Agglomeration Diseconomies of Traffic Congestion and Agglomeration Economies of Interaction in the Information‐Oriented City
构建了信息导向城市中土地、劳动力和交通市场的局部均衡模型，通过数值计算比较自由放任与最优均衡，发现最优状态下CBD更紧凑而城市更郊区化，并分析了庇古税和补贴对空间结构的影响。
This paper presents a partial equilibrium model of land, labor, and transportation markets in an information‐oriented city with traffic congestion of commuting and agglomeration economies of interaction. We derive the equilibria by numerical computations using specific utility, production, and congestion functions. The laissez‐faire equilibrium is compared with the optimum. In contrast with the results of many previous papers, at the optimum the CBD becomes compact and the city more suburbanized than the laissez‐faire equilibrium. We also analyze the effects of a Pigouvian tax system and subsidies on the spatial structure in the city.
