  • Trophy Architects’ and Design as Rent‐seeking

    Open AccessPaul C Cheshire, Gerard H Dericks et al.ARTICLEEconomica2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 31

    Britain tightly restricts the supply of office space, creating substantial economic rents, but its development restrictions are politically administered and therefore gameable, inducing rent‐seeking activity. We find that ‘trophy architects’ ( TA s)—prior winners of a lifetime achievement award—obtain more space on a given site apparently by signalling architectural merit. Analysis of 2039 office buildings shows that TA s build 14 stories taller,…

  • Land use regulation and productivity—land matters

    Paul C Cheshire, Christian A L Hilber et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2014Citada por: 11Referencias: 1

    We use store-specific data for a UK supermarket chain to estimate the impact of planning on store output. Exploiting the variation in policies between England and other UK countries, we isolate the impact of Town Centre First (TCF) policies introduced in England. We find they directly reduced output by forcing stores onto less productive sites. We estimate TCF policies imposed a loss of output of 32% on a representative store opening after their …

  • Office Space Supply Restrictions in Britain

    Open AccessPaul C Cheshire, Paul Cheshire et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2008Citada por: 17Referencias: 15

    Office space in Britain is the most expensive in the world and regulatory constraints are the obvious explanation. We estimate the ‘regulatory tax’ for 14 British office locations from 1961 to 2005. These are orders of magnitude greater than estimates for Manhattan condominiums or office space in continental Europe. Exploiting the panel data, we provide strong support for our hypothesis that the regulatory tax varies according to whether an area …

  • Resurgent Cities, Urban Myths and Policy Hubris

    Open AccessPaul C CheshireARTICLEUrban Studies2006Citada por: 29Referencias: 26

    1. Structure and Aims of this Special IssueThis Special Issue has grown out of an inter-national Symposium on Resurgent Citiesheld in London in April 2004. More than40 papers were given on a range of issuesrelated to that unifying theme. We are nottrying to represent the sweep of these contri-butions here. It would not be possible, givenhow rich the available material was. Here,we have two, more narrowly focused objec-tives. The first is to put t…

  • Population growth in European cities

    Paul C Cheshire, Paul Cheshire et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2006Citada por: 19Referencias: 3

    CHESHIRE P. C. and MAGRINI S. (2006) Population growth in European cities: weather matters – but only nationally, Regional Studies 40, 23–37. This paper investigates differences in the rate of growth of population across the large city-regions of the European Union (EU)-12 between 1980 and 2000. The US model, which assumes perfect factor mobility, does not seem well adapted to European conditions. There is evidence strongly suggesting that equili…

  • Introduction to Feature

    Open AccessPaul C Cheshire, Paul Cheshire et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2004Citada por: 5Referencias: 1

    Paul Cheshire and Stephen SheppardSeeing a Feature concerned with house prices in this Journal would probably leadmost economists to expect a set of papers focusing on houses as financial assetsand the impact of house prices on consumption behaviour; or they might expectto find a real estate economics feature analysing what particular aspects of a housereally influence its price. At one level this Feature is concerned with all theseissues, althou…

  • Capitalising the Value of Free Schools

    Open AccessPaul C Cheshire, Paul Cheshire et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2004Citada por: 30Referencias: 13

    There has been a growing literature in both the US (for example Haurin and Brasington 1996, and Black 1999) and the UK (for example Gibbons & Machin, 2003) that estimates the way in which school quality is capitalised into house prices. Cheshire and Sheppard 1995 and 1999 estimated hedonic models in which the quality of the secondary school to which a household was assigned was a significant variable which provided evidence that secondary school …

  • More useful Londons

    Open AccessPaul C Cheshire, Galina GornostaevaARTICLEGeographica Helvetica2001

    London's development pattern graphically illustrates the importance and problems of urban definition. The pattern we observe is radically different depending on whether one examines the data for administrative definitions of London or London defined on functional boundaries. Even the answer to such an apparently simple question as to whether London was growing or declining varies according to the definition of London taken; the ambiguity as to wh…

  • Long-Term System Adjustment to Traffic Restrictions

    Open AccessPaul C Cheshire, A W Evans et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1998Referencias: 1

    In order to reduce congestion and improve the environment in Milan, a policy of restricting the entry of private vehicles to the historic centre of the city was initiated in 1985. The evidence on the effects of this policy is reviewed. There appears to have been increased use of taxis and commercial vehicles, as a substitute for cars. In addition, in the early years of the policy, when the restrictions only operated in the morning, there was a tr…

  • Inner Areas as Spatial Labour Markets

    Open AccessPaul C CheshireARTICLEUrban Studies1979Citada por: 5Referencias: 14

    After briefly sketching a suitable analytical framework for local labour markets the paper applies the analysis to the problems identified as peculiar to the inner city. It concludes that inner city labour market problems are not peculiar to such areas but result from the economics of urban structure compounded by general labour market deterioration

  • Joint consumption benefits in recreational site ‘surplus’; an empirical estimate

    Paul C Cheshire, M J StablerARTICLERegional Studies1976Citada por: 10Referencias: 1

    Cheshire P. C. and Stabler M. J. (1976) Joint consumption benefits in recreational site ‘surplus’; an empirical estimate, Reg. Studies 10, 343–351. The assumption of Clawson's technique that the journey represents a pure cost and can be used to evaluate the benefits of non-priced recreational sites is questioned. The estimate of consumers' surplus derived from the site alone is lowered if the journey itself yields utility, thus raising the proble…
