State tax differentials, cross-border commuting, and commuting times in multi-state metropolitan areas

Agrawal, David R.; Hoyt, William H. - 2014 - This Version: June 2014

We examine the effects of differences in income tax rates on commuting times within multi-state MSAs. Our theoretical model introduces a border into a model of an urban area and shows that differences in average tax rates distort commute times and interstate commutes. Empirically examining...

Cordon tolling in a city with congested bridges

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2014

This paper analyzes cordon tolling using a simple model where space is discrete rather than continuous, with commuting costs incurred only on two congested bridges. The first-best regime requires tolls on both bridges, whereas only the inner bridge is tolled under the cordon-toll regime. While...

Highways, market access, and spatial sorting

Fretz, Stephan; Parchet, Raphaël; Robert-Nicoud, Frédéric - 2017

We design a spatial model featuring workers embodied with heterogeneous skills. In equilibrium, locations with improved market access become relatively more attractive to the high-skilled, high-income earners. We then empirically analyze the effects of the construction of the Swiss highway...

Spatial diffusion of economic shocks in networks

Amarasinghe, Ashani; Hodler, Roland; Raschky, Paul A.; … - 2018

The aggregate economic impact of any developmental project depends on its effects within the chosen administrative region as well as its economic spillovers into other regions. However, little is known about how these spillovers propagate through geographic, ethnic and road networks. In this...

Shipping inside the box : containerization and trade

Coşar, A. Kerem; Demir, Banu - 2017

We quantify the effect of container technology on transport costs and trade by estimating the modal choice between … to shipment, destination and firm characteristics. We find container transport to have a higher first-mile cost and a …

Efficient taxation of fuel and road use

Bjertnæs, Geir H. M. - 2019

This study calculates efficient taxes on gasoline and road use designed to combat driving related externalities when motorists avoid taxes due to an excessive economic driving-style. The efficient tax on gasoline is reduced below the Pigouvian rate due to such avoidance. The current US tax rate...

The efficient combination of taxes on fuel and vehicles

Bjertnæs, Geir H. M. - 2017

A tax on fuel combined with tax-exemptions or subsidies for purchase of fuel-efficient vehicles is implemented in many countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other negative externalities from road traffic. This study, however, shows that a tax on fuel should be combined with heavier...

A tale of two tails : commuting and the fuel price response in driving

Gillingham, Kenneth; Munk-Nielsen, Anders - 2017

distributional effects hamper political acceptance. These distributional effects are especially important in transport, the fastest … lower and upper tails of the work distance distribution. We further estimate the causal effect of public transport - a … critical determinant of the upper tail - and show how public transport access can both reconcile differences in fuel price …
