摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper, research and development, knowledge and creativity are analysed within the context of economic development theory. It is demonstrated that size and spatial structure play an important part in the creative process. Furthermore, it is argued that only a very limited set of policy conclusions can be drawn from non‐spatial theories of R&D. A vital concept is the “creative region,” of which very few examples are encountered in each historical period. Historically, Vienna stands out as an interesting example. Today, regions such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Shinkansen, and Milano would be of potential interest for closer scrutiny as possible creative re

摘要:

ABSTRACTContinuous models of two‐dimensional space economies can be classified under the following headings; (1) models of spatially extended markets, (2) spatial interaction models, (3) models of spatial population dynamics, and 4) models of spatial business cycles and economic growth. Interaction and migration models involve the disciplines of geography and demography, whereas models of markets, cycles and growth are largely within the domain of economies. The specific concepts associated with continuous spatial modelling and its various applications are surveyed briefly herein. The main aim is to present a few unexpected results from such models. These relate to the usefulness of the spatial theories proposed by Weber, von Thünen, Christaller and Lö

摘要:

ABSTRACTTheChicago Area Transportation/Land‐Use Analysis System(CATLAS) is a large scale urban simulation model which synthesizes “location rent analysis” from urban economics with “travel demand analysis” from transportation planning. This paper describes the theoretical formulation, empirical estimation and policy application of CATLAS to the evaluation of CBD‐oriented rapid transit projects

摘要:

ABSTRACTBased on some empirical facts about the Swiss system of cities, this paper offers a model for agglomerations consisting of several fiscally independent communities. Every community provides its residents with local public goods produced at U‐shaped average cost curves. In addition, central cities supply their surrounding agglomerations with pure public goods and services. Due to fiscal inequivalence, suburban communities obtain a free ride from the central city. Within such a model, increased spending by central cities is shown to be the only cause for the observed flattening of density gradient

摘要:

ABSTRACTNew theoretical work in urban economics suggests that urban population density contours are inherently discontinuous. This result calls into question the standard practice of estimating smooth density contours and indicates a need for an estimation technique capable of capturing discontinuities. This paper employs such a technique by applying Quandt's switching regression method to the estimation problem. Density contours with marked discontinuities emerge from the empirical work.

摘要:

ABSTRACTWe apply the implicit price approach to land to clarify how the various kinds of public expenditure affect land prices. By presupposing that the changing state of typical land characteristics — accessibility and environmental quality — can be expressed in differential equation form, we apply the Maximum Principle to clarify how each of the characteristics of land reacts to public investment in transportation and environmental conservation. We thereby estimate the dynamic behavior of the implicit price of land. The literature suggests that financial resources for further public expenditure (on such aspects as transportation and environmental conservation) should be partly realizable from the increased land price accruing as a result of expenditures in the p

摘要:

ABSTRACTLet there be several identical deposits of an exhaustible, non‐renewable resource, the working of each deposit entailing a set‐up cost but no other costs. It is found that the optimal path of extraction dictates that the deposits must be removed in strict sequence with discontinuities of marginal benefit at transition points. Moreover, the average rate of increase of marginal benefit is less than the rate of interest. These results embellish Hotelling's rule relating to optimal methods of resource extract

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper analyses the wage ‘roll out’ effect of a period of rapid resource based development in the Latrobe Valley region in Australia. Wage level adjustments are seen to correlate closely to categories of skilled labour shortage on major construction sites. More significantly, these wage adjustments are seen to spill over into all blue collar occupational categories in the region, including industries off the construction sites. The wage ‘roll out’ effect is related to the structure of the regional economy through the application of a survey‐based input‐output table and through the analysis of labour market recruitment and migrati
