Voting on urban land development
分析了德国埃尔朗根市2011-2018年间关于土地开发和用途管制的多次地方公投，发现出行距离对开发支持率有正向影响，并考察了居民对住宅和商业区开发的偏好差异。
Abstract In this paper, we analyze several local referendums on land development and land‐use regulation in the City of Erlangen (Germany) between 2011 and 2018. To identify the positive influence of the travel distance on approval for land development, we control for distance to the city center and density, employ a two‐way fixed‐effect model, and use spatial instruments. We also analyze the heterogeneity of city dwellers' preferences for the development of residential and commercial areas. In particular, we examine the differences between homeowners and tenants in this regard.
