A theory of rational spatial agglomerations
Mossay, Pascal - In: Regional Science and Urban Economics 43 (2013) 2, pp. 385-394
We model the behavior of rational forward-looking agents in a spatial economy. The economic geography structure is built on Fujita et al. (1999)'s racetrack economy. Workers choose optimally what to consume at each period, as well as which spatial itinerary to follow in the geographical space....

Optimal regulation on building size and city boundary: An effective second-best remedy for traffic congestion externality
Kono, Tatsuhito; Joshi, Kirti Kusum; Kato, Takeaki; … - In: Regional Science and Urban Economics 42 (2012) 4, pp. 619-630
This paper numerically evaluates the efficiency of regulations on building size and city size in a congested closed city by comparing welfare gain with that achieved under a first-best toll regime. Results show that whereas the urban growth boundary (UGB) is a poor substitute for the toll regime...
