Housing Externalities

Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - 2015

1999 and 2004, we study residential externalities. Specifically, we provide evidence that in neighborhoods targeted by the … consistent with externalities that fall exponentially with distance. In particular, we estimate that housing externalities … of between $2 and $6 per dollar invested in the program over a six-year period. We provide a simple theory that helps us …

Urban Networks : Connecting Markets, People, and Ideas

Glaeser, Edward L. - 2016

Should China build mega-cities or a network of linked middle-sized metropolises? Can Europe's mid-sized cities compete with global agglomeration by forging stronger inter-urban links? This paper examines these questions within a model of recombinant growth and endogenous local amenities. Three...

Bayer, Patrick J.; McMillan, Robert; Rueben, Kim S. - 2021

This paper introduces an equilibrium framework for analyzing residential sorting, designed to take advantage of newly available restricted-access Census microdata. The framework adds an equilibrium concept to the discrete choice framework developed by McFadden (1973, 1978), permitting a more...

Income Growth and the Distributional Effects of Urban Spatial Sorting

Couture, Victor - 2019

We explore the impact of rising incomes at the top of the distribution on spatial sorting patterns within large U.S. cities. We develop and quantify a spatial model of a city with heterogeneous agents and non-homothetic preferences for neighborhoods with endogenous amenity quality. As the rich...

Household Location Decisions and the Value of Climate Amenities

Sinha, Paramita - 2015

We value climate amenities by estimating a discrete location choice model for US households. The utility of each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) depends on location-specific amenities, earnings opportunities, housing costs, and the cost of moving to the MSA from the household head's...

Optimal Drug Policy in Low-Income Neighborhoods

Chang, Sheng-Wen; Coulson, N. Edward; Wang, Ping - 2021

Part of the debate over the control of drug activity in cities is concerned with the effectiveness of implementing demand- versus supply-side drug policies. This paper is motivated by the relative lack of research providing formal economic underpinning for the implementation of either policy. We...
