Information And Usage Of Free-Access Congestible Facilities

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of information on participation and time of use decisions in a free access congestible facility subject to fluctuations in capacity and demand is investigated, and the expected welfare is greater with perfect than with zero information, while optimal design capacity is greater if and only if demand elasticity is greater than one.
