Racial prejudice in a search model of the urban housing market
(Elsevier, 1978-07)
A simple model of buyer search in an urban housing market is employed to demonstrate that if some whites are unwilling to sell housing to blacks competitive equilibria in which blacks pay more for housing than whites are ...
Characterization of optima in smooth Pareto economic systems
(Elsevier, 1975)
Simple techniques of calculus and geometry are used to study and characterize the optima of pure exchange economies in which the utility functions are smooth but not necessarily convex. It is also shown how one can reduce ...
On the effects of federal capital taxation on growing and declining areas
(Elsevier, 1983-09)
It has often been claimed that measures designed to stimulate capital formation at the national level will accelerate the decline of regions that are not growing. A number of simple models are employed to evaluate this ...
On the measurement of benefits in an urban context: Some general equilibrium issues
(Elsevier, 1978-07)
The validity of using local market data to measure the benefits associated with policies adopted in an urban area is investigated. It is shown that the rest of the world is affected by taxing decisions undertaken in a ...
Counting Groves-Ledyard equilibria via degree theory
(Elsevier, 1983-10)
We study the Groves-Ledyard mechanism for determining optimal amounts of public goods in economies whose agents have the most general class of preferences for which a Pareto amount of public goods can be computed independently ...
Robbing Peter to pay Peter: The economics of local public residency requirements
(Elsevier, 1988-05)
On the effect of fiscal zoning on land and housing values
(Elsevier, 1976-01)
The note is a comment on and extension of "The Effect of Zoning on Land Value," by J. C. Ohls, R. C. Weisberg, and M. J. White. It is suggested that some of the results of that paper are very sensitive to the way in which ...
On models of racial prejudice and urban residential structure
(Elsevier, 1977-07)
Economists have studied the effects of racial prejudice on urban residential structure using a set of models that focus on conditions at the border between the black and white areas. This paper is a review of the theoretical ...
