Abstract:As the first to use an archival data set on historical land values in Berlin, Germany, from 1890 to 1936, we investigate the impact of the rapid transport system on urban decentralization, using comparative statics of classical rent theory as a benchmark. We find that the monocentric model performs well over the entire period studied, revealing gradients that -although diminishing over time -turn out to be relatively steep in international comparison. Travel time to CBD measures incorporating the rapid transport network, however, clearly outperform traditional distance to CBD measures in terms of explanatory power. The evolution of the rapid transit network, and the subsequent changes in travel times to the CBD, explain almost three quarter of the overall trend in decentralization. Endogeneity concerns are addressed in an IV framework using a counterfactual transport network as an instrument.

Historical Perspectives on U.S. Economic Geography

We review historical patterns of "economic geography" for the United States from the colonial period to the present day. The analysis is framed in terms of two geographic scales: regions and cities. The compelling reason for studying geographic areas of different scales is that models that explain the location of economic activities at one scale many not apply to other scales. We consider the process of settling the "frontier"; the development of national markets in goods and factors and, more generally, the convergence (and divergence) of regional economies; the growth of cities and the relationship between urbanization and trends in aggregate economic structure, such as industrialization; and changes in the internal spatial structure of cities.

“…El marco de referencia analítico para estimar los efectos de estos determinantes sobre los precios de la vivienda es el modelo de estructura espacial urbana de Mills y Muth (Brueckner, 1987). Varios trabajos se destacan dentro de este marco de análisis: McDonald y Bowman (1979), McMillen (1996), McDonald y McMillen (1990), McMillen (1990), McMillen et al (1992) El segundo grupo corresponde a los determinantes relacionados con la política de ordenamiento territorial. Desde esta perspectiva, la zonificación de usos del suelo implica decisiones de localización de los agentes que en teoría deberían seguir un patrón de uso del suelo eficiente desde el punto de vista paretiano.…”
