution. Job search theory predicts that reservation wages increase with the mean and mean-preserving spread of the wage distribution. However, changing...
