摘要

本文估算了费城颁布新分区法对城市发展和犯罪的影响。新的分区法规旨在减轻房地产开发和土地用途变更的监管负担,但该法允许市议会成员保留对其辖区内城市发展的特权。市议会选区特权在分区法规促进城市发展的能力方面造成了任意的地理不连续性。利用不连续性差异设计,我们发现新的分区法规导致对城市发展不太友好的议会选区的土地使用分区变更和建筑许可比邻近选区减少了 35%。城市发展的减少对犯罪没有短期影响。建筑项目和土地用途变更似乎都发生在人口最稠密的地区,这表明不太倾向于城市发展的议会选区阻止了原本可以成为新住宅开发源头的地区的住宅建设。

Does urban development influence crime? Evidence from Philadelphia’s new zoning regulations

This paper estimates the effect of enacting a new zoning code in Philadelphia on urban development and crime. The new zoning code was intended to ease regulatory burdens for property development and land use changes, but the law allowed city council members to keep prerogative over urban development in their districts. The council district prerogative created arbitrary geographic discontinuities in the ability of the zoning code to promote urban development. Using a difference-in-discontinuities design, we find that the new zoning regulation caused a 35 percent reduction in land use zoning changes and building permits in council districts less friendly to urban development relative to neighboring districts. The decline in urban development had no short-term effect on crime. Construction projects and land-use changes appear to occur in the most densely populated areas, suggesting that council districts less inclined to urban development prevent residential construction in areas that would otherwise be a source for new residential housing development.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Urban Economics provides a focal point for the publication of research papers in the rapidly expanding field of urban economics. It publishes papers of great scholarly merit on a wide range of topics and employing a wide range of approaches to urban economics. The Journal welcomes papers that are theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. Although the Journal is not intended to be multidisciplinary, papers by noneconomists are welcome if they are of interest to economists. Brief Notes are also published if they lie within the purview of the Journal and if they contain new information, comment on published work, or new theoretical suggestions.
