A New Measure of Inequality in Asian Economies
The paper describes a new measure of inequality the Pashum ratio, which was first used in the UNDP Human Development Report for 2020 of Pakistan. The latest estimates of the extent of income inequality are derived from 18 Asian economies using the Gini coefficient and the Pashum ratio respectively. The relative position of nine out of the 18 countries varies in the two measures. Also, the greatest inequality among quintiles is observed in virtual…
Suburban Minimum Lot Zoning and Spatial Equilibrium
Demand for Housing Attributes in Developing Countries
The paper has applied a conventional framework of analysis of implicit markets to determine the characteristics of demand for housing attributes of quantity and quality in the urban areas of a large, low-income developing country like Pakistan. Income elasticities generally appear to be low, although somewhat higher for indicators of quality. Own-price elasticities are high while the cross-price effects with respect to different attribute prices …
General Equilibrium Effects of Local Taxes
Comparative Statics Analysis of Urban Land Values in the Presence of Government Regulation
The paper undertakes comparative statics of urban land values in the presence of government regulation of density or rent in the central city or at the periphery. The principal finding is that the conclusions of Wheaton (1974) regarding the flattening of the rent curve due to a rise in income or its steepening following an increase in transport cost need not always hold in the presence of such regulation. Results of the comparative statics are us…
Determinants of Household Formation in a Third World Setting
This paper analyses the determinants of household formation in a large metropolitan city (Karachi) in a low-income, developing country (Pakistan) by comparing the sample characteristics of nuclear households with those of 'nuclei' within joint households. Contrary to expectations, the results indicate the lack of influence of income and education. The primary impetus to the creation of new households is provided by new migrants, by working women …

The case for heterogeneity of cities
Maximum Lot Size Zoning in Developing Countries
This paper identifies the principal motivations for resort to land rationing in the form of maximum lot size zoning in developing countries. Consequences of such regulation on utility levels, land values and metropolitan area are analysed within the spatial, general equilibrium framework of a 'semi-closed' city with two income groups—the poor and the rich. The paper demonstrates that realisation of the anticipated benefits from the regulation dep…
Housing Demand in Developing Countries
This paper analyses the characteristics of housing demand in the formal and informal housing markets of a large metropolitan city (Karachi) in a developing country (Pakistan) with low per capita incomes. While results of earlier research are confirmed in the case of the formal housing market, the explanatory power of the conventional housing demand specification is very limited in the informal sector. This is attributed to the impact of outward r…
The Differential Incidence of a Land Tax
The paper analyses the sharing of the burden of a land tax between consumers and owners of land at different points in a 'semi-closed' city. The basic conclusion is that the pattern of differential incidence of the tax depends upon the magnitude of the elasticity of substitution between land and the composite private good in the utility function of residents. The share of the burden on landowners increases (decreases) as the periphery is approach…
Housing for Temporary Residents
Pilgrims to Makkah in Saudi Arabia have a strong preference for locating in the central area of the city, in proximity to the Haram (a mosque). Available evidence suggests that this has led to considerable overcrowding and congestion. The objective of this paper is to identify the scope for decentralising the location of such temporary residents. In this connection, a model of seasonal housing markets is set up to study the impact of different pr…
