Neighborhood dynamics and the housing price effects of spatially targeted economic development policy

Krupka, Douglas J.; Noonan, Douglas S. - 2009

Neighborhoods are the result of a complicated interplay between residential choice, housing supply and the influences of the larger metropolitan system on its constituent parts. We model this interplay as a system of reduced-form equations in order to examine the effects of a generous spatially...
