Second-best Pricing for Imperfect Substitutes in Urban Networks

Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2003

This paper considers second-best pricing as it arises through incomplete coverage of full networks. The main principles are first reviewed by considering the classic two-route problem and some extensions that have been studied more recently. In most of these studies the competing routes are...

Downtown curbside parking capacity

Arnott, Richard J.; Inci, Eren; Rowse, John - 2013

In downtown areas, what proportion of curbside should be allocated to parking? In contrast to most previous work on the economics of parking, this paper focuses on optimal curbside parking capacity in both first-best (where pricing is efficient) and second-best (where pricing is inefficient)...

A discrete-choice model approach to optimal congestion charge

Strøm, Steinar; Vislie, Jon - 2008

We derive an optimal congestion charge within in a discrete-choice framework …, with a benevolent government maximising expected tax-adjusted social surplus. The congestion charge to be imposed on …

Taxing Uber

Agrawal, David R.; Zhao, Weihua - 2023

Ride-hailing applications create new challenges for governments providing transit services, but also create new opportunities to raise tax revenue. To shed light on the effect of taxing or subsidizing ride-hailing applications, we extend a pseudo-monocentric city model to include multiple...

A Model of Rush-Hour Traffic in an Isotropic Downtown Area

Arnott, Richard J.; Kokoza, Anatolii; Naji, Mehdi - 2015

For a quarter century, a top priority in transportation economic theory has been to develop models of rush-hour traffic dynamics that incorporate traffic jams (hypercongestion). The difficulty has been that “proper” models result in mathematical intractabilty, while none of the proposed...

Teleworking and Congestion: A Dynamic Bottleneck Analysis

Gubins, Sergejs; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2011

We analyze the welfare effects of part-day teleworking on road traffic congestion in the context of Vickrey's dynamic … times at work for equipped drivers and, due to congestion externalities, affects travel costs of all drivers. We show that …

A traffic equilibrium model with paid-parking search

van Nieuwkoop, Renger; Axhausen, Kay; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2016

This paper describes a Wardropian traffic flow model integrated with a search model for paid parking. The occupancy rate influences the probability of finding on-street (curbside) or off-street (garage) parking spaces. We formulate the model as a mixed complementarity problem, which has the...
