Job displacement results in large and persistent earnings losses, but less is known about the non-monetary costs of job losses or workers' valuation for such costs. In this paper, we identify and quantify the impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Combining German...

We study the long-term impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Our measures of commuting exploit geo-coordinates of workers' places of residence and places of work, from which we calculate the door-to-door commuting distance and commuting time. Using German employee-employer...

Emergency department (ED) physicians treat patients with different symptoms and constantly switch between tasks. Using a comprehensive data set with over 650,000 patient visits to four EDs, we investigate the impact of task switching on physician productivity, quality of care, patient routing,...

This paper investigates optimal price mechanism for a monopolistic ride-hailing platform in a two-sided market setting. Our main result shows that the optimal price mechanism depends on the concavity of consumers' valuation distribution. When con- sumers' valuation distribution is concave, fully...

Dockless bike sharing provides a convenient and affordable means of transport for urban residents. It solves the “last-mile problem” in public transport by reducing the travel cost between home and subway stations and thus increasing the attractiveness of distant apartments. This may affect...
