Minimum lot size zoning requirements are a frequent policy tool used to restrict the density and location of residential development. Zoning regulations are typically instituted and adopted locally, often with limited input from surrounding jurisdictions. Autonomous local land use regulations...

Spatial equilibrium in housing markets implies that distant factors are correlated with prices in specific (focal) neighborhoods through market mechanisms. Using this logic, we develop a novel approach for handling price endogeneity in a reduced-form land use model. We combine a control function...

Land plays a critical part in determining the health of an urban ecosystem. One of its key roles is regulation of nutrient delivery. In this paper, we combine results from an IV duration model with a water quality model in a series of land use simulations to examine the impact that different...
