• Gentrification Trends in New Transit-Oriented Communities: Evidence from 14 Cities that Expanded and Built Rail Transit Systems (2007, unknown): “…a linear panel estimator, I am assuming that the error term is uncorrelated with the explanatory variables.17 With tract, year 16 In previous work (Baum-Snow and Kahn 2005), I documented the importance of controlling for metropolitan statistical area (MSA)-level trends that vary within the metro…”
• Evaluating Public Transit Benefits and Costs (2015, background): “Baum-Snow and Kahn (2005) found that in “old rail” cities (cities that have wellestablished rail transit systems in 1970) transit commuting declined from 30% in 1970 to 23% in 1990.”
• Public transit investment and sustainable transportation: A review of studies of transit's impact on traffic congestion and air quality (2015, background): “Baum-Snow and Kahn (2005) and Anderson (2014) emphasize the importance of accounting for intra-city heterogeneity across commuters when estimating the effect of transit supply on congestion, whereas the results of Beaudoin et al. (2015a) focus on the importance of inter -city heterogeneity.”
• Urban Structure and Energy—A Review (2008, background): “Some economists are sceptical of rail’s ability to attract riders away from the car and reduce vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT) and vehicle ownership (Kain, 1992; Richmond, 2001; Bertaud, 2003; Glaeser & Kahn, 2004; Garrett, 2004; Baum-Snow & Kahn, 2005).”
• Do greens drive Hummers or hybrids? Environmental ideology as a determinant of consumer choice (2007, unknown): “The data source is Baum-Snow and Kahn [3]: % Green Partyj ¼ cþ b1 # Xj þUj.”
• Why do the poor live in cities? The role of public transportation ✩ (2008, methodology): “17 In column (3), we instrument for public transportation usage using distance to train lines (see Baum-Snow and Kahn, 2005).”
• 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).”
