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...

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...

Housing supply and land use regulation in the Netherlands
Vermeulen, Wouter; Rouwendal, Jan - 2007 - Version July 2007
In spite of a growing recognition of the importance of supply conditions for the level and volatility of house prices, empirical work on housing supply outside the US is scarce. This paper considers various measures of housing supply in the Netherlands, where real house prices have roughly...

Does land use planning shape regional economies?
Vermeulen, Wouter; Ommeren, Jos van - 2008
Why has job growth over the past decades been weaker in the Dutch Randstad area than in surrounding regions? In a simultaneous equations analysis, we find that employment adjusts to the regional supply of labour. Net internal migration is predominantly determined by regional housing supply and...
