ABSTRACT.Total cleared area in a von Thünen land‐use model drives an atmosphere externality which depresses agricultural productivity uniformly throughout the region. Exogenous events that encourage clearance and use of a larger cultivated area (output price or population increase) exacerbate the externality. Imposition of a simple, corrective tax on land rents does not reverse these patterns but does mitigate the increase in the externality and leaves cultivators with higher incomes than they would obtain without the tax. We examine an optimal tax on land rents, designed to maximize the social value of land rents in the region, and an output t

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Average monthly price data from twelve hinterland markets and the Houston port price for wheat are studied in a cointegration framework using the Engle‐Granger “two‐step” procedure and Johansen's maximum likelihood procedure. Out‐of‐sample forecasts from an error correction model are compared to those from a vector autoregression fit to levels and a univariate autoregression fit to first differences. This comparison suggests that modeling these (cointegrated) data as a levels vector autoregression, rather than as an error‐correction process, results in significantly higher error bias, but lower error variance, at

摘要:

ABSTRACT.The paper applies an inventory model to the standard Weber‐Moses location‐production problem. By setting the problem within a time framework, costs are seen to be incurred by both the holding of goods and the shipment of goods. The optimum location of the firm is seen to depend not only on transportation costs and the nature of the firm's production function, but also on the value of the materials being shipped. Under these conditions there is no homogeneous solution to the Weber‐Moses problem. Furthermore, it is shown that the value added at the point of production is the primary factor which governs the optimum location of the

摘要:

ABSTRACT.This paper examines how housing subsidies affect housing and location demands in a monocentric market, identifying the extent to which policies prompt targeted populations to congregate more or less intensely in the central city. Various subsidies are studied: rents based on ability to pay, lump‐sum housing aid, housing vouchers, and subsidies based on percentage of rent. The demand effects are seen to hinge critically upon whether or not subsidies are tied to binding consumption restrictions. Policy impacts are shown to be identical for both CBD employed and locally employed consumers targeted for the housing policie

摘要:

ABSTRACT.This paper departs from earlier work on location theory under uncertainty by considering an oligopoly case where the symmetric Cournot‐Nash equilibrium of imperfectly competitive and identical firms are examined. It will be shown that once a Cournot competitive equilibrium is introduced, the demand function plays a central role in the choice of location, and the effects of changes in fixed costs, mean product price and price variability on the firm's optimum location and output are independent of absolute and/or relative risk aversion. These striking results are in sharp contrast with the well‐known results obtained in previous contributions to the location literat

摘要:

ABSTRACT.The paper is devoted to modeling the relationship between the density of service centers and the density of population (or on the density of demand). Several models lead to an exponential function with the exponent equal to ⅔. For a number of real systems of centers, the power is considerably different from ⅔ (more often it is nearer to 1). I describe a series of models that explain this differe
