Urban expansion or clustered deconcentration?

Vermeulen, Wouter; Rouwendal, Jan - 2008

How should urban containment and the diversion of households to nearby residential areas be evaluated from a welfare economic perspective? Assuming the existence of a negative externality of city size, we develop a concise general equilibrium model for a mother city and a satellite. This...

The effect of railway travel on urban spatial structure

Dröes, Martijn I.; Rietveld, Piet - 2014

We examine the effect of railway travel on urban spatial structure in a polycentric urban land use model. We focus on the role of access to the railway network. We find that if the number of train stations is limited, the degree of urbanization is higher around train stations, but the effect of...

Externalities in urban sustainability

Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2000

This paper studies urban sustainability from the perspective ofexternalities. We develop a general spatialequilibrium model of a monocentric city, in which two types ofexternalities occur. On the one hand, pollution inthe industrial centre leads to a spatially differentiateddeterioration of the...

Externalities in the urban economy

Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2003

This paper is concerned with the economics of urban externalities. We start by reviewing the literature on urban … externalities, and observe that although many interesting contributions have been made, there seems to be sufficient scope and need … pursued in future research on urban externalities. These include (1) the explicit consideration of mutual interactions between …

Subsidies for intracity and intercity commuting

Borck, Rainald; Wrede, Matthias - 2008

agglomeration externalities, where workers may commute within and between cities. First, commuting subsidies serve to internalize … agglomeration externalities: Intracity commuting subsidies give incentives to move to the larger city and intercity commuting …

Land Use and Fiscal Competition

Buettner, Thiess - 2021

This paper explores the effects of fiscal competition on local land use. A theoretical analysis considers the tradeoff faced by a local government deciding about the amount of land made available for commercial or residential uses, when its expansion has adverse effects on the quality of life....

Supply constraints and housing prices

Aura, Saku; Davidoff, Thomas - 2006

This paper analyzes the effects of land use constraints on housing prices. We provide a new framework for evaluating policy when mobility across regions is allowed but limited. A key result is that loosening regulatory constraints within individual regions would have little effect on prices for...

Commuting subsidies with two transport modes

Borck, Rainald; Wrede, Matthias - 2007

We study a simple model of commuting subsidies with two transport modes. City residents choose where to live and which mode to use. When all land is owned by city residents, one group gains from subsidies what the other loses. With absentee landownership, city residents as a group gain at the...

Biodiversity and geography

Rauscher, Michael; Barbier, Edward B. - 2007

The paper combines an economic-geography model of agglomeration and periphery with a model of species diversity and looks at optimal policies of biodiversity conservation. The subject of the paper is natural biodiversity, which is inevitably impaired by anthropogenic impact. Thus, the economic...

Analysis of environmental costs of mobility due to urban sprawl : a modelling study on Italian cities

Travisi, Chiara M.; Camagni, Roberto; Nijkamp, Peter - 2006

A sound empirical and quantitative analysis on the relationship between different patterns of urban expansion and the environmental or social costs of mobility is rare, and the few studies available provide at best a qualitative discussion of these issues. Some recent tentative studies on the...
