Abstract: Abstract Congestion, as used in economics, refers to situations where reductions in one or more inputs generate an increase in one or more outputs. Examples can be found in underground mining and agriculture. For example, too much fertilizer applied to a given plot could reduce the overall output. We here adopt the following definition of congestion from Cooper et al. (Annals of Operations Research, 66, 3–45, 1996).
