Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988. Leading international researchers in regional economic development have contributed an integrated set of chapters reviewing the whole field and taking stock of current thinking. The book is in honour of François Perroux, the father of regional development theory, whose contributions to two important concepts in economics – time and space – have been substantial. The book comprises five parts. Part one covers Perroux's work in general and on growth poles in particular. Part two deals with 'the politics of place', population and regional development, techniques for regional policy analysis and a neoclassical approach to regional economics. In part three the Canadian scene is reviewed at national and regional levels. In part four chapters on urban development, small and medium-size cities, and capital grants deal with the experiences of other countries. Part five concludes the book with a chapter on growth poles, optimal size of cities, and regional disparities and government intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation consists of three essays on U.S. regional economics. The aim of the research is to understand the variations in economic outcomes across regions and how those persistent differences can be reduced. In particular, I study the geographic patterns and the determinants of internal migration, and examine the development of social capital. In the first chapter, I document U.S. internal migration between the period from 1960-2000 using a newly collected data set. I find that the recent decline in migration is driven by lower migration across states, while within state migration has increased during the observed periods. To explain this, I use a gravity framework and estimate the effect of state borders on migration flows. I find that the border effect is strongly significant, and within state migration is 3.2 times higher than across state migration. Furthermore, the border effect has increased from 2.7 in 1960 to 3.6 in 2000. I show that the differences in social and economic characteristics between areas contribute to a larger state border effect, and the increase of the border effect over time is associated with the rising differences in house prices as states implement more restrictive land use regulations. I find that this is due to lower in-migration in states that are highly regulated in land uses. For high income destinations, the rise in regulations can explain all of the increase in the border effect. In the second chapter, I examine the effect of political differences on migration decisions and provide empirical evidences of partisan geographic sorting among American migrants. Using presidential election returns and the same migration data for the period from 1960-2000, I show that political differences between areas decrease migration, as Americans prefer to live in areas with similar ideology and political views. I find that there are a lower number of migrants between places that supported different political parties, and migration flows decrease as differences in vote shares increase. In addition, I do not find evidence that Americans are increasingly sorting by partisanship over time, which is previously known in the literature as the "big sort" hypothesis. The last chapter studies the level of social trust across regions in the United States, and how it arises using natural disasters as exogenous shocks between 1973 and 2010. Every year, the United States is hit by natural disasters that take away lives and cause property damage. In the event of a natural disaster, the victims are more likely to have increased interaction with others. If the experience of increased social interaction is positive, this can positively affect the level of social trust. To test this, I combine two U.S. survey data sets with the natural disaster data, and find that the individuals who have recently experienced natural disasters are more likely to have higher level of trust. One standard deviation increase in natural disasters is associated with an increase of 0.014 standard deviations in trust. I also provide evidence of positive social experiences by showing that natural disasters are associated with an increase in cooperation with neighbors.

Book Synopsis An Essay on Urban Economic Theory by : Yorgos Y. Papageorgiou
Download or read book An Essay on Urban Economic Theory written by Yorgos Y. Papageorgiou and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years, urban economic theory has been one of the most active areas of urban and regional economic research. Just as static general equilibrium theory is at the core of modern microeconomics, so is the topic of this book - the static allocation of resources within a city and between cities - at the core of urban economic theory. An Essay on Urban Economic Theory well reflects the state of the field. Part I provides an elegant, coherent, and rigorous presentation of several variants of the monocentric (city) model - as the centerpiece of urban economic theory - treating equilibrium, optimum, and comparative statistics. Part II explores less familiar and even some uncharted territory. The monocentric model looks at a single city in isolation, taking as given a central business district surrounded by residences. Part II, in contrast, makes the intra-urban location of residential and non-residential activity the outcome of the fundamental tradeoff between the propensity to interact and the aversion to crowding; the resulting pattern of agglomeration may be polycentric. Part II also develops models of an urbanized economy with trade between specialized cities and examines how the market-determined size distribution of cities differs from the optimum. This book launches a new series, Advances in Urban and Regional Economics. The series aims to provide an outlet for longer scholarly works dealing with topics in urban and regional economics.

Book Synopsis Essays in Regional Economic and Environmental Policy Analysis by : Andrew William Schreiber
Download or read book Essays in Regional Economic and Environmental Policy Analysis written by Andrew William Schreiber and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is composed of three essays on regional economic analysis of environmental and natural resource policy. My intent in this collection of essays is to demonstrate how advances in data availability and modeling capabilities can facilitate evidence based economic research of policy at the subnational level in the United States. In the first essay, I assess the costliness of water allocation restrictions for irrigators and the broader regional economy. I base the analysis on a calibrated multi-sectoral, multi-regional computable general equilibrium model, and use the model to evaluate economic mechanisms which could improve water and factor utilization in the production of agricultural goods. To achieve this purpose, I use county level economic data and spatial data on groundwater withdrawals for the Central Sands of Wisconsin. Restrictions produce heterogeneous impacts on employment and welfare across counties, depending both on the level of agricultural activity and the policy instruments used to ration water use. Command and control regulation is expensive relative to market based mechanisms, though overall costs are small. Long run losses in aggregate GDP range up to approximately 0.1%, or $10 million across simulations which achieve reduced water withdrawals comparable to levels observed in 1985. The second essay explores the efficacy of the Clean Air Act in regulating ambient air pollution throughout the United States. Ambient air pollution is tracked through a network of in situ monitors. A state's monitors determine compliance with federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Although the locations are typically treated as exogenous by researchers, we argue that there may be incentives for the local regulator to avoid siting monitors near pollution hotspots. We develop an analytical model to study the local regulator's incentives in this federalist arrangement and employ satellite-derived pollution estimates to characterize pollution at non-monitored locations to test for model predictions. We find that, on average, local regulators in counties beneath the federal pollution standard avoid pollution relative to counties above the threshold. This result is especially pronounced for monitors specifically designated to target areas of high pollution concentrations. The results suggest that monitoring data in attainment counties may systematically understate pollution, and the resulting regulatory targeting may be less efficient than previously believed. The final chapter illustrates an open source build routine called blueNOTE (National Open source Tools for general Equilibrium analysis) for producing sub-national economic accounts used in economic equilibrium models in the United States. In this chapter, we describe the build routine and a canonical calibrated static multi-regional, multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model which complements the constructed set of data. We focus on the development of state level economic data and show how to extend the core build stream to incorporate additional energy satellite data for formulating an energy based CGE model. The energy based CGE model is used to calculate carbon leakage rates given different regional configurations of state level action in restricting emission levels. In this calculation, we explore result sensitivity from including gravity based state level bilateral trade flows relative to a model calibrated with a pooled national market.
