ABSTRACTThis paper shows that a time‐series version of export‐based location quotients, which decompose area employment into export and local components are co‐integrated. Given the statistically established co‐integrating relation between the time series for export and local employment, the Granger Representation Theorem tells us that an error‐correction mechanism model is the appropriate time‐series model specification. A set of forecasting experiments is carried out, in order to test whether the error‐correction model produces better long‐run forecasts that hold together in economically meaningful ways. Given the computer hardware and software that currently exist, the model developed here represents a simple, low‐cost method for accurately forecasting local‐area employment in the tradition of past work on

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper, I consider a general equilibrium urban spatial structure in the setting of a port city by adopting Cobb‐Douglas type functional forms for production and utility functions. Unlike previous port‐city models, this one can generate four land‐use patterns, that is, (1) monocentric, (2) completely integrated, (3) partially integrated (with integration at the center), and (4) partially integrated (with integration at the urban fringe) land‐use patterns, and the last pattern suggests a new explanation of suburbanization of employment. The existence and uniqueness of each land‐use pattern is proven in a simple constru

摘要:

ABSTRACTBy ignoring individual unemployment compensation benefits and conditions of job termination, past migration research has concluded that personal unemployment doubles the likelihood of interstate labor‐force migration. Findings from the present study indicate that aggregating the unemployed, without adjusting for these two factors, overstates the probability of migration for the involuntarily unemployed benefit recipient and understates the likelihood of migration for the voluntarily unemployed benefit recipient. The results suggest that federal discretionary unemployment‐compensation programs, which are implemented during recessionary periods, likely serve to retard out‐migration of those who are involuntarily unemp

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper, I investigate some of the causes of city formation in spatial economies. A model is proposed in which an intermediate differentiated input shared by more than one industry is the cause of the formation of diversified cities. The desire of both the traded‐good and the local‐good industries to employ a variety of inputs from the intermediate industry provides the reason for the agglomeration of the three industries. In addition, the paper contains a comparative‐statics analysis of the model in an open and a closed‐city framework. It is demonstrated that the larger the city, the more variety of intermediate inputs the city can provide and the more specialized it is in the production of the traded‐good. Moreover, the model suggests that different industrial structures will result in different c

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper, I model a simple hierarchical inter‐urban system in which the location of business firms is considered together with the determination of residential land‐use patterns. By supposing a spatial externality between the business firms and all the residents of the region, three spatial structures are obtained: monocentricity, multicentricity, and a separate pattern where cities are spatially split with an agricultural land existing between them. It is also shown that the spatial structures of monocentric and multicentric patterns formed by the market principle tend to be more concentrated than the opti

摘要:

ABSTRACTWith the view that travel behavior stems from the principle of utility maximization, in this paper I present a spatial translog demand model that accounts for interdependence among travel alternatives and that handles varying elasticities of substitution for various destination pairs. Using simulation as the mode of inquiry, this model describes the effect of spatial size, spatial configuration, and spatial substitution on spatial interaction. In addition to indicating how varying spatial sizes and configurations affect the average trip length and the trip making pattern, the simulation results also point out the possible effect of having spatially dependent locations in the system. Competing destinations increase the attractiveness of nearby locations, and complementary destinations reduce the impeding effect of space. The model is primarily relevant to the demand for shopping trips.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis note analyzes whether central cities and suburbs of a metropolitan area relate to each other in a meaningful way. Specifically, it analyzes whether there is a factor specific to the metropolitan area in central‐city and suburban growth once national and regional factors have been taken into account. Data are analyzed for growth of metropolitan areas from 1960 to 198

摘要:

ABSTRACTSeveral researchers have proven that for the integrated production‐location problem on the Weberian triangle, intermediate points on the edge of the triangle can never be optimal locations. Authors of previous proofs of this result have used cumbersome trigonometric arguments. We present a much simpler algebraic proof of the result, and present it in terms of the more generaln‐input model, where the feasible location space is a convex polygon rather than a triangle. In addition, the result generalizes immediately to other cases, such as (1) multifacility production‐location problems, (2) stochastic versions of one‐facility and multifacility production‐location problems, and (3) comparable pure location problems (e.g., the Weber

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the theoretical implications of quantity‐discounted transportation rates on the optimum location decision of the firm. It shows that the linearly homogeneous or homothetic production function is not a sufficient condition for the independence between the optimum location and the output level, unless (i) the elasticities of transportation rates with respect to quantity shipped are constant and identical, and (ii) the ratios of marginal products 60 the marginal transportation costs are equal for each inpu
