City-level policies often aim at attracting skilled workers by improving urban amenities.

Therefore, we use stated-preference experiment directly examinepreferences In custom survey, elicit hypothetica...

From 1980 to 2000, the rise in the U.S. college-high school graduate wage gap coincided with increased geographic sorting as college graduates concentrated in high wage, high rent cities. This paper estimates a structural spatial equilibrium model to determine causes and welfare consequences of this increased skill sorting. While local labor demand changes fundamentally caused the increased ski...

BACKGROUND Multiple and varied benefits have been suggested for increased neighborhood walkability. However, spatial inequalities in neighborhood walkability likely exist and may be attributable, in part, to residential segregation.

Consumers value nonmarket amenities such as climate, public goods, infrastructure, and pollution. They pay for these localized amenities indirectly, through spatial variation in housing prices and wages. In this paper, we develop a macroeconomic measure of indirect amenity expenditures that is consistent with microeconomic fundamentals of spatial equilibrium and principles of national income ac...

This gentrification of central city neighborhoods has reversed decades of decline in urban centers. In this paper, I test the hypothesis that an important driving force behind gentrification is the rise in the valu...
