This paper analyzes the effect of the ACRE program adopted in the final version of the 2007 Farm Bill on the risk-reducing effectiveness of insurance products. To the best of our knowledge this is a first attempt to analyze the effect of the ACRE program on the risk management decisions of crop...

The central focus of this dissertation is to investigate the theory and application of market-driven models for the management of congested transportation network facilities. Computable Nash and generalized Nash equilibrium models are used to estimate the value to users of using facilities with...

This paper presents a model which is aimed at developing an efficient air traffic system for given demand and airport capacity levels by the proper pricing of landing slots. A computable Nash equilibrium model is used in the context of a two-stage, game-theoretic representation of a market...

This paper presents a computable equilibrium model of an internal market for track resources in a railroad. The problem of estimating the value to each train of track capacity, which in turn is used to create the actual train schedules, is formulated as an N-player, noncooperative game with...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of the 2008 Farm Bill's average crop revenue election (ACRE) program on the risk-reducing effectiveness of crop insurance products. Design/methodology/approach – Three crop/region combinations are examined, representing regions...
