Substantial differences exist among fuel taxes in various countries. These differences represent a form of fiscal competition that has undesirable side effects because it leads to cross-border fuelling and hence to extra kilometres driven. One possible way of solving the problem of low fuel...

The location behaviour of modern multinational multi-plant firms appears to exhibitincreasingly a flexible mobility pattern with a strong tendency towards footlooseness. Thespatial-economic dynamics - often across the border - of such firms is sometimesencapsulated in the term 'nomadic firms'....

This paper analyses the relationship between spatial dynamics offirms and employment growth in the region. Moreover, it addresses thefacilitating or impeding role of (new) industrial sites in thegeographical process of firm and job dynamics, while recognising thatthe spatial dynamics of firms...

We study interaction between the trips of two types of drivers on a two-lane road who differ by their desired speeds. The difference in desired speeds causes congestion, because slow drivers force fast drivers to reduce their speed. An interesting aspect of this type of congestion is that...

This paper deals with the issue of regulatory reform in the airline industry, in connection with environmental externalities. Deregulation has led to shorter routes, higher frequencies, probably larger aircraft sizes and more intense peak traffic at airports. In addition, deregulation has led to...

Frequency of services and vehicle size are important policy instruments of railway companies. Extending Mohring's basic 'square root model' for frequencies, we arrive at more general formulations for frequency, vehicle size and price under alternative regimes of welfare and profit optimisation....

In travel surveys most respondents apply rounding of departure and arrival times to multiples of 5, 15 and 30 minutes: in the annual Dutch travel survey about 85-95 percent of all reported times are 'round' ones. We estimate rounding models for departure and arrival times. The model allows one...
