Active Queue Management (AQM) plays an important role in the Internet congestion control. It tries to enhance congestion control, and to achieve tradeoff between bottleneck utilization and delay. Random Early Detection (RED) is the most popular active queue management algorithm that has been implemented in the in Internet routers and is trying to supply low delay and low packet loss. RED al...

Increased traffic congestion, lower air-quality, and worsening of destination’s image perception are just some the negative externalities affecting destinations relying on natural amenities supplying nature-based activities. Adopting a Stated Preference experiment, this research investigates southern Switzerland areas’ visitors’ reaction to hypothetical introduction sustainable means transport,...

Research and development (R&D) is a key determinant of long run productivity and welfare. A central issue is whether a decentralized economy undertakes too little or too much R&D. We develop an endogenous growth model that incorporates parametrically four important distortions to R&D: the surplus appropriability problem, knowledge spillovers, creative destruction, and congestion externalities. ...

Rosenthal (1973) introduced the class of congestion games and proved that they always possess a Nash equilibrium in pure strategies. Fotakis et al. (2005) introduce the notion of a greedy strategy tuple, where players sequentially and irrevocably choose a strategy that is a best response to the choice of strategies by former players. Whereas the former solution concept is driven by strong assum...
