Spot and Time Charter Rates for Tankers, 1970-77

The authors find that a model based on exponentially declining weights provides a reasonable explanation of the formation of rate expectations. It appears that an explanation still needs to be found for the violent fluctuations in rates.

Optimal Public transport Price and Service Frequency

Because values of time and passenger behaviour depend on the level of frequency it is found that: (1) in urban public transport there may be one low-deficit local optimum and one high-deficit local optimum, one of which is global; (2) contrary to what might be expected, optimal financial deficit per passenger is typically larger for high frequency services than for low-frequency services; (3) the optimal off-peak may exceed the optimal peak price.
