This paper uses a novel dataset and the general equilibrium model in Desmet and Rossi-Hansberg (2013) to analyze the Spanish city size distribution, which is driven by three city-specific characteristics: productivity, amenities, and frictions. Counterfactual simulations show that removing cross-city variation in these characteristics leads to welfare gains and population shifts in Spain larger than those in the U.S. but smaller than in China. Moreover, policies targeting these city characteristics consistently outperform those based on population size. For example, capping the populations of the two largest cities, Madrid and Barcelona, reduces overall welfare.
本文使用Desmet和Rossi-Hansberg(2013)的新数据集和一般均衡模型来分析西班牙城市规模分布,这是由三个城市特定特征驱动的:生产力、便利设施和摩擦。反事实模拟表明,去除这些特征的跨城市差异,西班牙的福利增长和人口转移比美国大,但比中国小。此外,针对这些城市特征的政策一贯优于基于人口规模的政策。例如,限制两个最大城市马德里和巴塞罗那的人口,会降低整体福利。

The value of historic district status 历史街区地位的价值
IF 2.9 2区 经济学 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-11-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2025.104157

Comparing properties in districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in locally designated historic districts with those in properties proposed, eligible but not designated districts, this paper estimates the differential effect on housing values of National Register and local historic district status while explicitly considering the effects of overlapping designations. Results indicate significant 9–12 % increases in property values after the district is listed on the National Register and substantial declines in prices from local district designation after accounting for their overlap with National Register districts. Sales volume increases after both types of designation. National Register listing is associated with more new construction and subdivision as well as an increase in construction financing for existing properties. Local designation is associated with more permitted renovations and less new construction and subdivision.
本文将列入国家史迹名录和地方指定历史街区的房产与提议、符合条件但未被指定的房产进行比较,在明确考虑重叠指定影响的情况下,估计国家史迹名录和地方历史街区地位对房屋价值的差异影响。结果表明,在该地区被列入国家登记册后,房地产价值显著增长了9 - 12%,而在考虑到与国家登记册地区的重叠后,当地地区的价格大幅下降。在这两种类型的指定后,销售量都增加了。国家注册登记与更多的新建筑和细分以及现有房产的建设融资增加有关。地方指定与允许更多的翻新和更少的新建筑和细分有关。

Information disclosure, search cost, and the housing market 信息披露、搜索成本与住房市场
IF 2.9 2区 经济学 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-11-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2025.104161

This study examines the impact of information disclosure on housing market outcomes. Leveraging an administrative housing resale transactions dataset in Beijing, we employ a boundary discontinuity design and difference-in-differences model to explore the consequences of prohibiting school-district labels in the online listing information. Our results show that the prohibition leads to a 2.44 % reduction in transaction prices and a 19.82 % increase in the seller's time on the market for the houses corresponding to the key primary schools compared with the other houses. The extended time on the market is primarily attributed to the heightened search cost that potential buyers face in finding their ideal dwellings. Moreover, the changes in buyers' search behavior and sellers' time on the market prompt the sellers to lower the listing prices to attract potential buyers and lead to lower transaction prices. Overall, the empirical evidence highlights the importance of information disclosure during the housing search process.
本研究考察了信息披露对房地产市场结果的影响。利用北京的行政住房转售交易数据集,我们采用边界不连续设计和差中差模型来探索在在线上市信息中禁止学区标签的后果。我们的研究结果表明,与其他房屋相比,禁令导致重点小学对应房屋的交易价格下降了2.44%,卖方在市场上的时间增加了19.82%。市场上停留时间的延长主要归因于潜在买家在寻找理想住宅时面临的搜索成本上升。此外,买家搜索行为和卖家在市场上停留时间的变化促使卖家降低挂牌价格以吸引潜在买家,从而导致交易价格降低。总体而言,经验证据突出了信息披露在住房搜索过程中的重要性。

Birth dearth and local population decline 出生不足和当地人口减少
IF 2.9 2区 经济学 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-11-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2025.104159

Local population decline has spread rapidly in the United States since 1970, with half of counties losing population between 2010 and 2020. The workhorse economic models point to net out-migration, likely driven by changing local economies and amenities, as the cause of this trend. However, we show that the share of counties with high net out-migration has not increased. Instead, falling fertility has caused migration rates that used to generate growth to instead result in decline. We use an accounting model to simulate county population from 1970 to the present and find that only 10 percent of counties would have declined during the 2010s if fertility had remained at its initial levels.
自1970年以来,美国当地人口下降迅速蔓延,2010年至2020年期间,有一半的县人口减少。主力经济模型指出,净外迁可能是造成这一趋势的原因,原因是当地经济和便利设施的变化。然而,我们表明,净外迁率高的县的比例并没有增加。相反,生育率的下降导致了曾经促进经济增长的移民率下降。我们使用一个会计模型来模拟从1970年到现在的县人口,发现如果生育率保持在最初的水平,只有10%的县在2010年代会下降。

