Peak-Hour Road Congestion Pricing : Experimental Evidence and Equilibrium Implications

Kreindler, Gabriel E. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Developing country megacities suffer from severe road traffic congestion, yet the level of congestion is not a direct measure of equilibrium inefficiency. I study the peak-hour traffic congestion equilibrium in Bangalore. To measure travel preferences, I use a model of departure time choice to...

Horses for Courses : Measuring Foreign Supply Chain Exposure

Baldwin, Richard E.; Freeman, Rebecca; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Perceptions of global supply chains (GSCs) have shifted in recent years from a positive to a more cautious view. Standard GSC measures have mostly not adapted to this change as they focus on participation in, rather than exposure to, foreign supply chains. This paper presents the tools necessary...

Trade and Industrial Policy in Supply Chains : Directed Technological Change in Rare Earths

Alfaro, Laura; Fadinger, Harald; Schymik, Jan S.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Trade and industrial policies, while primarily intended to support domestic industries, may unintentionally stimulate technological progress abroad. We document this mechanism in the case of rare earth elements (REEs) - critical inputs for manufacturing at the knowledge frontier, with low...

Charging Uncertainty : Real-Time Charging Data and Electric Vehicle Adoption

Asensio, Omar Isaac; Buckberg, Elaine; Cole, Cassandra; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Charging infrastructure is critical to electric vehicle (EV) adoption, but for chargers to be most useful, EV drivers need to know in real time where they are and whether they are working and available. We investigate the availability of real-time data from DC fast chargers on six major US...

The Traveling Trucker Problem

Allen, Treb; Atkin, David; Cantillo Cleves, Santiago; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

This paper documents three new stylized facts showing that truckers in Colombia frequently choose to make complex chains of shipments in a single trip before returning home. It then provides a newmodel of optimal trucker trip-chaining with a general geography that is consistent with these facts

Household Carbon Dioxide Emissions Engel Curve Dynamics

Huang, Robert; Kahn, Matthew E. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Household carbon dioxide emissions have been an increasing function of income and distance from the city. Richer … have flattened household transportation carbon dioxide Engel curves over the years 2018 to 2022. While household … electricity emissions as a function of income have flattened, the natural gas Engel curves have not. We explore the political …

The Spatial Impacts of a Massive Rail Disinvestment Program : The Beeching Axe

Gibbons, Steve; Heblich, Stephan; Pinchbeck, Edward W. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

This paper investigates the reversibility of the effects of transport infrastructure investments, based on a programme that removed much of the rail network in Britain during the mid-20th Century. We find that a 10% loss in rail access between 1950 and 1980 caused a persistent 3% decline in...

Electric Vehicles and the Energy Transition : Unintended Consequences of a Common Retail Rate Design

Bailey, Megan; Brown, David P.; Meyers, Erica; Shaffer, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) raises new challenges for electricity systems. We implement a field experiment to assess the effect of time-of-use (TOU) pricing and managed charging on EV charging behavior. We find that while TOU pricing is effective at shifting EV charging into off-peak...

How the US-China Trade War Accelerated Urban Economic Growth and Environmental Progress in Northern Vietnam

Kahn, Matthew E.; Liao, Wen-Chi; Zheng, Siqi - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

The Trump Administration's tariffs created a wedge between mutually beneficial trades between China's producers and U.S. consumers. Moving production to nearby Vietnam allows firms to jump the tariff wall. Within Vietnam, cities closer to China with respect to distance and industrial mix grow...
