Showing papers in "Regional Science and Urban Economics in 1983"

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiobjective integer programming formulation for the analysis of the land acquisition problem is presented, which incorporates the discrete and multi-objective nature of land acquisition.

TL;DR: In this article, empirical cross-sectional productivity equations show that capital intensity accounts for much of the urban productivity advantage and measures of business services, localization effects, congestion, infrastructure, and labor quality are then included in the equations.

TL;DR: A concise review of evaluation methods for decision problems in which qualitative data is involved is provided, with special attention paid to a new qualitative evaluation method: the regime method.

TL;DR: In this article, two alternative specification strategies for spatial economic modelling are proposed to improve the current spatial econometric modelling approach and used for a specification analysis of agricultural output in Eire.

TL;DR: In this paper, a clarification of the specific conditions under which the linear complementary programming (LCP) formulation is applicable in such areas as spatial and temporal price and allocation modeling is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe their experiences with the application of a multiple criteria decision method (IMGP=Interactive Multiple Goal Programming) for the evaluation of economic policy in the Netherlands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of results of dynamical system theory to urban retail models is discussed and the economic consequences of parameter changes are described, and the results are aggravated to the situation of a two zonal system.

TL;DR: While there are already many methods for multiobjective analysis, this field would gain from further methodological reflection, encompassing various approaches to multiobjectives optimization and decision making.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of location under price uncertainty employing a general utility and production function is presented, where risk preferences of the firm are treated as an integral part of the model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the development of empirically tractable mixed continuous time stochastic models for analysis of intra-urban residential histories and identified the effect of tenure type, age of household head, size of household and duration of stay on movement probabilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the causes of crime and the differences in deterrent effects of policing on crimes among rural, suburban, and urban communities, and empirically revealed the deterrence effect of police expenditures upon all types of property crimes except robberies.

TL;DR: A model of urban population density functions is proposed that uses all available data on densities in urban areas to postulate that population density at each census tract in each city is determined by city size, transportation costs, land supply, income and age of city.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and estimated a cost model for gas distribution using capital costs, gas market, and population density data over cross-sections of communities served by two different utilities, with a particular emphasis on the multiproduct, multidimensional character of gas distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize the optimal tax policy of a central-city government whose goal is to redistribute income from the rich to the poor to maximize the intertemporal utility of the latter group.

TL;DR: In this article, a model containing forty-two stochastic equations and thirty-two identities was designed to explain variation in manhours of work, employment, weekly wages and the wage bill by sector of activity for the Youngstown-Warren SMSA.

TL;DR: The potential of multiple objective analysis for analyzing conflicts in a spatial-economic-environmental system and various empirical results of an interregional model for the Netherlands will be presented.

TL;DR: A new, comprehensive and detailed model of construction activity is presented, intended primarily for forecasting applications, that generates forecasts of new construction starts for each of the 50 states of the United States.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method is developed using n-person game theory together with multiple objective programming and is applied to aid-regional decisions on utility coal conversions, which are evaluated based upon measures of economic efficiency, environmental degradation and distributive equity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for evaluating nationwide and interregional transportation system change from the viewpoint of the user's welfare, which is based on an adaptation of the household production approach, and represents a departure from traditional methods of evaluation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the U.S. tax system encourages investment in owner-occupied housing by allowing consumers to deduct mortgage interest and to exclude net imputed rental income from taxable income.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general practitioner location-allocation model is presented which can be used to analyze the availability and distribution of general practitioner medical services and locate new practitioner services while insuring minimum levels of income for all general practitioners, decreasing any mal distribution of practitioner services and increasing the number of people that are provided accessible services.

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of household consumption of goods, time and locomotion is proposed in which time allocation theory and urban economic theory are shown to be special cases, and the contributions of this temporal-spatial theory in terms of enriching consumer behavior theory and providing a robust basis for analyzing transportation economics are outlined.

TL;DR: The problem is addressed, whereby equilibrium states are sought for situations where one group is the planning authority, exercising policy instruments to influence system outcome at a level different to that required to reasonably describe the macro behaviour or objectives of all groups in the system, including the authority itself.

TL;DR: The concept of the international element and some of the problems involved in its measurement are first discussed and a simple correlation-index p for the calculation of international element in a time-series is presented as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the appearance of the controversial Moses-Prednhl pull is due to the two-stage approach (the separation of the production decision and the location decision) which has been applied in the neoclassical location theory.

TL;DR: This note shows that the suggested procedure is analytically equivalent to the traditional estimation procedure, and the hypothesis-testing procedure is incorrect, invalidating the authors' conclusions concerning the interjurisdictional mobility of urban criminals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal spatial price patterns derived on the basis of welfare maximization were investigated under alternative spatial pricing policies, including discriminatory, fo.b., and c.i.f. pricing.

TL;DR: A model is presented for multicriterion decision making with the objectives in the form of constraints or targets and the versatility criterion is used in selecting the feasible policy which maximizes the probability of attaining the objectives.

TL;DR: The authors compare and contrast the development of policy analysis models by two competing groups of researchers: microeconomic simulation and regional modellers, concluding that each group has major contributions to make to the other's effort.
