Urban expansion or clustered deconcentration?
Vermeulen, Wouter; Rouwendal, Jan - 2008
How should urban containment and the diversion of households to nearby residential areas be evaluated from a welfare economic perspective? Assuming the existence of a negative externality of city size, we develop a concise general equilibrium model for a mother city and a satellite. This...

The effect of railway travel on urban spatial structure
Dröes, Martijn I.; Rietveld, Piet - 2014
We examine the effect of railway travel on urban spatial structure in a polycentric urban land use model. We focus on the role of access to the railway network. We find that if the number of train stations is limited, the degree of urbanization is higher around train stations, but the effect of...

Externalities in urban sustainability
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2000
This paper studies urban sustainability from the perspective ofexternalities. We develop a general spatialequilibrium model of a monocentric city, in which two types ofexternalities occur. On the one hand, pollution inthe industrial centre leads to a spatially differentiateddeterioration of the...

Externalities in the urban economy
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2003
This paper is concerned with the economics of urban externalities. We start by reviewing the literature on urban … externalities, and observe that although many interesting contributions have been made, there seems to be sufficient scope and need … pursued in future research on urban externalities. These include (1) the explicit consideration of mutual interactions between …

The impact of mixed land use on residential property values
Koster, Hans; Rouwendal, Jan - 2010 - This version: October 15, 2010
Contemporary European urban planning policies aim to mix land uses in compact neighbourhoods. It is presumed that mixing land uses yields socio-economic benefits and therefore has a positive effect on housing values. In this paper, we investigate the impact of mixed land use on housing values...

Local knowledge spillovers and innovation persistence of firms
Holl, Adelheid; Peters, Bettina; Rammer, Christian - 2020
Recent empirical evidence has shown that firm’s innovation behavior exhibits high persistency but not much is known about potential contingencies affecting the degree of persistence. This paper focuses on the role of the local knowledge environment and asks how local knowledge spillovers...

The effects of railway investments in a polycentric city
Debrezion, Ghebreegziabiher; Pels, Eric; Rietveld, Piet - 2004
This paper analyses the effect of railway investment on land prices and land use in a polycentric city under various regulatory regimes of land markets. The introduction of a faster mode of transport (train), accessible in discrete locations leads to an extended city size. The stations of the...

The option value of vacant land : don't build when demand for housing is booming
Lange, Rutger-Jan; Teulings, Coen N. - 2021
Urban structures and urban growth rates are highly persistent. This has far-reaching implications for the optimal size and timing of new construction. We prove that rational developers postpone construction not because prospects are gloomy, but because they are bright. The slow mean reversion in...

Analysis of environmental costs of mobility due to urban sprawl : a modelling study on Italian cities
Travisi, Chiara M.; Camagni, Roberto; Nijkamp, Peter - 2006
A sound empirical and quantitative analysis on the relationship between different patterns of urban expansion and the environmental or social costs of mobility is rare, and the few studies available provide at best a qualitative discussion of these issues. Some recent tentative studies on the...

An inexact science : accounting for measurement error and downward bias in mode and location choice models
Donovan, Stuart; Graaff, Thomas de; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2023
Using commuting data for Brisbane, Australia, we find that accounting for measurement error in travel times causes the magnitude of parameters in mode and location choice models to increase approximately three-fold and 30-40%, respectively. Errors appear to be somewhat systematic, with travel...
