Larger cities typically give rise to two effects working in opposite directions: tougher competition among firms and higher production costs. Using an urban model with substitutability of production factors and pro-competitive effects, we study how market outcome responds to city population...

The process to introduce the idea of land readjustment to a number of Asian developing countries-mainly sponsored by the Japanese government-has been one of the most significant international collaborations in urban planning in the twentieth century. When such processes succeed, they can replace...

We apply the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to surveying empirical studies on urban land value. We show that research attention is directed by market size and data availability towards developed economies and residential land. Two distinct patterns of literature evolution emerge,...

Urban development projects have many effects on society, such as improving mobility, health, education, and sustainability. For policy-relevant measures, it is important that policymakers are able to foresee how quality improvements influence the price of land. Therefore, our objective is to...

We propose a new nonparametric approach to estimate the production function for housing. Our estimation treats output as a latent variable and relies on the first-order condition for profit maximisation with respect to non-land inputs by competitive house builders. For parcels of a given size,...

We use new property-level data to estimate the price of land from 2000 to 2013 for nearly the universe of detached single-family homes in the Washington, DC metro area and characterize the housing boom-bust cycle in land and house prices at a fine geography. The data show that land prices were...
