Affordability Index for Transportation and Housing:An Application in Beijing
针对传统住房可负担性指标无法充分反映家庭区位成本负担的问题，设计了一个新的交通与住房可负担性指数，并估算了北京64个区域的该指数，讨论了政策含义。
Urban spatial structure theories indicate that urban land use and transportation are closely interacted.Transportation cost and housing cost induced by residential location choice are highly correlated.Therefore,the traditional housing affordability indicators cannot sufficiently reveal the location-specific cost burden for households.This paper designs a new affordability index for transportation and housing,and estimates this index for 64 zones in Beijing.The policy implications of this new index are also discussed.
