Are Shirking and Leisure Substitutable? An Empirical Test of Efficiency Wages Based on Urban Economic Theory

Ross, Stephen L.; Zenou, Yves - 2006

allow for behavioral substitution between leisure time at home and effort at work. In equilibrium, residing at a location … with a long commute affects the time available for leisure at home and therefore affects the trade-off between effort at … wages, which are both consistent with shirking and leisure being substitutable. …

Valuation of Marine Ecosystem Services in the Black Sea

Halkos, George; Zisiadou, Argyro; Aslanidis, … - 2024

The Black Sea region faces pressures on ecosystem services (ES) due to invasive species, waste, eutrophication, and biodiversity loss. We apply a stated preference technique, i.e. a choice experiment (CE), aiming to compare three hypothetical scenarios regarding the welfare impact of ES on...

Estimating the willingness to pay for urban esthetic projects using an inter-temporal equilibrium: a difference-in-differences hedonic approach

Kono, Tatsuhito; Sega, Kousuke; Seya, Hajime - 2020

Based on an inter-temporal general equilibrium model, we rigorously derive a measurement method using dynamic changes in cross-sectional hedonic prices to estimate the willingness to pay for urban esthetic projects. The method has advantages in common with a difference-in-differences approach....

Effect of changing urban farming landscape on financing livelihoods and food security of urban farmers’ households in Ghana

Acquah, Isaiah; Forson, Joseph Ato; Baah-Ennumh, … - 2019

High rate of concretization of urban areas presents a challenge to the sustainability of urban farms in Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), as farms are outcompeted to built-up areas for residential and commercial purposes. A major result of this concretization is a growing loss of farmlands in...

Is Renewable Energy A Curse or Blessing? Evidence from Solar Power

Long, Xianling; Huang, Kaixing; Xu, Shang - 2024

Employing a spatial equilibrium model and exploiting staggered solar farm installations across Chinese counties, this study reveals that solar energy development reduces local GDP per capita by an average of 2.7\%. This negative effect, primarily from competition for high-value land, is more...

Not in My Back Yard: The Local Political Economy of Residential Land-Use Regulations

Dobbels, Gregory; Tavakalov, Suren - 2024

We provide evidence that local preferences for neighborhood characteristics play an important role in shaping the political economy of residential land-use regulations and their distributional consequences. We leverage a land-use regulation reform in Houston, TX that reduced the minimum lot...

Disutility caused by remote work in urban system

Aizawa, Hiroki; Saka, Takuhiro - 2024

Remote work can affect population distribution in an urban system (i.e., a chain of cities). The current paper explores the effects of remote work on population distribution in an urban system, welfare, and utilities of workers. To examine these effects, we explore the equilibria of a New...

An urban general equilibrium model with multiple household structures and travel mode choice

Tscharaktschiew, Stefan; Hirte, Georg - 2009

Households in real cities are heterogeneous regarding their size and composition. An aspect usually neglected in urban models used to study economic and policy issues that arise in today's cities. We develop an urban general equilibrium model that takes a more complex household structure...

The impact of land use effects in infrastructure appraisal

Eliasson, Jonas; Savemark, Christian; Franklin, Joel - 2020

When benefits of proposed infrastructure investments are forecasted, residential location is usually treated as fixed, since very few operational transport models are able to forecast residential relocation. It has been argued that this may constitute a source of serious error or bias when...

Theories of urban externalities

Kanemoto, Yoshitsugu - 1980

In this monograph several aspects of externalities in cities are analyzed using extensions of a standard residential land use model. Topics covered are optimal and market city sizes, local public goods, traffic congestion, externalities between different types of households, and the growth of a...
