The duration of unemployment on the Dutch labour market: a proportional hazard model

Article Abstract:

Age and educational level influence the duration of unemployment in the Dutch labor market. Occupation also plays a significant part. Results of a proportional hazard model analysis of male unemployment in the Netherlands indicate that unemployment lasts from seven months for people with the combination of the best characteristics to seven years for those with the least favorable combination. Regional variables such as the vacancy-unemployment ratio also has a significant negative impact on unemployment duration.

Information provision, flat and fine congestion tolling and the efficiency of road usage

Article Abstract:

Information provision and flat tolling were highly complementary in regulating stochastic road traffic congestion. The five regulatory regimes studied include no tolling/imperfect information, no tolling/perfect information, flat tolling/perfect information, fluctuating tolling implying perfect information, and non-fluctuating tolling/imperfect information. In essentially all cases, information provision and flat tolling performed well.

Information in road networks with multiple origin-destination pairs

Article Abstract:

Information provision in road networks with multiple origin-destination (OD) pairs will result in a possible Pareto improvement, but not automatically in a complete Pareto improvement. The assumption that a single OD pair information provision is advantageous to both informed and uninformed drivers leading to a complete Pareto improvement can not be applied to networks with multiple OD pairs.
