Spatial segregation and urban structure [PDF]

Journal of Regional Science, 2019
AbstractIn this paper, we develop a model of spatial segregation mediated by competitive land prices. Agents of two groups consume city land and benefit from social interactions. Because of cultural or ethnic differences, intragroup interactions are more frequent than intergroup ones.

Urban Structure and Environmental Externalities [PDF]

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2017
The objective of this paper is to analyze policy design for air pollution management in the spatial context of urban development. We base our analysis on the paper of Ogawa and Fujita (1982), which o ers a proper theoretical framework of non-monocentric urban land use using static microeconomic theory where the city structure is endogenous.
