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...

Ride-hailing applications create new challenges for governments providing transit services, but also create new opportunities to raise tax revenue. To shed light on the effect of taxing or subsidizing ride-hailing applications, we extend a pseudo-monocentric city model to include multiple...
