Nevertheless, only one previous study, Albouy et al., (2018), has attempted to measure cross-sectionally comparable aggregate land values for U.S. cities. That study relied on vacant or near-vacant land sales and used a single pooled aggregate estimate of the land value function. This research uses land values imputed by Larson et al., (2021) to estimate land value gradients for individual cities. Furthermore, the city boundary is measured using estimates of population density functions. Aggregate land value estimates from Albouy et al., (2018) and the individual city gradient approach used here are tested against the prediction of the Rosen, (1974)-Roback, (1982) model, that land value should rise with variables reflecting natural amenity. The individual city gradient approach produces estimates of intercity variation in aggregate land value that agree well with those in Albouy et al., (2018) and are consistent with theoretical expectations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48196,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science and Urban Economics","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 103995"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140055575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that firms ‘outsource’ workers to their homes to save on real estate costs, and in doing so push beyond the WFH share that maximizes skilled workers’ productivity. This effect is more pronounced if land-use regulations are strict, thus showing another channel through which the latter may reduce productivity. More efficient information and telecommunication technologies allow firms to shift office expenditures toward skilled workers who invest more in home working space.

These effects are allowed to vary with local “distress” (a low baseline employment rate of the county or CZ), and with the size of the demand shock. In more distressed CZs, a county's employment rate is more affected by county or CZ shocks. As a result, targeting or reallocating jobs to more distressed CZs will tend to raise employment rates. If a county is relatively distressed compared to its CZ, targeting job shocks at that county has greater effects on county employment rates. Reallocating CZ jobs or job shocks towards more distressed counties within a CZ results in greater effects on the CZ's average employment rate. In addition, a CZ shock's effects on a county's employment rate tend to be higher if the CZ's baseline demand-driven expected growth trend is below average. This is particularly true in CZs whose baseline distress was average or low.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48196,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science and Urban Economics","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 103988"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139883129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By leveraging data at municipal level, this paper studies the effects on the resident population of a large earthquake that affected a wide area in Central Italy in 2016. The demographic decline that the area was already experiencing before the event significantly worsened afterwards. In order to identify the earthquake’s impact a diff-in-diff event-study model is applied, thereby testing whether the control group (made up of similar municipalities in terms of geo-morphological and predetermined urbanization characteristics) provides a comparable population pattern before the event. The results show that the earthquake significantly exacerbated the population decrease, with the impact widening over time and corresponding to almost two fifths of the reduction actually observed. Although statistically significant for the whole area, the impact was more intense for the municipalities that suffered the most damage. An increasing effect on the share of elderly population was also detected. The overall impact was mostly driven by a worsening in net internal migration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48196,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science and Urban Economics","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 103985"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139646504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
