Benefits and costs of transport : classification, methodologies and policies

Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter; Rietveld, Piet; … - 1997

This paper discusses a number of issues centred around the evaluation of the benefits and costs of transport. It is argued that, for various reasons, transport cannot be treated as an ‘ordinary’ economic sector, and in the paper the policy implications of a number of the sector’s...

Stick to the plan? : a revealed-preference study of behavioural impacts of traffic information

Tseng, Yin-Yen; Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010 - This version: 14/07/10

traffic information on traveller behaviour. Specifically, we distinguish between the marginal impact of expected travel times …-phone with traffic information as a reward in our experiment respond to the deviation of actual travel times from the expectation …, which they did not do before. This we interpret as evidence that traffic information indeed affects behaviour. We also find …

Governmental competition in road charging and capacity choice

Ubbels, Barry; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2007 - This version: 10/09/07

In this study we have analysed policy interactions between an urban and a regional government which have different objectives (welfare of its own citizens) and two policy instruments (toll and capacity) available. Using a simulation model, we investigated the welfare consequences of the various...

Private roads

Verhoef, Erik T. - 2007 - This version: 25/06/08

This paper studies the efficiency impacts of private toll roads in initially untolled networks. The analysis allows for capacity and toll choice by private operators, and endogenizes entry and therewith the degree of competition, distinguishing and allowing for both parallel and serial...

Pricing, capacity and long-run cost functions for first-best and second-best network problems

Verhoef, Erik T.; Koh, Andrew Toon Meng; Shepherd, Simon - 2008

This paper considers the use of ‘long-run cost functions’ for congested networks in solving second-best network … network is subject to tolling and/or capacity choice, and cases with and without a self-financing constraint imposed. We will … for most of the cases of interest, which can be used in an applied network model as a substitute for the conventional …

Private road networks with uncertain demand

Fu, Xinying; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2017

We study the efficiency of private supply of roads under demand uncertainty and evaluate various regulatory policies. Due to demand uncertainty, capacity is decided before demand is known but tolls can be adjusted after demand is known. Policy implications can differ considerably from those...

Private road networks with uncertain demand

Fu, Xinying; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015

There has been wide interest in private supply of roads as a solution to traffic congestion. We study its efficiency … is an untolled substitute (complement) in the network. In contrast to the deterministic counterpart of the problem we …
