Airline Mitigation of Propagated Delays : Theory and Empirics on the Choice of Schedule Buffers

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2019

This paper presents an extensive theoretical and empirical analysis of the choice of schedule buffers by airlines. With airline delays a continuing problem around the world, such an under-taking is valuable, and its lessons extend to other passenger transportation sectors. One useful lesson from...

Airline Schedule Buffers and Flight Delays : A Discrete Model

Czerny, Achim Ingo - 2020

This paper revisits the airline schedule-buffer choice problem analyzed by Brueckner, Czerny and Gaggero (2020) using a simpler model where the random shocks influencing flight times are discrete rather than continuous. The analysis yields closed-form solutions for the flight and ground buffers...

A Threshold Model of Urban Development

Vesperoni, Alberto - 2019

We propose a simple model of distribution of economic activity across cities of endogenous size and number determined by individual incentives in the tradition of threshold models of social interaction. The individuals populating our model are endowed with idiosyncratic entrepreneurial...

Voting on Urban Land Development

Wrede, Matthias - 2020

In this paper, we analyze several local referendums on land development and land-use regulation in the City of Erlangen (Germany) in the period between 2011 and 2018. To identify the positive influence of the travel distance on approval for the development of land, we employ a two-way...

Land Scarcity and Urban Density within Cities

Krause, Melanie; Seidel, André - 2021

This paper studies how limitations on land suitable for development affect within-city variation in urban density and its three components: crowding, residential coverage, and building height. We use the high variation in geographical obstacles − such as steep land slopes and the presence of...

What's in a Name? Initial Geography and German Urban Development

Nguyen, Duc A.; Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; … - 2023

Place names, or toponyms, provide insight into the initial geographical characteristics of settlements. We present a unique dataset of 3,705 German toponyms that includes the date of the first historical record mentioning the settlement and the date it was granted city rights. We show that the...

Borck, Rainald - 2019

We use panel data from Germany to analyze the effect of population density on urban air pollution (nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and ozone). To address unobserved heterogeneity and omitted variables, we present long difference/fixed effects estimates and instrumental variables estimates,...
