| Abstract: | In this paper, we demonstrate that, through policy interventions, in the form of subsidies, a system‐optimum for a multiclass human migration network can be achieved, despite the migrants, who can be refugees, behaving in a user‐optimized manner. The formulation and analysis are conducted using variational inequality theory. The policy intervention allows governmental decision‐makers to moderate the flow of migrants while enhancing societal welfare. An algorithm is proposed and applied to compute the solutions to a series of numerical examples, with changes in initial populations and utility functions, inspired by a pandemic, followed by a natural disaster. |
