NETWORK EVOLUTION WITH COST-BENEFIT EVALUATION RULES

Network Co-evolution with Cost-benefit Rules: a Simulation Experiment

This paper examines how city systems evolve through time in response to policy initiatives for network formation. The analysis is conducted through the use of path dependent development experiments. By assuming that a government applies cost-benefit evaluation rules to improve efficiency of the railway network link-bylink, the paper illustrates that city systems will evolve such that population...

Cost-benefit rules in general equilibrium

Should long-term assets such as infrastructure, education, and the environment earn the same return as productive capital? If yes, we can say that investments in such assets pass the cost-benefit test. But time-inconsistent decision-makers prefer to violate the test: long-term assets provide commitment to current preferences, leading to investment biases. We formulate the cost-benefit requireme...
