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...

Space and Knowledge Spillovers in European Regions
Caragliu, Andrea - 2013
Usually, the diffusion of a non-rival market knowledge externality - called a Knowledge Spillover (KS) - is related to geographical proximity. In this paper we explore the channels through which knowledge spreads. Compared with earlier work on KS measures, this study makes a step forward by...

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...

Did Zipf anticipate socio-economic spatial networks?
Reggiani, Aura; Nijkamp, Peter - 2012
An avalanche of empirical studies has addressed the validity of the rank-size rule (or Zipf's law) in a multi-city context in many countries. City size in most countries seems to obey Zipf's law, but the question under which conditions (e.g. sample size, spatial scale) this 'law' holds remained...

Multidimensional urban sprawl in Europe : a self-organizing map approach
Arribas-Bel, Daniel; Nijkamp, Peter; Scholten, Henk J. - 2010
The present paper considers urban sprawl in Europe from a multi- dimensional and exploratory point of view. Several literatures on the topic (mainly from urban economics, but also from other fields such as urban planning or regional science) are reviewed to extract the main dimensions of the...
