Urban Sprawl, Job Decentralization, and Congestion: the Welfare Effects of Congestion Tolls and Urban Growth Boundaries
This paper develops a spatial general equilibrium model to explore the endogenous relations between urban sprawl, job decentralization, and traffic congestion, and then compare the efficiency and welfare impacts of anti-congestion policies. Results suggest that congestion spurs firms to decentralize and agglomerate away from the urban center, with households living more centrally. A congestion-...
متن کاملManipulable Congestion Tolls
The recent literature on congestion pricing with large agents contains a remarkable inconsistency: though agents are large enough to recognize self-imposed congestion and exert market power over prices, they do not take into account the impact of their own actions on the magnitude of congestion tolls. When large agents are confronted with tolls derived under this parametric assumption but under...
متن کاملCongestion, ramp metering and tolls.
The cell transmission model of a freeway is used to compare four congestion-reducing schemes: (R) ramp control only; (T) one lane is tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; (B) bottlenecks are tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; and (RB) ramps are controlled and bottlenecks are tolled. In the base case, ramps are uncontrolled and there are no tolls. It is found that (T) is inefficient and may leave a...

متن کاملWhen are Marginal Congestion Tolls Optimal?
Marginal tolls are known to provide the existence of an optimal equilibrium in atomic congestion games, but unlike nonatomic games, there might be additional equilibria even with linear cost functions on resources. In this paper, we show that in games with a large number of players, all equilibria are near-optimal.
