Balancing fairness and efficiency in traffic routing via interpolated traffic assignment by Jalota, Devansh, Solovey, Kiril, Tsao, Matthew, Zoepf, Stephen, Pavone, Marco

“…We further leverage the structure of I-TAP to develop two pricing mechanisms to collectively enforce the I-TAP solution in the presence of selfish homogeneous and heterogeneous users, respectively, that independently choose routes to minimize their own travel costs. We mention that this is the first study of pricing in the context of fair routing for general road networks (as opposed to, e.g., parallel road networks).…”

PUERTO RICO : A NATIONAL HISTORY / by Meléndez Badillo, Jorell A., author 656083

“…The creation of the Puerto Rican Commonwealth in 1952 involved using a number of institutions to create the notion of cultural nationalism that was detached from the island's colonial status, included Puerto Ricans in the diaspora and was not contingent on obtaining national sovereignty. The last part of the book focuses on more recent developments from the neoliberal turn in the 1990s to current (and likely future) socio-economic and environmental crises"--…”
