The impact of highways on population redistribution: the role of land development restrictions
研究了荷兰高速公路扩张如何影响人口空间分布，发现新高速公路加速了外围地区人口增长，但对郊区无显著影响，这与土地开发限制的存在一致。
Abstract We study the role of land development restrictions for the effects of highway expansion on the spatial distribution of population for the Netherlands. Introducing an IV approach to address multiple endogenous interaction variables, our findings show that new highways accelerated population growth in peripheral areas, but had no apparent effect in suburban municipalities, in line with the presence of development restrictions. Highway expansions caused a ‘leapfrog’ pattern in which suburban growth skipped development-restricted areas and expanded into farther located peripheral areas.
