Evidence for the homothetic scaling of urban forms (2018, background): “In the US, McGrath (2005) related the urbanisation area (via the urban fringe) to essential parameters of the standard monocentric model (income, transport costs and the opportunity cost of land) as well as to total population for 30 cities, but disregarded the density profile.”
Property tax and urban sprawl theory and implications for US cities (2006, unknown): “A recent study by McGrath [11] confirms the validity of this set of variables.”
A spatial econometric analysis of land use efficiency in large and small municipalities (2017, unknown): “McGrath (2005), Paulsen (2012), Spivey (2008), and Wassmer (2006) extend this stream of empirical research on different samples of US cities.”
Embracing Complexity and Uncertainty: The Potential of Agent-Based Modeling for Environmental Planning and Policy (2008, unknown): “, 2002 ; Katz & Bradley, 1999 ; Knack, 2000 ; McGrath, 2005 ; Otter et al.”
Growth, population and industrialization, and urban land expansion of China (2008, methodology): “Two of the most well-known previous studies that have tested the hypotheses of the monocentric model using data from metropolitan regions in the United States are by Brueckner and Fansler [2] and McGrath [18].”
Economic Growth and the Expansion of Urban Land in China (2010, methodology): “Following an empirical study by McGrath (2005), we include the variable of GDP to measure the effect of the overall level of economic development of the county unit (on the right-hand side of the model) on urban land use.”
Career Incentives of City Leaders and Urban Spatial Expansion in China (2020, background): “McGrath, 2005; Burchfield et al., 2006), we introduce a new dimension: the critical role of city leaders’ careeradvancement incentives in shaping the spatial pattern of China’s urbanization.”
Compactness versus Sprawl (2015, background): “If motorists had to cover the full social costs of automobile use—including vehicle emissions, free parking, uncompensated accident costs, and other external costs—they would likely opt for residential, work, shopping, and other locations that require a fraction of their current travel (Delucchi 199”
