Who Sprawls Most? Exploring the Patterns of Urban Growth across 26 European Countries (2012, background): “…growing physical footprint of cities and their declining densities by the combined effect of demographic and economic growth, rising affl uence, enhanced individual mobility, and decreasing agricultural land rents (Brueckner and Fansler, 1983; Glaeser and Kahn, 2003; Mieszkowski and Mills, 1993).”
Does spatial agglomeration increase national growth? some evidence from Europe (2011, background): “And other studies also question the benefits of agglomeration because of the congestion costs, commuting costs, and other negative externalities that may arise (see, for example, Glaeser and Kahn, 2004; Accetturo, 2010).”
Agglomeration and growth: The effects of commuting costs* (2008, neutral): “Although the core-periphery reversal (\bell-shaped" agglomeration) is not new in 2From the policy-maker's point of view this is extremely interesting as there is great concern that \agglomeration economies may be reduced by congestion" (Glaeser and Kahn, 2004).”
Are compact cities environmentally friendly (2012, neutral): “  −   = (2 −  ) =  3 − 1 4  (16)”
Compactness versus Sprawl (2015, background): “The biggest subsidies, however, are for the highway system (Baum-Snow 2007; Glaeser and Kahn 2003; Su and DeSalvo 2008).”
Rural-to-Urban Commuting: Three Degrees of Integration (2010, background): “The provision of the higher-order of goods and services (urban amenities) augments the advantages of concentrated economic activities for households (Glaeser and Kahn 2003), beyond productivity advantages accruing to firms.”
Why do the poor live in cities? The role of public transportation ✩ (2008, positive): “As discussed in Baum-Snow and Kahn [4], these transit expansions were intended to connect suburban locations to the Central Business District.”
Consumption amenities and city population density (2008, background): “It is constructed as a population-weighted average of raw subunit densities (Glaeser and Kahn, 2004; Rappaport, forthcoming).”
