On the social desirability of urban rail transit systems (2007, background): “In addition, because most suburban-based rail trips are combined with an auto trip, lower gas prices could increase rail demand by expanding its catchment area (Baum-Snow and Kahn, 2005).”
Sprawl and Urban Growth (2003, unknown): “Public transit improvements to rail systems in cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Portland and Washington, DC, have only slightly increased public transit use [Baum-Snow and Kahn (2000)].”
Issues in Spatial Data Analysis (2010, background): “Since identification comes from the deviations of 13Many authors have used hedonic studies to measure the benefits of proximity to transit lines; good examples include Baum-Snow and Kahn (2000), Bowes and Ihlanfeldt (2001), Gibbons (2004), and McMillen and McDonald (2004).”
Scheduled Service Versus Personal Transportation: The Role of Distance (2008, unknown): “Some studies on choice of transport mode conclude that commuters mostly consider frequency of service (and more generally convenience of service) as one of the factors determining their elasticity (Voith, 1997 and Asensio, 2002); or the impact of urban transit projects (Baum-Snow and Kahn, 2000).”
From periphery to core: measuring agglomeration effects using high-speed rail (2018, unknown): “…a well-developed transport infrastructure enhances trade (Donaldson, 2015; Duranton, Morrow, & Turner, 2013), promotes economic growth (Banerjee, Duflo, & Qian, 2012; Duranton & Turner, 2012), and, at a more local level, increases property prices (Baum-Snow & Kahn, 2000; Gibbons & Machin, 2005).”
Why do so few women work in New York (and so many in Minneapolis)? Labor supply of married women across US cities (2007, unknown): “(See Blau (2003) for a review of this literature.”
How Does Transportation Shape Intrametropolitan Growth? An Answer from the Regional Express Rail (2017, unknown): “Baum-Snow and Kahn (2000), Baum-Snow and Kahn (2005), Bowes and Ihlanfeldt (2001), Gibbons and Machin (2005) and Ryan (2005) are good examples, but are mostly applied to U.S. cities.”
Urban Growth and Transportation (2012, unknown): “Baum-Snow and Kahn (2000) assess the effects of large transit projects on ridership and house prices at a small spatial scale.”
