This paper studies the second-best problem where not all links of acongested transportation network can be tolled. The second-best taxrule for this problem is derived for general static networks, so thatthe solution presented is valid for any graph of the network, and forany set of tolling...

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...

This paper considers the use of ‘long-run cost functions’ for congested networks in solving second-best network problems, in which capacity and tolls are instruments. We derive analytical results both for general cost and demand functions and for specific functional forms, namely Bureau of...

Die Bundesregierung hat mit dem sog. "Konjunkturpaket II" auf die Wirtschaftskrise reagiert und stellt insgesamt fast 50 Mrd. € zur Verfügung. Die Mittel sollen großenteils für Investitionen in Infrastruktur genutzt werden. Ulrich Klüh und Wolfgang Wiegard, Sachverständigenrat zur...
