Step-tolling with price-sensitive demand: Why more steps in the toll make the consumer better off

VAC van den Berg - Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2012 - Elsevier
Most dynamic models of congestion pricing use fully time-variant tolls. However, in practice,
tolls are uniform over the day, or at most have just a few steps. Such uniform and step tolls …

Coarse tolling with heterogeneous preferences

VAC van den Berg - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper analyses optimal coarse tolling of congestion under heterogeneous preferences,
and in particular its welfare and distributional effects. With coarse tolling, the toll equals a …

Congestion tolling in the bottleneck model with heterogeneous values of time

V Van den Berg, ET Verhoef - Transportation Research Part B …, 2011 - Elsevier
When analysing the effects of transport policies it is important to adequately control for
heterogeneity: previous studies note that ignoring heterogeneity biases the estimated …

Which consumers benefit from congestion tolls?

A Glazer, E Niskanen - Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 2000 - JSTOR
Consider a consumer who can choose to travel on a congestible fast mode or on a
congestible slow mode. Users who most value time will use the fast mode. A toll on the slow …

Step tolling with bottleneck queuing congestion

CR Lindsey, VAC Van den Berg, ET Verhoef - Journal of Urban Economics, 2012 - Elsevier
In most dynamic traffic congestion models, congestion tolls must vary continuously over time
to achieve the full optimum. This is also the case in Vickrey (1969)'bottleneck model'. To …

Winning or losing from dynamic bottleneck congestion pricing?: The distributional effects of road pricing with heterogeneity in values of time and schedule delay

V Van Den Berg, ET Verhoef - Journal of Public Economics, 2011 - Elsevier
This paper analyses the efficiency and distributional impacts of congestion pricing in
Vickrey's (1969) dynamic bottleneck model of congestion, allowing for continuous …

Congestion tolling-dollars versus tokens: A comparative analysis

A de Palma, S Proost, R Seshadri… - … Research Part B …, 2018 - Elsevier
The case for some form of congestion tolling has long been made given the extent of traffic
congestion in most urban transportation networks. However, there is little consensus on …

Step by step: revisiting step tolling in the bottleneck model

R Lindsey, VAC van den Berg, ET Verhoef - 2010 - papers.ssrn.com
In most dynamic traffic congestion models, congestion tolls must vary continuously over time
to achieve the full optimum. This is also the case in Vickrey's (1969)'bottleneck model'. To …

Can tolling help everyone? Estimating the aggregate and distributional consequences of congestion pricing

JD Hall - Journal of the European Economic Association, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Economists have long advocated road pricing as an efficiency-enhancing solution to traffic
congestion, yet it has rarely been implemented because it is thought to create losers as well …

Congestion pricing on a road network: A study using the dynamic equilibrium simulator METROPOLIS

A De Palma, M Kilani, R Lindsey - … Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2005 - Elsevier
The gradually accelerating pace at which tolls are being implemented or actively considered
around the world suggests that road pricing is an idea whose time may finally have come …
