When 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.
متن کاملMarginal cost congestion pricing based on the network fundamental diagram
Congestion pricing schemes have been traditionally derived based on analytical representations of travel demand and traffic flows, such as in bottleneck models. A major limitation of these models, especially when applied to urban networks, is the inconsistency with traffic dynamics and related phenomena such as hysteresis and the capacity drop. In this study we propose a new method to derive ti...
متن کاملMarginal cost pricing for Atomic Network Congestion Games
We study optimal tolls for network congestion games where players aim to route certain amount of traffic between various source destination pairs. We consider weighted atomic users, unsplittable traffic and arbitrary nondecreasing latency functions. Users are selfish and want to follow routes that minimize their respective latencies. We focus on pure Nash equilibria. A Nash equilibrium profile ...
متن کاملMarginal cost pricing versus insurance
The regulator of a natural monopoly that sets a two-part tariff and whose marginal cost is stochastic will generally want the price to vary less than marginal cost when the lump-sum charge in the tariff is fixed. A trade-off exists between efficient pricing and an optimal allocation of risk. Pricing at marginal cost is only optimal when the consumers marginal utility is independent of the pric...
متن کاملNoise Charges in Railway Infrastructure: A Pricing Schedule Based on the Marginal Cost Principle
In order to mitigate the negative effects of transportation and to achieve a competitive transport sector, infrastructure charges in the European Union should be based on short-run marginal costs. This paper shows that railway-noise charges can be estimated using already obtained knowledge of monetary and acoustical noise evaluation. Most European countries have standardized calculation methods...
