This paper considers the widespread adoption of electric, shared, autonomous vehicles (AVs). Numerical simulations suggest falling transportation costs and changing center-city land use patterns will reshape the urban form of the city, with several primary consequences. The most likely scenarios...

A primary motivation of telework policy is to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Using a numerical simulation of the standard urban model, we show telework causes sprawl, calling into question the idea that telework decreases energy consumption. Overall effects depend on...

We develop a model of a monocentric, oil-exporting city. The model predicts producer price and transportation cost effects of oil price changes on the house price gradient. Empirical findings support the predictions, with house price changes positively linked to the price of oil in cities...
