Curbing emissions: environmental regulations and product offerings across markets 1University of Science and Technology of China; 2University of Texas at Dallas The Trump administration’s 2018 announcement to freeze the EPA standard threatened to widen its gap from the CARB standard and cause a split market where automakers offer differentiated car models in CARB and non-CARB states. Inspired by this crisis, we adopt a game-theoretic model where two regulators set efficiency standards in their respective markets. We show that horizontal negotiations and vertical negotiations can both unify a split market and reduce emissions. Planning bike lanes with data: ridership, congestion, and path selection 1University of Toronto; 2University of California - Los Angeles, United States of America Bike lane expansion promotes cycling and reduces car traffic, but narrows vehicle lanes and amplifies congestion. We study the bike lane planning problem considering the conflicting effects. In an extensive case study in Chicago, we present a consistent estimator for travel-time function and optimize new bike lane locations while enforcing traffic equilibrium. We estimate 25 miles of new bike lanes increase cycling ridership by 76%, with at most an 8% increase in driving time between each OD pair. |
