This dissertation consists of several essays that study how people
behave when using (semi-) public facilities, in particular university
facilities and parking spaces. It focuses on behaviour that can be
influenced by policy makers, most notably by using pricing tools.
One important reason why the pricing of (semi-) public facilities is
often non-optimal, is that externalities that result from facility use
are not reflected in the price mechanism. In addition, a low price of
facility use can lead to overconsumption. This dissertation analyses the 
consequences of (not) pricing the public facilities in an adequate way.
