Residential Mobility: Contrasting Approaches in Europe and the United States
Major differences exist in patterns of residential mobility and in theories about them in the US compared with European countries. The divergent histories and institutional arrangements of the two areas foster specific types of mobility and hinder others. To explain the mobility in each setting, theorists have selected methods and variables that make their approaches seem unsuitable when applied to the other area. Variety among European countries…
Mobility and Affordability in US Housing
In the US, affordability is changed by some housing policies that are set nationally and by others set locally. Since interventions tend to change rents and prices from market equilibrium levels, they usually lower the volume of transactions, hence mobility. Upon close examination, however, data from the 25 largest US cities do not support the (negative) association of mobility with intervention as strongly as do data comparing different countrie…

Land Prices and Housing in Manila
For decades, exceptionally high land prices in Metropolitan Manila have co-existed with much vacant urban land. A 1991 survey of 3003 households suggests, however, that, by the standards of other countries, neither dwelling prices nor rents are high in Manila compared with family incomes. Relatively high land prices have instead led households to spend much less on structures and to accept low housing welfare although the availability of skilled …
Housing Market Interventions and Mobility: An International Comparison
Government interventions in housing markets usually have a strong side effect of lowering residential mobility. Interventions tend to raise the price of owner-occupied dwellings and to lower rents compared with household incomes. An index of these two tendencies is calculated for major conurbations of 16 countries. Among these, Switzerland, South Korea, Sri Lanka and the former German Democratic Republic are of particular interest. The rank order…

Home-Based Enterprises in Cities of Developing Countries
Types of Neighbourhood and Home-Based Enterprises: Evidence from Lima, Peru
Home-based enterprises are likely to proliferate for decades in developing countries, but their productivity depends on access, cost of space, density of settlement, and other neighbourhood characteristics. Over a thousand households and home enterprises were surveyed in Lima, Peru, in 1980 and 1983, to explain why the frequency and composition of these enterprises varies with seven types of neighbourhood. The enterprises both cause and reflect d…

The Risks of Innovation in 20th Century Manufacturing Methods
HAS THE RISKINESS of introducing novel manufacturing methods changed in this century? It is a commonplace that the cost and serviceability of process innovations continue to be forecast with great inaccuracy, with over-optimism obviously the more frequent error. But have the innovators, those who financed the research and development, usually suffered long-run losses for that reason and to an extent comparable with losses by style changers, Ford …

Creative Destruction and Partial Obsolescence in American Economic Development
With the growing emphasis on structural change and Schumpeterian innovation in economic development, the paradoxical concept “creative destruction” has come into wide use among economists and economic historians. It is an appealing concept because it recalls the death and birth cycles of nature and various tribal myths of gods shuttling between ferocity and compassion. But the concept has been applied to economic situations rather casually. This …
