How Streetcars Shaped Suburbanization: A Granger-Casality Analysis of Land Use and Transit in The Twin Cities
Xie, Feng; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2008
This paper presents a causality analysis of the coupled development of population and streetcars in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Historic residence and network data were assembled for 1900-1930, and linear cross-sectional time-series models were estimated at both a tract and block level...

Does First Last: The Existence and Extent of First Mover Advantages on Spatial Networks
Levinson, David; Xie, Feng - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2007
This paper examines the nature of first mover advantages on spatially-differentiated surface transportation networks. The literature on first mover advantages identifies a number of sources that explain their existence. However whether those sources exist on spatial networks, and how they play...

The causal effect of transport infrastructure: Evidence from a new historical database
Lindgren, Erik; Pettersson-Lidbom, Per; Tyrefors, Björn - 2021
In this paper, we analyze the effect of transport infrastructure investments in railways. As a testing ground, we use …. Importantly, we find extremely large reduced-form effects of having access to railways. For real nonagricultural income, the … that simultaneous/coordinated investment, such as large infrastructure investment in railways, can generate economic growth …

Accessibility and Housing Price Resilience : Evidence from Limited-Access Roadways
Concas, Sisinnio - 2012
This paper investigates the hypothesis that houses located in proximity of limited-access roadways exhibit a resilience to price decline during and after exogenous market downturns. Using a quasi-experimental design, we look for empirical evidence of price differentials before, during, and after...

Models of Transportation and Land Use Change: A Guide to the Territory
Iacono, Michael; Levinson, David; El-Geneidy, Ahmed - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2007
Modern urban regions are highly complex entities. Despite the difficulty of modeling every relevant aspect of an urban region, researchers have produced a rich variety models dealing with inter-related processes of urban change. The most popular types of models have been those dealing with the...

Evolution of the Second-Story City: The Minneapolis Skyway System
Corbett, Michael; Xie, Feng; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2007
This paper describes and explains the growth of the Minneapolis Skyway network. Accessibility is used as a major factor in understanding that growth (i.e. does the network connect to the location(s) with the highest accessibility, followed by the second highest, and so on). First, employment...

Self Organization of Surface Transportation Networks
Levinson, David; Yerra, Bhanu - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2006
This research investigates the self-organization of surface transportation networks. Using a travel demand model coupled with revenue, cost, and investment models, experiments are run under a variety of parameters on a grid network. It is found that roads, contiguous sections of multiple links...
