Efficiency of decentralized road investment and pricing in a multi-jurisdictional city with spillovers

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2013

This paper shows that the inefficiency of fiscal decentralization in the presence of spillovers, a main tenet of the decentralization literature, is overturned in a particular transportation context. In a monocentric city where road (bridge) capacity is financed by budget-balancing user fees,...

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...

A model of rush-hour traffic in an isotropic downtown area

Arnott, Richard; Kokoza, Anatolii; Naji, Mehdi - 2015

For a quarter century, a top priority in transportation economic theory has been to develop models of rush-hour traffic dynamics that incorporate traffic jams (hypercongestion). The difficulty has been that "proper" models result in mathematical intractabilty, while none of the proposed...

Urban congestion charging : theory, practice and environmental consequences

Santos, Georgina; Newbery, David M. G. - 2001

The theory of road pricing developed for single links suggests time andlocation varying charges equal to the marginal congestion cost at the efficientlevel of traffic. The second-best network counterpart is derived, but would beinfeasible to implement. Cordon tolls are feasible, and their...

The political economy of cordon tolls

De Borger, Bruno L.; Russo, Antonio - 2015

This paper studies the political economy of cordon tolls, the most common form of road pricing in cities. We consider a monocentric city inhabited by renters and resident-landowners. A cordon toll raises the rental price of land within the cordon, and it reduces rents outside this area. Hence,...
