The Cost of Convenience: A Hedonic Approach to Travel Time Valuation and Cost‐Benefit Analysis
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel revealed‐preference approach to estimating the value of travel time (VTT) and calculating consumer surplus for the economic evaluation of transport infrastructure. Departing from traditional stated‐preference models, we derive time valuations by linking residential rental transactions in Greater Sydney to employment

Approximations of continuous Newton's method: An extension of Cayley's problem
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2007 Continuous Newton's Method refers to a certain dynamical system whose associated flow generically tends to the roots of a given polynomial. An Euler approximation of this system, with step size $h=1$, yields the discrete Newton's method algorithm for ...
