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 …

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...

An inexact science : accounting for measurement error and downward bias in mode and location choice models
Donovan, Stuart; Graaff, Thomas de; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2023
Using commuting data for Brisbane, Australia, we find that accounting for measurement error in travel times causes the magnitude of parameters in mode and location choice models to increase approximately three-fold and 30-40%, respectively. Errors appear to be somewhat systematic, with travel...

Greasing the wheels of trade
Dalen, Hendrik P. van; Vuuren, Aico van - 2003
How much does a nation spend on resources to 'grease the wheels of trade'? To examine this question the Dutch economy is used as an exemplary case as the Netherlands are known as a nation of traders. This image was derived in the seventeenth century from successes in long distance trade,...

Marketmaking middlemen
Gautier, Pieter; Hu, Bo; Watanabe, Makoto - 2016
This paper develops a model in which market structure is determined endogenously by the choice of intermediation mode. We consider two representative business modes of intermediation that are widely used in real-life markets: one is a middleman mode by which an intermediary holds inventories...

Discrete choice models for commuting interactions
Rouwendal, Jan; Levkovich, Or; Mulalic, Ismir - 2017 - This version: July 27, 2017
An emerging quantitative spatial economics literature models commuting interactions by a gravity equation that is mathematically equivalent to a multinomial logit model. This model is widely viewed as restrictive because of the independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) property that links...
