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....

Farmland Preservation Programs In West Virginia: A Preliminary Inquiry into the Merits of Purchase Development Rights
Stalebrink, Odd; Wilkinson, Samuel - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007
To prevent the loss of farmland in West Virginia, the Voluntary Farmland Protection Act (VFPA) was passed in 2000. This act gives counties and the State authority to develop and fund local farmland protection programs, which typically involve a voluntary sale by a landowner of the right to...

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...

Endogenous vehicle-type choices in a monocentric city
Kim, Jinwon - In: Regional Science and Urban Economics 42 (2012) 4, pp. 749-760
Motivated by several empirical studies showing a positive relationship between residential density and vehicle fuel efficiency chosen by the residents, this paper presents a modified monocentric city model with endogenous vehicle-typechoices. Consumers are assumed to explicitly consider driving...
