TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest approaches to advancing the behavioral theory of travel demand and discuss some currently unresolved empirical questions on the determinants of travel behavior, and present results from a pilot study of rapid transit demand forecasting in the San Francisco Bay Area.

TL;DR: In this article, travel demand forecasting has been the province of transportation engineers, who have built up over the years considerable empirical wisdom and a repertory of largely ad hoc models which have proved successful in various applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the demand and supply of education in the United States are analyzed in the context of local public goods and the relations between local and other governmental bodies, and it is shown that education is both a public good and a private good.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal policy of a government which maximizes intertemporal social welfare using such instruments as taxes on interest income and wages, and debt in conjunction with public investment is studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, both the intergenerational maxi-min solution and the Nash equilibrium are analyzed in the context of a simple growth model and a specific preference structure, and the results are compared to the Utilitarian solution.

TL;DR: The Lindahl equilibrium has been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors, with a focus on the problem of public goods in the general equilibrium theory of price and output determination (see, e.g., the survey of recent contributions to this literature).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method of estimating the demand for public goods in view of the free rider problem, which is to establish an experimental setting in which only a random sample of the population is investigated.

TL;DR: The tax on wage increases was originally proposed independently by H. Wallich and S. Weintraub (1971) as mentioned in this paper, and has attracted considerable interest: recently, P. Isard has analysed some aspects of the tax, and M. Fogarty has provided a wide-ranging and detailed discussion of the institutional aspects of this and several similar approaches to the control of inflationary wage settlements.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the question of public expenditure on education in the framework of education-work choice in the presence of income tax, and the interrelationship between linear income tax and linear educational subsidy (tax) was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out a strong similarity between the problems of dealing with externalities and the intra-firm transfer pricing problem, and apply the solution suggested for the latter problem by Ronen and McKinney (1970) is applied to the social cost problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, a political model of the allocation of resources to education in less developed countries to explain why educational systems continue to grow in the face of such surpluses is presented.

TL;DR: The most general treatment is by Diamond and Mirrlees (1971) who discuss the optimal public output and taxation policies which will maximize a Bergsonian Social Welfare Function as discussed by the authors, which is not sustained by the recent literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the Kurz experiments to elicit demand schedules for public goods will yield biased information if they are repeated, and propose an alternative procedure for generating demand schedules.
