Transportation is generally perceived as a catalyst for economic development. This has been highlighted in previous studies. However, less attention has been paid to examine the relationship between economy and transport demand by exploring spatially cross-sectional data, especially for countries with significant regional economic imbalance, like China. In this article, we assess the economic i...

This paper generalizes the simple two-city work-from-home model of Brueckner et al. (2022) by adding a group non-remote workers, who must live in city where they work. The results show that main qualitative conclusions BKL regarding intercity effects WFH are unaffected this modification, with yielding same aggregate population and employment changes two cities house-price wage as simpler model....

This study aims at identifying the differences of crash characteristics at basic segments between urban and intercity expressways. Crash rate (CR) model is firstly developed as a function of traffic density. The causes leading to different CR characteristics by expressway type are then examined considering the interaction of geometry, traffic flow and ambient conditions. Affecting mechanisms of...

the urban squatter settlements is an urban phenomenon which is formed and developed by uncontrolled and irregular urbanization growth in the world and in iran as well and also by migration from the villages towards the cities. urban squatter settlements, as an unbalancing factor in the urban physical equilibrium, is a sign of irregular growth in the cities and the regions and many of the urbani...

Spatial equilibrium models rely on migration to arbitrage away differences in utility across locations net of moving costs, where remaining differences in wages and rents reflect the compensating differentials related to site-specific amenities. Recent refinements to the spatial equilibrium model focus upon the prospect of disequilibrium in amenity markets. Amenity market disequilibrium implies...

Ethnoracial residential segregation is a complex, multiscalar phenomenon with immense moral and economic costs. Modeling the structure and dynamics of segregation is a pressing problem for sociology and urban planning, but existing methods have limitations. In this paper, we develop a suite of methods, grounded in information theory, for studying the spatial structure of segregation. We first a...
