Atmospheric pollution in rapidly growing industrial cities: spatial policies and land use patterns
研究了给定区域内工业和居住用地的最优与均衡分布，分析了集聚与分散力量（如污染、生产外部性和通勤成本）如何决定空间集群，并提出了通过环境税和劳动补贴来缩小最优与市场分配差距的空间政策。
We study the optimal and equilibrium distribution of industrial and residential land in a \ngiven region. The trade-off between agglomeration and dispersion forces in the form of \npollution from stationary forces, production externalities and commuting costs, \ndetermines the emergence of industrial and residential clusters across space. In this \ncontext, we define two kinds of spatial policies that can be used in order to close the \ngap between optimal and market allocations. More specifically, we show that the joint \nimplementation of a site-specific environmental tax and a site-specific labor subsidy \ncan reproduce the optimum as an equilibrium outcome. The methodological approach \nfollowed in this article allows for an endogenous determination of land use patterns.
