Redevelopment along arterial streets: The effects of light rail on land use change
利用明尼阿波利斯的地块数据和双重差分法，发现轻轨对土地利用变化的影响取决于处理区域的定义：圆形缓冲区显示无影响，而沿主干道区域则显著增加再开发可能性。
Abstract We use difference‐in‐differences approaches and parcel‐level data from Minneapolis to estimate the effects of light rail on land use change using alternate definitions of treatment area. Results using circular buffers corroborate previous findings that light rail has virtually no effect on land use change in our study area. In contrast, light rail increases the likelihood of land use change along arterial streets that cross the line at station areas. To accurately model the effects of public transit projects on urban land use, one must consider how potential riders access station areas, rather than assuming accessibility improves radially around a station.
