Productive Cities: Sorting, Selection, and Agglomeration (2014, background): “However, recent work on US cities ðAlbouy 2008; BaumSnow and Pavan 2012Þ or French land markets ðCombes, Duranton, and Gobillon 2013Þ reports estimates of g between 0.04 and 0.12 that are close to ours.24 To corroborate our findings further, we also estimate the elasticity of urban costs with…”
The Growth of Cities (2013, unknown): “This result is more immediately consistent with explanations that rely on a rising demand for amenities than 22This is true of Blomquist, Berger, and Hoehn (1988), Albouy (2008), and many others.”
The Persistence of Local Joblessness (2018, background): “Albouy (2012) describes also how real wage measures are sensitive to the treatment of various taxes and benefits, nontradable goods expenditure and non-labor income.”
Understanding China's Urban Pollution Dynamics (2013, background): “This revealed preference methodology allows scholars to identify urban households’ demand for nonmarket goods, including urban environmental amenities and allows researchers to rank areas’ quality of life (Albouy 2008, Albouy and Lue 2011, Gyourko, Kahn, and Tracy 1999).”
Co-invention networks and inventive productivity in US cities (2016, unknown): “…per inhabitant, the number of property rimes per 10,000 inhabitants, and the share of urbanized land n an MSA’s total land (Carlino et al., 2007; Albouy 2008, 2009; laeser et al., 2001; Wu, 2010; Wang and Wu, 2011).21 Artificial menities such as leisure activities, safety, and the…”
Quantitative Spatial Economics (2017, unknown): “In the spirit of the seminal work of Rosen (1979) and Roback (1982), amenities are understood as any characteristic that makes a location a more or less desirable place of residence, as examined empirically for US metropolitan areas by Albouy (2016).”
The economic effects of density: A synthesis (2019, unknown): “The non-log-linearity in the effect of density on rent also explains why Combes et al (2018) find a larger elasticity for French cities than Albouy and Lue (2015) find for US cities.”
The Amenity Value of English Nature: A Hedonic Price Approach (2014, background): “Hedonic studies that cover multiple labour markets need to take account of variation in earnings and employment, because amenity differences are potentially compensated through expected earnings as well as housing prices (Roback, 1982, Albouy, 2008).”
The Economics of Density: Evidence from the Berlin Wall (2012, background): “variable in Columns (1)-(5) is the log difference in land prices between 1936 and 1986.”
