Are riskier cities more compact? An empirical study of the 11 largest census metropolitan areas in Canada, 2016
Why are some cities more compact than others? We argue that riskier housing markets have a costlier real option; developers would require greater compensation to build now—thus, developers are being incentivized to delay, giving rise to more compact cities. We test this hypothesis cross-sectionally for Canada's 11 largest census metropolitan areas. We interpret satellite imageries and estimate a hierarchical spatial autoregressive model to accoun…

Changing Ties in a Far-Flung, Multidisciplinary Research Network
We study a multidisciplinary, geographically dispersed, and multi-institutional research network that shows the complex relationships in collaborative research. Although collaborative work ties declined, the number of friendship and advice ties stayed stable and acquaintanceship ties grew. Most researchers seem satisfied with the network and relish the opportunities for cross-disciplinary exchanges. The benefits of the network do not lie in the t…
Distance patterns of personal networks in four countries
Does Distance Matter in the Age of the Internet
This study is part of the broad debate about the role of distance and technology for interpersonal contact. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that systematically and explicitly compares the role of distance in social networks pre- and post-Internet. An analysis is made of the effect of distance on the frequency of e-mail, phone, face-to-face and overall contact in personal networks, and the findings are compared with …

Do Two-earner Households Base Their Choice of Residential Location on Both Incomes
This article focuses on the role of individual incomes in the residential location decisions of two-earner households. Conventional studies often treat households as a black box and describe them by a single utility function. The article raises the question, "Is the household utility paradigm an adequate framework for understanding the location decisions of two-earner households?". It tests an implication of the household utility paradigm-the inc…
The Life Stages and Housing Decisions of Young Households
Conventional housing studies often model a household's housing demand and tenure choice as a joint decision; life stages are 'taste' variables that shift the housing demand function. In this study, as in conventional ones, I treat housing demand and tenure choice as a joint decision. Unlike in conventional studies, however, I argue that some life stages are endogenous and that an individual chooses to opt in or out of some of these stages-to stay…
Sharing the Risk of Home-ownership
This paper examines the relationships among the desirability of home-ownership, price risks and the return of housing investment. It argues that price risks may undermine the desirability of ownership, using both a theoretical and an empirical approach. The theoretical model studies aspatially the equilibrium house prices in a two-good, pure exchange economy, where investors (consumers) differ in their level of risk aversion. It shows that larger…
The Impact of Withdrawing Subsidies for New Rental Housing
Senior governments in Canada are no longer subsidising new social housing. Instead, they rely on municipalities and encourage the development of new and innovative approaches to the housing problems of the poor. This study projects the magnitude of the rental stock additions that Ontario municipalities will have to produce over the next 25 years. The large 1991 census micro-data files are used to estimate the relevant parameters. The projections …
