چکیده
Abstract We design a parsimonious spatial equilibrium model featuring workers embodied with heterogeneous skills and non-homothetic preferences. In equilibrium, locations improved commuting access become relatively more attractive to high-income earners. empirically analyse the effects of construction Swiss highway network between 1960 2010 on population size composition municipalities. find that advent new led long-term 24% increase in share top-income taxpayers 8% decrease low-income taxpayers, impacting segregation by income. Highways also contributed job residential urban sprawl.

Highways, Market Access, and Urban Growth in China∗
We investigate the effects of the construction of the national highway system in China on local economic outcomes. The analysis employs three main approaches. The first is based on a structural model of Ricardian trade that provides an explicit description of the general equilibrium effects of changes in the highway network. The second involves reduced form estimates of the casual effects highw...
متن کاملSorting Spatial Data
Sorting the underlying spatial data enables the efficient execution of operations on it in geographic information systems (GIS). The chapter differentiates the discussion on the basis of the type of the spatial data which in this case falls into raster and vector. The raster data is sorted via the use of a number of different space-filling curves which are mappings from two dimensions to one di...
متن کاملSwarm-Based Spatial Sorting
Purpose – To present an algorithm for spatially sorting objects into an annular structure. Design/Methodology/Approach – A swarm-based model that requires only stochastic agent behaviour coupled with a pheromone-inspired “attraction-repulsion” mechanism. Findings – The algorithm consistently generates high-quality annular structures, and is particularly powerful in situations where the initial ...
متن کاملAccess pricing and market structure
In telecommunications industries access charge problems are important issues during deregulation. In Japan and the US, deregulation also involves the issue of industrial structures as integration or divestiture of a long-distance sector. This paper analyzes access charge problems by introducing effects of the divestiture on cost functions. We show how the effects influence economic welfare unde...
متن کاملBond Market Access and Investment
Prior research has shown that differential access to debt markets significantly affects capital structure. In this paper, we examine the effect of access to debt markets on investment decisions by using debt ratings to indicate bond market access. We find that rated firms are more likely to undertake acquisitions than nonrated firms. This finding remains even after accounting for firm character...
