Why combating climate change is so challenging
Strategic behavior under tradeable driving permits and congestion tolls: A political economy model
Optimal policies for electromobility: Joint assessment of transport and electricity distribution costs in Norway
This paper develops a stylized economic model for passenger transport in the greater Oslo area, in which the agents' choices of car ownership, transport pattern, and electric vehicle (EV) charging are jointly determined. If enough EVs charge during peak hours, costly grid expansions may be needed. We examine how the distribution system operators can mitigate these costs with different pricing schemes and how this, in turn, affects the transport m…
How rural is too rural for transit? Optimal transit subsidies and supply in rural areas
The optimal supply of rail and bus in low density areas is studied by calibrating a demand and supply model with three modes (car, bus and rail) to an existing low density corridor. Varying the length of the network, the frequencies and the size of the populations, allows to study the trade-off between the consumer surplus losses of the public transport users and the transit operation and maintenance costs savings. We find that for an existing ra…
Race to the top in traffic calming
Do the selected Trans European transport investments pass the cost benefit test
Traffic externalities in cities: The economics of speed bumps, low emission zones and city bypasses
Inefficiencies in regional commuting policy
How to decide on regional infrastructure to achieve intra‐regional acceptability and inter‐regional consensus
A political economy model of road pricing
Energy-Tax Reform with Vertical Tax Externalities
The paper is a general equilibrium analysis of an energy-tax reform in a federation, measuring the welfare effects and the vertical tax externalities. Vertical tax externalities may arise when two government levels impose taxes on common tax bases. We show how the magnitude and sign of the vertical externality depend on the environmental goal, the tax-recycling scenario, the initial local and federal tax shares, and the size of the federation. Si…
Strategic investment and pricing decisions in a congested transport corridor
Imperfect competition and congestion in the City
Parking Policies and Road Pricing
There are two main sources of inefficiency in urban transport markets. First, transport prices fail to reflect the external costs of travel, notably peak-period external congestion costs. Secondly, a large percentage of drivers park for free, particularly at the workplace. Economic theory suggests, in the absence of other market distortions, that efficiency can be restored with a perfectly differentiated external cost charge in conjunction with r…
