A discrete–continuous model of households’ vehicle choice and usage, with an application to the effects of residential density (2008, methodology): “This IV was used by Brueckner and Largey (2006) in their study. However, the data set I use has only six MSAs, a number too small to provide enough variability in the density to capture its influence. School quality might be another feasible instrument, since schools with good quality are usually lo”
Does Urban Sprawl Increase the Costs of Providing Local Public Services? Evidence from Spanish Municipalities (2010, unknown): “The claim is also made that urban sprawl reduces social interaction and contributes to socioeconomic segregation between the rich of the suburbs and the poor of the inner cities (Downs, 1999; Brueckner, 2000, 2001a; Glaeser and Kahn, 2004).”
Transport Subsidies, System Choice, and Urban Sprawl (2005, background): “4 See the APTA website at bhttp://www.apta.com/research/stats/overview/natsum.cfmN.”
Sprawl and Blight (2009, unknown): “Several market failures have indeed been identified, including unpriced traffic congestion, failure to account for openspace amenities in development decisions, and failure to levy marginal-cost-based infrastructure charges (see Brueckner (2000, 2001)).”
Urban Sprawl and the Property Tax (2003, background): “1. For an elaboration of these points, as well references to the literature, see Brueckner (2000, 2001b) .”
Social Interaction and Urban Sprawl (2008, unknown): “In appraising the attack on sprawl, Brueckner (2000, 2001) argues that criticism of urban spatial expansion is only justified in the presence of market failures or other distortions, which bias the normal expansionary effects of population and income growth in an upward direction.”
More evidence on the spatial scale of cities (2005, unknown): “Brueckner [3,4] identifies three of these:”
Cities in Developing Countries: Fueled by Rural–Urban Migration, Lacking in Tenure Security, and Short of Affordable Housing (2015, background): “Urban growth boundaries It is well known that urban growth boundaries (UGBs) can raise housing prices by restricting the amount of land available for development (see Brueckner, 2001, and Cheshire and Sheppard, 2002).”
Urban Growth Boundaries: An Effective Second-Best Remedy for Unpriced Traffic Congestion? (2007, background): “The resulting small literature has identified several proximate causes for the rapid spatial expansion of cities, such as investment in an automobile-oriented transportation system (see Glaeser and Kahn (2004) and Nechyba and Walsh (2004)).”
