We study a multimarginal optimal transportation problem. Under certain conditions on the cost function and the first marginal, we prove that the solution to the relaxed, Kantorovich version of the problem induces a solution to the Monge problem and that the solutions to both problems are unique. We also exhibit several examples of cost functions under which our conditions are satisfied, includi...

Abstract Governments around the world have been facing challenges of regulating ever-increasing prevalence ridesharing platforms, leading to a proliferation academic and policy debates about social value such platforms. However, overall is still unclear because when analyzing net benefit provided by prior studies focused on either supply side (i.e., drivers) or demand passengers) users without ...

This paper adopts the hedonic price theory to analyze the relation between quality and price in the mobile telephony market during 1996-2002 in France. We address several questions. We first develop quality-adjusted price indexes for the whole period. We find that price index decline at about 14% from 1997 to 1999 while on the remaining period the price decrease tends to flatten. Then, using es...

This paper proposes a subjective well-being approach to test the equilibrium condition implicit in hedonic pricing. Contrary to the conclusions of previous studies, we show that both approaches are not complementary but, rather, they are alternative ways of computing implicit prices of environmental amenities. They are equivalent when the equilibrium condition holds but, in the absence of such ...
