We explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on acongested road network with heterogeneous users and allowing for elasticdemand. Heterogeneity is represented by a continuum of values of time. Thenetwork consists of both serial and parallel links, which allows us to...

The COVID-19 crisis has identified several weaknesses and shortcomings of global supply chain networks. Due to the rapidly increasing demand of protective healthcare equipment, i.e. goggles, masks or equipment, it is visible that global supply chains have been significantly challenged....

This paper analyzes the effects of price differentiation and discrimination by a monopolistic transport operator, which sets fares in a congestible network. Using three models, with different spatial structures, we describe the operator's optimal strategies in an unregulated market, a market...
