In this paper we specify a linear Cliff and Ord-type spatial model. The model allows for spatial lags in the dependent variable, the exogenous variables, and disturbances. The innovations in the disturbance process are assumed to be heteroskedastic with an unknown form. We formulate a multi-step...

In downtown areas, what proportion of curbside should be allocated to parking? In contrast to most previous work on the economics of parking, this paper focuses on optimal curbside parking capacity in both first-best (where pricing is efficient) and second-best (where pricing is inefficient)...

This paper studies tax policy interaction among local governments for both mobile and immobile tax bases. We exploit exogenous changes in the local tax setting of German municipalities due to participation in state debt reduction programs to learn about the size, scope and nature of strategic...

An unappreciated potential benefit of commuting subsidies is that they can expand the choice set of feasible job … opportunities in a way that facilitates a better job match quality. Variations in wages and initial commuting distances, combined … with major reforms of the commuting subsidy formula in Germany, generate worker-specific variation in commuting subsidy …

The paper discusses the tax treatment of commuting where wages and housing cost vary across locations. An income tax … distorts the locational choices of agents, who dislike commuting and have preferences for place of residence Wages, housing … cost and commuting cost determine how subsidising or taxing commuting affects behaviour and social efficiency. A subsidy …
