What if congestion pricing were revenue-neutral? Cities could offer small driving subsidies at off times—small enough that they’re still less than fuel and wear-and-tear costs—so they wouldn’t encourage unnecessary trips. Would that make congestion pricing more acceptable?

📢 My latest research, "Inconspicuous Personalized Pricing" (Journal of Industrial Economics), is now out.
Core Idea:
Most firms know openly personalizing prices risks backlash—so they likely do it quietly. Think an iceberg: the visible cases (like Delta’s AI-powered pricing) may be just the tip.
