The Other Side of Eight Mile: Suburban Population and Housing Supply
建立了美国郊区人口十年变化与住房供给之间的关联,利用317个郊区的数据估计了1970-1990年代的供给弹性,发现郊区供给弹性高于市中心,且不同地区差异显著。
This article establishes a linkage between decadal changes in suburban population and the supply of suburban dwelling units. It then estimates an econometric supply-and-demand model for 317 U.S. suburban areas for the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s using the State of the Cities database. Suburban supply is more elastic than central city supply, with suburban estimates between +1.26 and +1.42. However, separate estimates by geographic region lead to supply elasticities of +0.89 for the northeastern quadrant of the United States and +1.86 for the remainder of the United States.
