Showing papers in "Regional Science and Urban Economics in 1982"

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of non-monocentric urban land use is presented, which requires neither employment nor residential location to be specified a priori, and is capable of yielding multicentric pattern as well as monocentric and dispersed patterns, and generally yields multiple equilibria under each fixed set of parameter values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new view and more general formulations of static single commodity spatial equilibrium models, that lead to simpler and more efficient algorithms than those previously employed for solving models of this type.

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of locating a facility when competition from another facility is taken into consideration is addressed, and two problems are addressed here: 1) the location of a new facility that will attract the most buying power from an existing facility and 2) the best location of competing facility to be set up in the future.

TL;DR: A critical review of the methodological approaches that have been used to estimate the impacts of regional economic policies can be found in this paper, where a considerable variety of approaches are examined, ranging from questionnaire studies through single-and multiple-equation regression models to cost-benefit analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the concept of control groups with the widely used shift-share framework for evaluating regional policy, where control areas are selected on the basis of their similarity to the aided region in the pre-policy period.

TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium properties of the system of cities in an economy are investigated, and the characteristics of international trade between open economies composed of systems of cities are examined, through an evaluation of standard trade theorems.

TL;DR: In this article, a random element in the timing and location of industrial innovations is considered, whereas the growth or survival of particular firms is still governed by economic and demographic constraints in the urban or regional marketplace.

TL;DR: It is proved that markets are local optimal locations when such costs exist, and that a market is the only optimal solution under specific assumptions about the size of the fixed costs.

TL;DR: In this article, implicit relations between systemic variables are derived, which results in the proportionality of all systems push and pull effects and the choice of a reference unit as numeraire.

TL;DR: In this paper, the appropriate level of sophistication in regional econometric models is addressed by comparing the modeling methodologies for each of six diverse substate areas. But the results show that recursive model accuracy is relatively insensitive to forecast accuracy of the model-driving variable and simultaneous models are more accurate than recursive ones, but relative accuracies of aggregated and detailed simultaneous model are less clear.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize earlier work by incorporating price uncertainty and risk preferences into the problem of integrated production-location decision, and detailed comparative statics analyses are performed to identify the effects of price uncertainty, risk preferences, and production structure on the optimal solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of recent developments in facility location with geodesic distances, including the minisum or Weber problem, the minimax or Rawls problem, and the maximin or obnoxious facility problem.

TL;DR: This paper explores further the economics of the rural-urban population balance, using the method of comparative statics, and confirms the results obtained by Artle and his colleagues, usingthe method of excess demand analysis, thus demonstrating that the two methods of analysis are equivalent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ four different statistical techniques (geographic, AID, cluster and discriminant analysis) to define homogeneous groupings of houses within an urban area.

TL;DR: The more homogeneous its customers the easier it is for a monopolist to extract consumer surplus as discussed by the authors, and the profit opportunities this yields may result in a monopoly providing more product choice than is socially optimal.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical test of a hypothesis derived from a theoretical urban growth model developed by Brueckner and von Rabenau (1981) is presented, where housing developers choose among a number of infinite-horizon land-use strategies with the knowledge that the urban population will change discontinuously at a future date τ.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed to identify the net national employment effect and the particular shadow wage associated with Government office dispersal and the solution to the model shows the net employment effect to be positive suggesting the importance of dispersal as an instrument of regional policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the Herbert-Stevens model is presented which incorporates the dynamic aspects of the housing market in order to simulate the filtering process, and the model can be employed to show that discontinuous development can represent an efficient resource allocation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a slightly redefinition of the concept of quasi-welfare, calculating it by integrating the indirect demand functions (which do not depend upon income) rather than the inverted direct demand functions calculated for some given level of income.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of integration effects and export activities in the FRG with prediction based on different theoretical approaches is analyzed. And it is proved that integration has at most very slightly favored the higher agglomerated regions, and has not been to the detriment of the periphery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the redistributive impact of regional interest subsidies on investment and show that the effect of interest rate subsidies on the overall profits of a multiregional firm is significant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that these national effects are quite important and depend on the national and regional economic situation, and that regional policy may be used not only for reducing regional inequalities but also for improving national development.

TL;DR: In this paper, a special labor market program to support regions with high unemployment was introduced in the Federal Republic of Germany in the summer of 1979 and evaluated through analyses of the determinants of the take-up rate and estimates of the impact on the unemployment rate using Box-Jenkins analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the urban/rural shift of manufacturing industry in the United Kingdom on the evaluations which have been made of United Kingdom regional economic policy is investigated.

TL;DR: This paper presents a Markovian binary choice model for a heterogeneous population using a bivariate S BB mixing distribution, which includes Markov models with independent parameters, Last Place Loyal, Place Loyal and Bernoulli models.

TL;DR: It is shown that, for any combination of problem parameters, there are only two candidate points in the region for the optimum location of the facility in any convex and symmetric planar region.

TL;DR: A uni-location problem called UNILOC is formulated, uniting these three fractions of a pattern, and an algorithmic complex UNICOM is proposed for its investigation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the optimal allocation of land to competing uses, residential and transportation, in a built-up urban structure, where the land to be allocated is being produced by an optimal demolition activity of the standing housing stock.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal location decisions in a city where both residential and employment locations are endogenously determined are analyzed. And the model establishes that if location tax of the kind discussed by Koopmans and Beckman is imposed on both residential or employee locations, the private decisions of households and firms will produce an optimal pattern of location.