Socially optimal land use in a city with central amenities 具有中心设施的城市的社会最佳土地利用

We provide a full characterisation of the socially optimal allocation of urban land to households and firms in a long narrow city with centrally located amenities. Households support linear costs of commuting to their workplace, and of visiting the centre. Firms operate under monopolistic competition, having a marginal production cost that increases exponentially with distance to the centre. We compare the socially optimal urban land use with that which emerges from market forces, and propose policy interventions to achieve city-wide welfare gains. Travel subsidies to households in proportion to firms’ price-cost margin are sufficient for the socially optimal allocation of urban land to emerge as the market equilibrium.
我们提供了一个全面的特征,在一个狭长的城市中,为家庭和公司提供城市土地的社会最佳配置,并拥有中心位置的便利设施。家庭支持通勤到工作地点和访问中心的线性成本。企业在垄断竞争下运作,其边际生产成本随着与中心距离的增加呈指数增长。我们比较了社会最优城市土地利用与市场力量产生的土地利用,并提出了政策干预措施,以实现城市范围内的福利收益。与企业价格成本差额成比例的家庭旅行补贴足以使城市土地的社会最优配置作为市场均衡出现。

Residential rent externalities of photovoltaic systems: The relevance of view 光伏系统的住宅租金外部性:观点的相关性

In a three-dimensional topographic model of Switzerland, we study how the view at photovoltaic (PV) systems affects residential real estate. Our hedonic difference-in-differences regressions provide evidence that the view at a PV system is associated with lower residential rents. We consider different view types to examine amplifiers and attenuators of these negative externalities. Using municipal voting results and data on electric vehicles, we document causal pathways of the effect that align with stated and lived preferences for sustainability. Similar causal pathways of negative externalities are evident through municipalities’ solar energy production potential and their local demand elasticities for housing.
在瑞士的三维地形模型中,我们研究了光伏(PV)系统对住宅房地产的影响。我们的享乐差异回归提供了证据,表明光伏系统的景观与较低的住宅租金有关。我们考虑不同的视图类型来检查这些负面外部性的放大和衰减。利用市政投票结果和电动汽车数据,我们记录了与声明和生活偏好一致的可持续性影响的因果路径。通过市政当局的太阳能生产潜力及其当地住房需求弹性,可以明显看出类似的负外部性因果路径。

Restoring inland prosperity: The impact of the New International Land-Sea Corridor on corporate internationalization and regional wealth gaps 恢复内陆繁荣:新国际陆海走廊对企业国际化和区域贫富差距的影响
IF 3.5 2区 经济学 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2025.104135

Enabling inland regions in developing countries to participate in the global market and overcome poverty remains a significant challenge. In this study, we use the International Land-Sea Trade Corridor (ILSTC) strategy as a quasi-natural experiment exploring the impact of inland infrastructure development on the internationalization of manufacturing enterprises located over 1000 km from the ocean. Our findings indicate that the construction of ILSTC significantly increases the likelihood, by 5.6 %, of these inland enterprises engaging in international markets. Further analysis reveals that the reduction in geographical distance primarily enhances the likelihood of enterprise internationalization by boosting export and import activities, outward investment, and participation of foreign suppliers. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis shows the positive impact of the ILSTC to be more pronounced in smaller-scale companies facing stronger financial constraints. The macroeconomic impact test shows that the strategy has led to a 1.7 % increase in residents' income, a 3.5 % increase in per capita GDP, and a 7.6 % rise in per capita light intensity, contributing to narrowing the wealth gap between inland and coastal regions.
使发展中国家的内陆地区能够参与全球市场和克服贫困仍然是一项重大挑战。本研究以国际陆海贸易走廊(ILSTC)战略为准自然实验,探讨内陆基础设施发展对距离海洋1000公里以上的制造业企业国际化的影响。我们的研究结果表明,ILSTC的建设显著提高了这些内陆企业参与国际市场的可能性,提高了5.6%。进一步分析表明,地理距离的减小主要通过促进进出口活动、对外投资和外国供应商的参与来提高企业国际化的可能性。此外,异质性分析表明,在面临更强财务约束的小型公司中,ILSTC的积极影响更为明显。宏观经济影响测试表明,该战略导致居民收入增长1.7%,人均GDP增长3.5%,人均光照强度提高7.6%,有助于缩小内陆和沿海地区的贫富差距。

