When are anonymous congestion charges consistent with marginal cost pricing?

Full text - MIT Libraries
R Arnott… - Journal of Public Economics, 1998 - Elsevier
There are constraints on pricing congestible facilities. First, if heterogeneous users are
observationally indistinguishable, then congestion charges must be anonymous. Second,
the time variation of congestion charges may be constrained. Do these constraints ...

Quality of service and the demand for air travel

Full text - MIT Libraries
JE Anderson, M Kraus - The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1981 - JSTOR
Q UALITY of service has been neglected in empirical studies of air travel. Travel demand
depends on travel time as well as the usual price and activity variables. Travel time includes
not only average en route time, but delay. Following Douglas-Miller (1974a, b), frequency ...

The welfare costs of nonoptimum pricing and investment policies for freeway transportation

Full text - MIT Libraries
M Kraus, H Mohring… - The American Economic Review, 1976 - JSTOR
A" pure peak load phenomenon" can be defined to exist when (a) the demand for a service
varies from hour to hour, day to day, or season to season periods of time too short for capital
stock to be varied so as to keep price continuously equal to longrun marginal cost and (b) ...

Scale economies analysis for urban highway networks

M Kraus - Journal of Urban Economics, 1981 - Elsevier
Abstract Extending scale economies analysis from an individual highway to an urban
highway network leads to an interesting new problem. When demand increases in a
network, establishing a new long run equilibrium may require either increasing the ...

Financing capacity in the bottleneck model

Full text - MIT Libraries
R Arnott… - Journal of Urban Economics, 1995 - Elsevier
It is well known that, for a congestible facility with constant long-run average cost, the
revenue from the unconstrained optimal congestion charge (set so that each individual faces
the marginal (social) cost of a use) exactly covers the cost of optimal capacity. In the ...

Self-financing of congestible facilities in a growing economy

R Arnott… - … Topics in Public Economics: Theoretical and …, 1998 - books.google.com
The basic static self-financing result for congestible facilities, following Mohring1 and
Harwitz (1962) and Strotz (1965), is that if the facility exhibits constant long-run average
costs, then the revenue from the optimal toll exactly covers the cost of constructing and ...

The commuter's time-of-use decision and optimal pricing and service in urban mass transit

Full text - MIT Libraries
M Kraus… - Journal of Urban Economics, 2002 - Elsevier
This paper incorporates the commuter's time-of-use decision into a model of optimal pricing
and service in urban mass transit. The model is closely related to the highway bottleneck
model, with waiting time at a transit stop treated analogously to queuing time at a ...

This paper considers the second-best policy problem that arises when auto travel is priced
below its marginal cost and there is a substitute mass transit mode. We analyze the problem
by combining a model of a rail line based on Kraus and Yoshida (J. Urban Econ. 51 (2002 ...

In our 1976 paper, Herbert Mohring, Thomas Pinfold and I attempted to quantify optimal
congestion tolls, volume/capacity ratios, and subsidies for freeways. In doing so, we made
the simplifying assumption of perfectly divisible traffic lanes. Of course, freeway lanes are ...
