Business Cycle and Homogeneity in the Residential Built Environment
Today, many of us find ourselves housed within large tracts that are homogeneous in that the dwellings around them are similar to our own. On the other hand, heterogeneity in built environments is often an outcome of redevelopment. Because they are often done one-off, conversions and reconstruction can gradually reduce the homogeneity of an environment. Miron (1999) presented a method (termed “EA Circles”) of measuring the homogeneity of the resi…
Enumeration Area (Ea) Circles
The Census of Canada tells us much about dwellings but little about neighborhood environment. If we want to know just how many Canadians live in homogeneous, modern, low-density suburbs, the best that many scholars can do presently is to assign each Census Tract (CT) to a category of neighborhood environment, and then add up counts of households in all CTs that fit into a specified category. However, Statistics Canada also provides summary data a…
Trajectoires familiales et espaces de vie en milieu urbain
L'étude des contextes d'habitat et des itinéraires résidentiels permet-elle de mieux comprendre ce qui se joue dans la vie du groupe domestique, dans les relations avec la parentèle et dans les rapports entre les générations ? Dans quelle mesure le logement et l'inscription dans des territoires sont-ils révélateurs de dynamiques familiales ? Réciproquement, quels effets ces dynamiques exercent-elles sur la localisation des ménages, sur la physion…
Affordability and the Demand for Separate Accommodation
The number of private households in Canada surged in the 1970s; at the same time, rental housing was becoming more affordable. Then, in the first half of the 1980s, affordability declined and household formation slowed. Were these changes in household formation attributable to changing affordability? In this paper, a model is estimated by means of logistic regression, in which the living arrangement of a family (or a nonfamily adult) is a choice …
Private Rental Housing
Almost three persons in ten in Canada currently rent their accommodation in the private sector: whether in the conventional or non-conventional rental stock. Over the past half-century, there have also been major improvements in financing and in the liquidity of the rental stock—widely thought to be important in attracting investment in rental housing—and all levels of Canadian government have experimented with a broad range of housing subsidies …
Security of Tenure, Costly Tenants and Rent Regulation
Many jurisdictions give residential tenants legislated packages of rights known generically as 'security of tenure', and some protect tenants further by prohibiting unjustified rent increases. The paper considers the effects of security of tenure on a competitive rental housing market. To illustrate the concepts, the paper describes current security of tenure and rent regulation provisions in the province of Ontario, Canada. A model of rational b…
Housing in Postwar Canada
Household formation, affordability, and housing policy
Housing in Postwar Canada
The size of Canadian households has been declining since at least the 1880s. Miron compares this trend to patterns of household size in England and the United States and argues that postwar changes in household formation in Canada were the result of several forces including the postwar baby boom, increased longevity, changes in marriage pattern, rising incidence of divorce, increased household affluence, and new forms of government assistance to …
Housing in Postwar Canada. Demographic Change, Household Formation and Housing Demand
Housing in Postwar Canada
Between 1945 and 1981 the Canadian population doubled, while the number of dwellings more than tripled. John Miron shows how changes in demographic structure and housing affordability affected postwar household formation and housing demand. He argues that no single explanation adequately reflects the extent of the impact of the demographic trends and the economic changes.
Rent Control
Nucleated Suburbanisation in a Competitive Market Economy
Land-use planners in many market economy countries have been intrigued by the possibility of creating suburbs which are spatially distinct from each other and from their metropolitan cores. Policies have been promoted in this regard to protect large-scale `green areas ' which might act partly as a visible buffer or separator between urban areas throughout a metropolitan region. Various benefits have been suggested by different proponents of this …
Nucleated Suburbanisation in a Competitive Market Economy
Job-Search Perspectives on Migration Behaviour
Although considerable empirical work has been undertaken to estimate interregional migration models, there has not been a corresponding attempt to construct more rigorous theoretical models. For over a decade, Sjaastad's (1962) basic analysis has been unsurpassed. The more recent paper by David (1974), however, attempts to lay a firm microeconomic and risk-analytic foundation for migration models by using concepts arising from job-search theory. …
