HOUSING SUBSIDIES AND URBAN HOUSEHOLD BEHAVIOR*
研究了住房补贴如何影响家庭在单中心城市中的住房和区位选择，分析了不同补贴方式（如按支付能力定租、一次性住房援助、住房券和按租金比例补贴）的效果，发现补贴是否附带消费限制是关键因素。
ABSTRACT. This paper examines how housing subsidies affect housing and location demands in a monocentric market, identifying the extent to which policies prompt targeted populations to congregate more or less intensely in the central city. Various subsidies are studied: rents based on ability to pay, lump‐sum housing aid, housing vouchers, and subsidies based on percentage of rent. The demand effects are seen to hinge critically upon whether or not subsidies are tied to binding consumption restrictions. Policy impacts are shown to be identical for both CBD employed and locally employed consumers targeted for the housing policies.
