Title

Tariff design, incentives and transports: an experimental approach (with Philippe Gagnepain, Sébastien Massoni et Carine Staropoli) 

Abstract

How do consumers react to tariff design? The theoretical literature in industrial organization aims to design tariffs to address economic concerns. However, empirical results show that consumers may not fully react to complex prices, as they are based on the assumption of perfect rationality. This is particularly relevant in public transportation, as policymakers aim to increase usage and alleviate network congestion through pricing strategies. Through a laboratory experiment, this study aims to analyze the trade-off between time and money under different tariffs. The findings of this study will be crucial in informing public transportation policy and reducing individual car usage.
