Personal profile

Personal information

Dr. Vincent A.C. van den Berg is an Associate professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a fellow at the Tinbergen Institute.

He studied economics at the Utrecht University and attained his MSc (cum laude) with a theoretical and empirical thesis on the determinants of defence spending. He attained his PhD at the Vu on Congestion pricing with heterogeneous travellers.

My research focuses on the air, public transport and road travel. I work both on empirical and modelling analysis of consumer preferences, firm behaviour, (government) policy, and externalities.

Topics I have studied include: Effects of airline mergers, alliances and size on airfares and travel delays. How to limit crowding during the peak in public transport. Measuring heterogeneous preferences for (transit) travel. Effects of Mobility as a Service on transit markets. How to ensure public transport supply in rural regions in the Netherlands. Strategic actions by bidders in public transport tender auctions. The effects of autonomous vehicles on congestion and parking. Distributional effects of congestion pricing. Heterogeneous preferences and uncertainty in dynamic congestion models, and in particular the bottleneck model. Self-financing of toll roads under heterogeneity. Industrial organisation of transport markets.