Urban pull: The roles of amenities and employment 城市拉动:便利设施和就业的作用

This paper leverages new measurement of neighborhood consumption amenities to demonstrate that housing prices and rents in U.S. cities are likely determined nearly as much by access to amenities as by access to employment. We extend the Alonso–Muth–Mills model, allowing residents to derive utility from within-city trips to amenities. The model delivers standard estimable log-linear pricing equations as well as new measures of local amenities—based on a destination’s popularity during leisure hours—and of access to consumption amenities city wide. We find our amenity measures add substantial explanatory power, have large effects in magnitude, and reduce naive estimates of commute costs by 30%. Elasticities of rents with respect to employment access are 20%–50% larger than those with respect to amenity access. The findings hold using a variety of alternative measures and are neither driven by density nor fully explained by the locations of business establishments. These results suggest the potential resilience of cities to changes in employment locations.
本文利用社区消费便利设施的新测量方法来证明,美国城市的房价和租金可能几乎是由便利设施和就业机会决定的。我们扩展了阿隆索-穆特-米尔斯模式,允许居民从城市内的旅行中获得便利。该模型提供了标准的可估计的对数线性定价方程,以及基于目的地在休闲时间的受欢迎程度和在全市范围内获得消费便利设施的新措施。我们发现,我们的便利措施增加了大量的解释力,在量级上产生了巨大的影响,并将通勤成本的天真估计减少了30%。与就业机会相关的租金弹性比与便利设施相关的租金弹性大20%-50%。使用各种替代措施得出的结论是成立的,既不受密度的影响,也不完全由商业机构的位置来解释。这些结果表明,城市对就业地点的变化具有潜在的弹性。

Spillover effects of accessory dwelling unit development 附属住宅发展的溢出效应

Promoting accessory dwelling units (ADUs), small residential backyard units, is one way that state and local governments have attempted to boost housing supply amid rising housing costs. However, homeowners worry about the impact on property values due to increased population and density. This paper studies the effect of ADU development on neighboring property values using an instrumental variable approach. I find that a 0.5 percentage point increase (the mean ADU concentration over the sample period of 2013–2021) in ADU density leads to a 3% decrease in nearby property prices. The negative spillover effects remain consistent within a 300-meter radius, after which they become statistically insignificant. The results are robust across alternative specifications and samples and the adverse effects of ADUs are more pronounced for properties with smaller lot sizes and those in low- and middle-rent neighborhoods. I provide evidence that ADU growth contributes to neighborhood externalities, including increased parking citations, domestic violence reports, illegal dumping, and neighborhood service requests, while showing no significant effects on overall or property crime.
在住房成本不断上升的情况下,推动小型住宅后院单元(adu)是州和地方政府试图增加住房供应的一种方式。然而,房主担心由于人口和密度的增加对房地产价值的影响。本文采用工具变量法研究了ADU开发对周边物业价值的影响。我发现,ADU密度每增加0.5个百分点(2013-2021年样本期间的平均ADU浓度),就会导致附近房价下降3%。负外溢效应在300米半径范围内保持一致,超过300米就变得不显著。结果在不同的规格和样本中都是稳健的,adu的不利影响对于较小的地块规模和中低租金社区的房产更为明显。我提供的证据表明,ADU的增长有助于社区外部性,包括增加停车罚单、家庭暴力报告、非法倾倒和社区服务请求,而对总体或财产犯罪没有显着影响。

I provide evidence that ADU growth contributes to neighborhood externalities, including increased parking citations, domestic violence reports, illegal dumping, and neighborhood service requests, while showing no significant effects on overall or property crime.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48196,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science and Urban Economics","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104136"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144810060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We quantify the air quality impact of China's first major HSR line connecting Beijing and Shanghai, operational since June 30, 2011. Using high-resolution satellite data, we find a 6.2 % reduction in particulate matter concentrations in counties served by the HSR during the six months following its opening, with effects strengthening over time and persisting for at least two years. These improvements are larger in counties with HSR stations, high interregional travel demand, or limited alternative transportation options. We estimate that the HSR opening yields external health benefits of approximately CNY 21 billion annually, accounting for a substantial portion of its construction costs.
我们量化了自2011年6月30日开始运营的连接北京和上海的中国第一条主要高铁线路对空气质量的影响。利用高分辨率卫星数据,我们发现在高铁开通后的六个月里,高铁服务的县的颗粒物浓度降低了6.2%,而且随着时间的推移,效果会越来越强,至少会持续两年。在有高铁站点、区域间旅行需求高或替代交通选择有限的县,这些改善更大。我们估计,高铁开通每年产生的外部健康效益约为210亿元人民币,占其建设成本的很大一部分。
