Residential development is a dynamic process, as changes in housing stock vary substantially over space and time. These spatiotemporal dynamics are expected to differ in various hierarchical levels of urban areas. Urban cores, peri-urban areas and predominantly rural areas are likely to...

Standard approaches to studying industrial agglomeration have been in terms of scalar measures of agglomeration within … each industry. But such measures often fail to distinguish spatial scales of agglomeration. In a previous paper, Mori and … agglomeration based on an explicit method for detecting spatial clusters. The first, designated as the global extent of industrial …

Given the importance of housing as a component of a household's worth and of aggregate national wealth, we ask: What variables determine housing value in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region? What is Rio's aggregate residential wealth (i.e., the sum of the values of all housing units) and its...

This paper develops and tests a theory of common property deforestation over space. The model examines both the spatial distribution of forest loss and the total amount of deforestation within a given community, showing how these outcomes are jointly determined. We estimate the equations of the...

Spatial economics aims to explain the location of economic activity. While the importance of the proximity to natural resources has declined considerably, distance and location have not disappeared from economic life. Recent work in spatial economics indicates that new forces, hitherto...

This paper studies the effect of transportation networks on spatial inequalities and redistribution within metropolitan areas. To do so, I build and calibrate a spatial equilibrium model of a city that features non-homotheticities and worker heterogeneity, allowing to capture rich patterns of...
