Strategic growth controls

Article Abstract:

A game-theoretic model of urban growth controls was developed in which there is free migration between communities but the metropolitan area population is fixed. The model shows that developers have an incentive to exclude potential residents as it lowers the level of utility in other communities while making consumers more willing to pay more to be able to live in exclusive communities. Equilibrium depends on whether population or price is chosen as the strategic variable, and on whether choices are made sequentially or simultaneously.

Independent and joint provision of optional public services

Article Abstract:

A simplified urban land use model was used to determine the relationship between city size and the provision of optional public services such as museums and stadiums, and to examine the factors why some cities decide to jointly provide optional services. The results show that optional public services are provided if their cost is small relative to the cost of essential public services. Moreover, cities that jointly provide optional services vary in size depending on certain variables.

Comparative static analysis of open urban models with a full labor market and suburban employment

Article Abstract:

Mathematical models of urban spatial structure disregard suburban employment and are based on an exogenous wage rate. The labor market is restricted to a central business district (CBD). An attempt is made to present a first complete comparative static analysis of open urban models. The demand for labor in such models is extracted from the production of an export good. The study is applied to an urban area in the CBD and to models in a suburban business district.
