Income inequality and social welfare: Implications for the indirect effects of transport policies

Paul R. Koster

Urban and transport policies cause indirect effects such as increases in average income levels. When income inequality changes with average income levels there can be additional indirect inequality costs or benefits. This paper develops tractable marginal social welfare measures that incorporate average …

An investigation of the emittance of escaping fast electron beams from planar and nanowire targets

E. J. Hume, Paul R. Koster, F. Baffigi, F. Brandi et autres

Abstract Fast electron generation and transport in high-intensity laser–solid interactions induces X-ray emission and drives ion acceleration. Effective production of these sources hinges on an efficient laser absorption into the fast electron population and control of divergence as the beam propagates through …

A micro-econometric framework for Participatory Value Evaluation

Thijs Dekker, Paul R. Koster, Niek Mouter

This paper presents a micro-econometric framework to analyse choice data from participatory value evaluation (PVE) surveys. In a PVE survey respondents receive, similar to stated choice surveys, information on the social impacts of public sector projects before choosing the best policy portfolio …

Preference estimation from point allocation experiments

Marion Collewet, Paul R. Koster

Point allocation experiments are widely used in the social sciences. In these experiments, survey respondents distribute a fixed total number of points across a fixed number of alternatives. This paper reviews the different perspectives in the literature about what respondents do when …

Implications of the choice of distance-based measures in assessing and investigating tumble turn performance

Paul R. Koster, Wouter Arnoldus, Sina David, Sander Schreven et autres

Although the tumble turn in swimming has been studied extensively, no consensus exists about which measure is best suited to capture its performance. The aim of this study was to better understand the implications of choosing a particular distance-based performance measure for …

Improving tumble turn performance in swimming—the impact of wall contact time and tuck index

Sina David, Tamara Grove, Myrna v. Duijven, Paul R. Koster et autres

Race time can be shortened by improving turn performance in competitive swimming, but this requires insight into the optimal turn technique. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of Wall Contact Time (WCT) and Tuck Index on tumble …

Participatory value evaluation for the evaluation of flood protection schemes

Niek Mouter, Paul R. Koster, Thijs Dekker

Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is a new survey method which elicits citizens' preferences over the allocation of public budgets as well as their private income. In a PVE, citizens are asked to choose the best portfolio of projects given a governmental and …

Contrasting the recommendations of participatory value evaluation and cost-benefit analysis in the context of urban mobility investments

Niek Mouter, Paul R. Koster, Thijs Dekker

Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is a new method to assess the desirability of government projects. In a PVE, individuals select their preferred portfolio of government projects given a constrained public budget. Individuals’ preferences for (the impacts of) government projects can be determined …

Tradable permits to manage urban mobility: Market design and experimental implementation

Devi K. Brands, Erik T. Verhoef, Jasper Knockaert, Paul R. Koster

Congestion levels remain a substantial challenge, while the traditional economic response to congestion – road pricing – remains politically infeasible in most locations. Tradable permits are likely to be a more viable alternative, because they do not require a net financial flow …
