Scientific and technological advances are resulting in improved forecasts of risk, but do better forecasts result in better risk management? I investigate to what extent the improvements in lead time of winter weather advisories affect the frequency of motor vehicle crashes. I construct a data...

Advances in predictive technologies are improving forecasts of risk, but do better forecasts result in better risk management? Using data on winter forecasts and vehicle crashes from 11 states in the US, I investigate the value of improvements in forecast lead times. I show that winter...

LEZs (Low Emission Zones),is a defined area in many cities where access by certain polluting vehicles is restricted or deterred with the aim of improving the air quality. In many LEZs local governments introduces road pricing schemes in order to reduce social and environmental negative...

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has estimated that to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global mean temperature rise to well below 2° Celsius, new forms of low-carbon investment must be unlocked and cost-effectively doubled by 2030. This level of deployment of...

: We contribute to the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) literature in two ways: (i) we consider how societal aspects are taken into account in research and innovation (R&I) activities in four fundamentally different scenarios, as opposed to analysing current practices; and (ii) put the...

We examine the fine microstructure of commuting in a game-theoretic setting with a continuum of commuters. Commuters' home and work locations can be heterogeneous. A commuter transport network is exogenous. Traffic speed is determined by link capacity and by local congestion at a time and place...

Without a sufficiently informative dataset, it would be difficult to explore strategic interdependencies among firms, such as demand estimation. This paper investigates strategic interdependence through a unique historical case of duopoly in the Japanese maritime industry during the 1880s. Yubin...
