A complete characterization of mean wait times for citizens in the non-preemptive corruption regime

Amitrajeet Batabyal and Seung Jick Yoo

Applied Economics Letters, 2006, vol. 13, issue 12, 759-762

Abstract: Recently, Batabyal and Yoo (2004) have used a queuing model with two types of citizens (high and low opportunity cost of time) to compute mean wait times in queue for the so called non-preemptive corruption regime. The purpose of this note is to extend the Batabyal and Yoo (2004) analysis. Specifically, a queuing model with [image omitted] types of citizens is first studied. Next, mean wait times in queue are calculated for all n types of citizens. Finally, the implications of the findings are discussed.
