We estimate the factors determining specialization of crop choice at the level of individual fields, distinguishing between the role of natural advantage (soil characteristics) and economies of density (scale economies achieved when farmers plant neighboring fields with the same crop). Using...

going to understand boom-bust housing cycles, we must incorporate housing supply. In this paper, we present a simple model … of housing bubbles that predicts that places with more elastic housing supply have fewer and shorter bubbles, with … smaller price increases. However, the welfare consequences of bubbles may actually be higher in more elastic places because …
