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。

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。

This study examines the effects of enhancing administrative tax enforcement on the tax gap, focusing on inter-municipal cooperation (IMC). IMC involves collaborative tax collection efforts among multiple municipalities and promotes the aggregation of tax collection resources and expertise, improving tax enforcement. Using the time variation in IMC creation across municipalities, we show that IMC substantially reduces the tax gap by reinforcing tax enforcement in local governments. Our findings suggest that enhanced administrative capability in tax enforcement can be an effective tool against noncompliance in ways other than facilitating voluntary compliance.
本研究探讨了加强行政税收执法对税收差距的影响,重点是城市间合作(IMC)。整合税收管理涉及多个城市之间的协同税收工作,并促进税收资源和专业知识的聚集,从而改善税收执法。利用城市间税收整合整合产生的时间变化,我们发现,通过加强地方政府的税收执法,税收整合整合大大缩小了税收差距。我们的研究结果表明,加强税务执法的行政能力可以成为除促进自愿合规以外的对抗违规行为的有效工具。

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。

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。

This paper estimates the impact of a new transit system on worker outcomes, accounting for endogenous worker decisions. I examine the phased opening of New York City’s commuter ferry system. I find evidence of a small but significant shift in commuting flows, towards routes with ferry service, driven by middle-to-high-income workers. I then propose and estimate a novel structural neighborhood choice model that recovers workers’ valuation of ferry service and the aggregate effects of the system on employment. Higher-income workers display a stronger preference for the ferry. Ferry routes also match the location preferences of higher-income workers, allowing these workers to capture almost all direct benefits from the new system. Differing home and work location preferences across income groups largely determine who benefits from a new transit system.
本文估计了一个新的交通系统对工人产出的影响,考虑了内生的工人决策。我研究了纽约市通勤轮渡系统的分阶段开放。我发现有证据表明,由中高收入工人驱动的通勤流正在向有轮渡服务的路线转变,这种转变幅度虽小,但意义重大。然后,我提出并估计了一个新的结构性邻里选择模型,该模型恢复了工人对轮渡服务的评价和系统对就业的总体影响。收入较高的工人更喜欢乘坐渡轮。渡轮路线也符合高收入工人的地点偏好,使这些工人几乎可以从新系统中获得所有直接利益。不同收入群体对家庭和工作地点的不同偏好,在很大程度上决定了谁能从新的交通系统中受益。

Productivity and wage effects of an exogenous improvement in transport infrastructure: Accessibility and the Great Belt Bridge 交通基础设施外生改善对生产率和工资的影响:可达性和大带桥

In this paper, we study the productivity and wage effects of a large and very localized discrete shock in the quality of transport infrastructure, viz. the opening of the Great Belt Bridge connecting the Copenhagen area with the neighboring island Funen and the mainland of Denmark. We focus on two effects: (i) an accessibility externality, captured via changes in an accessibility indicator at the municipal level; (ii) better matching of workers to jobs, enabled by to the shorter travel times after the opening of the bridge. We can disentangle the accessibility and matching effects, because better matching is only realized via new commutes crossing the Great Belt after the opening of the bridge. Our results show that the increased accessibility had significant positive effects on productivity as well as wages, the latter being much more localized. The productivity effects of improved labour market matching are larger than the accessibility effects, but they are restricted to a small share of the firms. We find a modest wage effect of better matching, suggesting that employees get a small wage increase on top of the commuting cost savings associated with the opening of the bridge. Overall, the estimates suggest that firms benefited more from the opening of the bridge than did workers. Moreover, the bridge benefited mainly highly educated and male workers, and it increased wage inequality.
在本文中,我们研究了交通基础设施质量的巨大且非常局部的离散冲击对生产率和工资的影响,即连接哥本哈根地区与邻近的福嫩岛和丹麦大陆的大带桥的开通。我们关注两个效应:(i)可达性外部性,通过城市一级可达性指标的变化来捕捉;(ii)在大桥通车后,更短的交通时间使工人与工作更匹配。我们可以将可达性和匹配效果分开,因为更好的匹配只有在大桥开通后通过新的通勤穿越大带才能实现。我们的研究结果表明,可达性的提高对生产率和工资都有显著的积极影响,后者更加本地化。改善劳动力市场匹配的生产率效应大于可及性效应,但它们仅限于一小部分公司。我们发现更好的匹配带来了适度的工资效应,这表明,除了与大桥开通相关的通勤成本节约之外,员工的工资还会有小幅增长。总的来说,这些估计表明,公司从大桥的开通中获得的利益比工人更多。此外,大桥的受益者主要是受过高等教育的男性工人,而且它加剧了工资不平等。

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。

Tax progressivity and mobility costs 税收累进性和流动性成本
IF 3.5 2区 经济学 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-07-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2025.104126

This paper examines how mobility costs influence the effectiveness and desirability of tax progressivity using a general equilibrium spatial model. A key feature of the model is that workers’ idiosyncratic productivity depends on location. The interaction of amenities, idiosyncratic shocks and moving costs implies that progressive taxation distorts location choices by reducing incentives for agents to relocate to their most productive areas. Using a quantitative framework, I find that the negative effect of tax progressivity on output is weakest when mobility costs are either relatively low or high. The optimal degree of tax progressivity balances the costs of spatial tax distortions against the benefits of enhanced insurance, leading to relatively high optimal progressivity at both extremes of mobility costs.
本文利用一般均衡空间模型考察了流动性成本如何影响累进税制的有效性和可取性。该模型的一个关键特征是,工人的特殊生产率取决于地理位置。便利设施、特殊冲击和搬迁成本的相互作用意味着,累进税通过减少代理人迁往生产力最高地区的动机,扭曲了地点选择。使用定量框架,我发现当流动性成本相对较低或较高时,税收累进性对产出的负面影响是最弱的。税收累进的最优程度平衡了空间税收扭曲的成本和增强保险的收益,导致在流动性成本的两个极端都有相对较高的最优累进程度。

This paper demonstrates that the prices of older commercial buildings increase relative to younger ones. We argue that this is a ‘vintage effect’ that is due to the increasing valuation of older buildings by their marginal occupant in an expanding market. We show that this effect is not due to local price trends, or listing or preservation zones. Furthermore, it is not confined to urban locations or buildings visible from main roads, and it is most pronounced for buildings constructed before 1960. Repeat sales analysis confirms the results of hedonic regressions. Further analysis of the office market, for which the vintage effect is strongest, confirms that survival probabilities and occupancy rates are highest for older buildings. These findings suggest that commercial buildings have a longer lifespan than is often thought, making the built environment less dynamic.
本文论证了老商业建筑的价格相对于新商业建筑的价格上涨。我们认为,这是一种“复古效应”,是由于在不断扩大的市场中,老建筑的边际居住者对老建筑的估值不断上升。我们表明,这种影响不是由于当地的价格趋势,或上市或保护区。此外,它并不局限于城市地点或从主干道上可见的建筑物,在1960年以前建造的建筑物中最为明显。重复销售分析证实了享乐回归的结果。对办公楼市场的进一步分析证实,老旧建筑的生存概率和入住率最高。这些发现表明,商业建筑的寿命比通常认为的要长,这使得建筑环境缺乏活力。
