“…La forme linéaire est discutable : nous aurions pu considérer une forme exponentielle inversée, qui engendre en revanche des centres des emplois multiples incompatibles avec la configuration monocentrique étudiée ici (FUJITA et OGAWA, 1982).…”

Dans un modèle de microéconomie urbaine à centre endogène où les agents choisissent librement leurs surfaces de sol, nous montrons comment une politique de réduction de la pollution émise par les déplacements domicile-travail des ménages actifs présente comme impact positif connexe une plus grande maîtrise de l’étalement urbain. Après mise en place, par un régulateur local, d’une écotaxe applicable aux seuls ménages sous la forme d’un péage urbain de type linéaire (kilométrique), les économies d’agglomération qui ont incité les firmes à se regrouper dans le centre des emplois continuent d’agir comme une externalité positive et, sous certaines conditions, se voient même renforcées.

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may 13-2-2012 AbstractOne of the classic predictions of the urban economic theory is that high-income and low-income households choose different residential locations and therefore, conditional on workplace location, have different commuting patterns. Empirical tests of this theory are not standard, due to reverse causation and lack of good control variables. In the current paper, estimates of household income on commuting distance are derived using residential changes in distance for a given workplace, so reverse causation is eliminated. Our results show that the long-run income elasticity of commuting distance is positive and around 0.18. The results suggest that the elasticities are higher for single wage-earners than for dual wage-earners and higher for females than for males.

Despite wide recognition of their significant role in explaining sustained growth and economic development, uncompensated knowledge spillovers have not yet been fully modeled with a microeconomic foundation. The main purpose of this paper is to illustrate the exchange of knowledge as well as its consequences on agglomerative activity in a general-equilibrium search-theoretic framework. Agents, possessing differentiated types of knowledge, search for partners to exchange ideas and create new knowledge in order to improve production efficacy. When individuals' types of knowledge are too diverse, a match is less likely to generate significant innovations. We demonstrate the extent of agglomeration has significant implications for the patterns of information flows in economies. Further, by simultaneously determining the patterns of knowledge exchange and the spatial agglomeration of an economy we identify additional channels for interaction between agglomerative activity and knowledge exchange. Finally, contrary to previous work in spatial agglomeration, our model suggests that agglomerative environments may be either under-specialized and under-populated or over-specialized and over-populated relative to the social optimum.
