Continuous Logit Polycentric City Model

Ease vs. Noise: On the Conflicting Effects of Transportation Infrastructure

Ahlfeldt, Gabriel; Nitsch, Volker; Wendland, Nicolai - 2016

Many transport technologies cause a gnot ]in ]my ]backyard h (NIMBY) reaction of locals in that they often oppose the nearby location of necessary infrastructure despite benefiting from greater mobility. We employ quasi ]experimental research methods to disentangle the offsetting noise and...

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...

Work-from-Home and Cities: An Elementary Spatial Model

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2024

This paper analyzes the urban impacts of hybrid WFH in the simplest possible model, relying on Leontief utility and production functions and other simplifying assumptions. The analysis shows that introduction of WFH raises both the wage and land consumption of households while shrinking the size...
