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)...

Through an extended numerical example, this paper develops a diagrammatic analysis of steady-state parking and traffic congestion in an isotropic downtown and provides systematic policy analysis. Unlike our previous work, the model incorporates curbside parking, garage parking, and...

Transport is characterised by market failures that are of particular importance in urban settings. This paper reviews market failures and policy failures in The Netherlands for various transport markets, including road transport, public transport and biking. Special attention is paid to parking...

commuting flows from a Norwegian region with a high number of ferry connections and/or tunnels and bridges. Based on a doubly …-constrained gravity-based model specification we focus on how commuting flows respond to varying toll charges and ferry prices. Estimation … results are used to predict how the generation and distribution of commuting flows is affected when ferry connections are …

We propose a theory-inspired measure of the accessibility of a city's center: the size of the surrounding area from which it can be reached within a specific time. Using publicly-available optimal routing software, we compute these "accessibility zones" for the 109 largest American and European...

In this paper, we derive a structural model for commuting speed. We presumethat commuting speed is chosen to minimise … commuting costs, which encompass bothmonetary and time costs. At faster speed levels, the monetary costs increase, but the …

We examine the causal effect of commuting distance on workers' wages in a quasi-natural experiments setting using …' relocations. For the range of commuting distances where income tax reductions associated with commuting do not apply, one … kilometre increase in commuting distance induces a wage increase of about 0.42%, suggesting an hourly compensation of about half …

People spend a lot of time commuting and often find it a burden. According to economics, the burden of commuting is … direct test of this strong notion of equilibrium, we find that people with longer commuting time report systematically lower … this 'commuting paradox'. …
