Work-from-home and cities
This paper analyzes the urban impacts of hybrid WFH in the simplest possible model, relying on Leontief utility and production functions and other simplifying assumptions. The analysis shows that introduction of WFH raises both the wage and household land consumption (raising worker utility) while shrinking the size of the business district and reducing business land rent. When WFH requires home work space, the city’s overall spatial size increas…
Government-directed urban growth, firm entry, and industrial land prices in Chinese cities
We examine the effects of a large-scale administrative reorganization in China, where counties are annexed into cities to accommodate urban spatial expansion. We present a simple model to illustrate how this government-directed urban growth via annexation may affect firm entry decisions and in turn land market outcomes. The key idea is that annexation indicates the direction of future urban expansion and helps coordinate expectation. Using nation…

Bunching in real-estate markets
This paper presents a real-estate application of the bunching methodology widely used in other areas of applied microeconomics. The focus is on regulated building heights in New York City, where developers can exceed a parcel’s regulated height by incurring additional costs. Using the bunching methodology, we estimate the magnitude of these extra costs, with the results showing a modest increase in the marginal cost of floor space beyond the regu…

JUE Insight
In rare theoretical treatments of ideas developed by Hamilton (1975, 1976) almost fifty wears ago, recent papers by Barseghyan and Coate (2016) and Calabrese et al. (2007) develop dynamic models to analyze zoning and property taxation in a system of communities. Their analyses led to negative conclusions, contradicting Hamilton’s view, by showing that efficient zoning does not emerge in equilibrium. The purpose of this note is to show that a diff…

Introduction to special issue on rural-urban migration in honor of Harris and Todaro
Regionalism Meets Samuelson
This paper studies an overlooked phenomenon in the provision of public goods, namely local production of a national public good, such as the manufacture of fighter planes (which contribute to national defence) in many different jurisdictions across a country. Because local production of the national good raises local incomes, each jurisdiction seeks to raise its share of the good's production. A subset of jurisdictions then forms a minimum winnin…
Commuting and migration
This paper studies the connection between interregional commuting and interregional migration, using data from the Czech Republic. In principle, prior commuting could either raise or lower the propensity to migrate, depending on whether the existence of commuting alters the benefits of migration by more than it changes the costs. The Czech data, however, indicate that commuting raises the likelihood of migration overall and for nonelderly age gro…

Gentrification and Neighborhood Housing Cycles
This paper identifies a new factor, the age of the housing stock, that affects where high- and low-income neighborhoods are located in U.S. cities. High-income households, driven by a high demand for housing services, tend to locate in areas of the city where the housing stock is relatively young. Because cities develop and redevelop from the center outward over time, the location of these neighborhoods varies over the city's history. The model p…

Airline Traffic and Urban Economic Development
This paper provides new evidence on the link between airline traffic and employment in US metropolitan areas. The evidence confirms the common view that good airline service is an important factor in urban economic development. Frequent service to a variety of destinations, reflected in a high level of passenger enplanements, facilitates easy face-to-face contact with businesses in other cities, attracting new firms to the metro area and stimulat…

The Economics of Urban Sprawl
Many commentators believe that the phenomenon of urban sprawl, which is characterized by vigorous spatial expansion of urban areas, is a symptom of an economic system gone awry. By transforming pastoral farmland into often-unattractive suburbs, sprawl is thought to disrupt a natural balance between urban and non-urban land uses, leading to a deplorable degradation of the landscape.' This sentiment is often translated into policy through zoning re…

The Rise and Fall of the Arm
This paper estimates an empirical model of the choice between adjustable- and fixe d-rate mortgages using a large national database compiled by the Nat ional Association of Realtors. The explanatory variables in the probi t choice equation include borrower characteristics, regional dummies, the FRM rate, and the FRM-ARM rate differential. Since the intrerest rate on the mortgage not chosen is unobserved, this rate must be est imated in a way that…

Why is central Paris rich and downtown Detroit poor?
Urban Sprawl
This article argues that urban spatial expansion results mainly from three powerful forces: a growing population, rising incomes, and falling commuting costs. Urban growth occurring purely in response to these fundamental forces cannot be faulted as socially undesirable, but three market failures may distort their operation, upsetting the allocation of land between agricultural and urban uses and justifying criticism of urban sprawl. These are th…
Do Local Governments Engage in Strategic Property—Tax Competition?
This paper uses spatial econometric methods to investigate property-tax competition among local governments. The theoretical model is drawn from the literature on tax competition, in which local jurisdictions choose property—tax rates taking into account the migration of mobile capital in response to tax differentials. Using a "spatial lag" econometric model, the paper estimates the reaction function of the representative community, which relates…
