Polycentric city and multi-worker households: an agent-based microeconomic model
Lemoy, Rémi; Raux, Charles; Jensen, Pablo - HAL - 2013
Polycentrism in cities is studied with the help of an agent-based model grounded in the Alonso, Muth, Mills (AMM) framework, using microeconomic interactions between heterogeneous agents. This model is shown to reproduce the standard urban equilibrium with two income groups. Two job centers at...

Monocentric analysis of restricting the budget share of housing alone or with transportation
Coulombel, Nicolas - HAL - 2008
Considering the prolonged rise of energy price and the still elevated housing prices, the policy to limit the share of housing expenses in the households' budget, so as to secure their solvability, has been criticized. Supposedly, it induces people to get farther from the city center in search...

A small model of equilibrium mechanisms in a city
Palma, André De; Proost, Stef; Loo, Saskia Van Der - HAL - 2013
We use a simple economy with two interconnected geographical zones. Individuals can live and work in one of the two zones or can commute between them. This model is used to explore the dynamics of housing and work decisions after a permanent shock in labour demand occurred in one of the two...

Where in cities do "rich" and "poor" people live? The urban economics model revisited
Lemoy, Rémi; Raux, Charles; Jensen, Pablo - HAL - 2013
We exploit the power of the Alonso-Mills-Muth (AMM) urban economics model and show that various utility functions and plausible conditions offer alternative explanations of households' location by income within a city. These include the existence of a "rich" center and more complex socio-spatial...

How to make the metropolitan area work ? Neither big government, nor laissez-faire
Gaigné, Carl; Riou, Stéphane; Thisse, Jacques-François - HAL - 2013
We study how political boundaries and fiscal competition interact with the labor and land markets to determine the economic structure and performance of metropolitan areas. Contrary to general belief, institutional fragmentation need not be welfare-decreasing, and commuting from the suburbs to...

Environmental Tax and the Distribution of Income among Heterogeneous Workers
Chiroleu-Assouline, Mireille; Fodha, Mouez - HAL - 2009
This paper analyzes the environmental tax policy issues when labor is heterogeneous. The objective is to assess whether an environmental tax policy could be Pareto improving, when the revenue of the pollution tax is recycled by a change in the labor tax properties. We show that, depending on the...

Choice of new attributes in the 'Elimination by Aspects' duopoly
Reynald-Alexandre, Laurent - HAL - 2006
The "Elimination by aspects" (EBA) duopoly of product differentiation (Laurent, 2006a) was constructed from the discrete model of probabilistic choice worked out by Tversky (1972a,b). In this framework, an unique price equilibrium exists with a "differentiation by attributes", which embodies...
