Book Description
This paper studies how search friction and spatial pricing can impact the taxi market in New York City. We use a mean field model, in which the taxi drivers strategically search for customers in different neighborhoods across the city, taking into account the spatial and temporal distribution of the supply and demand as well as the prices across the city. A crucial component of our model is the matching model that captures the statistical economies of scale in the taxi market. Our model captures the interplay between search friction, due to empty taxis and customers within the same neighborhood failing to pair efficiently and spatial pricing, where prices depend on either the origin of the ride alone or both its origin and destination. The use of mobile applications can alleviate search friction within a neighborhood while spatial pricing can incentivize relocation of empty taxis to a neighborhood. We fit our model to a dataset of New York City taxi rides over four years and conduct a series of counterfactual studies to explore how spatial pricing impacts demand for and supply of rides, consumer welfare, and drivers' profit. Our analysis reveals that there is significant unmet demand in areas with low demand density, while there is little unmet demand in areas with high demand density. Spatial prices that only use origin information can increase consumer surplus by 7.0% of the average fare and serve 2.6% more customers without hurting the drivers' profit. Moreover, we find that eliminating the (local) search inefficiency alone can increase consumer surplus by 13.9% of the average fare and serve 4.3% more customers while simultaneously increasing drivers' profit by 2.5% of the average fare. We also observe that improving search efficiency primarily impacts under-served neighborhoods such as upper Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, while pricing primarily impacts well-served neighborhoods, for example, the airports, midtown, and downtown Manhattan. This underscores the value of a hybrid mechanism. We propose a mechanism in which (local) search is eliminated in all neighborhoods while spatial pricing is only used in well-served neighborhoods. This mechanism increases consumer surplus by 21.5% of the average fare and serves 8.7% more customers while avoiding higher prices in less affluent neighborhoods of the city. The proposed mechanism achieves 96.3% of the benefits of a citywide spatial pricing and friction removal mechanism.

Book Description
Social history is only one kind of history. Still, it is exactly the type of history that disability demands to be told, especially due to the universality of the disability experience. Doris and Frieda Zames remind us that “handicapism” is the only “ism” we all will experience if we live long enough. Although disability will always arguably be about physical differences (of body, mind, intellect, personality, etc.), its universal nature means that it should logically be the king/queen of identity politics, while it has long been the pauper. This story helps explain why that was and is today, and what America’s unique and sometimes unpleasant role in the story is. This text attempts not just to represent the American experience with disability but the American experience. The further we move away from 1990 and the passage of the ADA, the less that demarcation seems to be distinct and dichotomous, and the more America seems to be an abject case study of identity possibility in flux, placed squarely at the intersection of the rational and irrational, the qualitative and quantitative, the old and new, the individual and collective, and at the nexus of classic liberalism and neomodernism. In fact, the ADA was reauthorized in 2008, an indication of the constructivist nature of disability policy. This book is intended to be useful and informative, whether as a classroom textbook or as a conversation starter on the coffee table. It also uses the unique tools of the social historian to tell the story.
