    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Sara Svensson; Anna Rehme; [2021]
    Keywords : Congestion charge; Traffic demand elasticity; Peak-load pricing; Ramsey pricing; Negative externalities; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Economic theory often suggests congestion pricing to smooth the demand for traffic from periods of high demand to periods with lower demand.
