State tax differentials, cross-border commuting, and commuting times in multi-state metropolitan areas

Agrawal, David R.; Hoyt, William H. - 2014 - This Version: June 2014

We examine the effects of differences in income tax rates on commuting times within multi-state MSAs. Our theoretical model introduces a border into a model of an urban area and shows that differences in average tax rates distort commute times and interstate commutes. Empirically examining...

Cordon tolling in a city with congested bridges

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2014

This paper analyzes cordon tolling using a simple model where space is discrete rather than continuous, with commuting costs incurred only on two congested bridges. The first-best regime requires tolls on both bridges, whereas only the inner bridge is tolled under the cordon-toll regime. While...

Distribution and growth in an economy with limited needs

Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2001

This paper studies a model of the distribution of income under bounded needs. Utility derived from any given good reaches a bliss point at a finite consumption level of that good. On the other hand, introducing new varieties always increases utility. It is assumed that each variety is owned by a...
