Growth at the fringe: The influence of political fragmentation in United States metropolitan areas (2003, methodology): “it takes time for growth to appear at the urban fringe, it takes additional time for new municipalities to appear, because development and incorporation do not generally occur simultaneously ( Carruthers and Ulfarsson 2002a ).”
Urban Sprawl and the Cost of Public Services (2003, background): “In particular, a number of studies have shown evidence that fragmentation contributes to urban sprawl in a physical sense by lowering densities and/or promoting growth at the urban fringe (Carruthers, 2002b; 2003; Carruthers and Ulfarsson, 2002; Lewis, 1996; Pendall, 1999; Shen, 1996).”
Lobbying, political competition, and local land supply: recent evidence from Spain (2012, background): “interregional analyses (Carruthers, 2003; Carruthers and Ulfarsson, 2002; Hilber and RobertNicoud, 2009; Saiz, 2010) and, as a result, encounter difficulties when matching land use measures to the political jurisdictions empowered with their introduction.”
Does Urban Sprawl Increase the Costs of Providing Local Public Services? Evidence from Spanish Municipalities (2010, unknown): “…most common quantifiers is population density itself (Ladd and Yinger, 1989; Ladd, 1992) and this can be combined with alternative measures of sprawl (see Carruthers and Ulfarsson, 2002, 2003, 2008; Glaeser and Kahn, 2004), to provide a more realistic profile of the nature of the urban development.”
