Abstract: | The paper analyzes the welfare impacts of providing different types of information to a group of potential road users. Two groups of drivers are considered, informed and not-informed ones. Three kinds of information are dealt with, that is, perfect, imperfect and no information. The analysis is limited to a one and two link network and it is further assumed that the actors in the model base their decĂsion-making on rational expectations. |
