THE EFFECTS OF FARMLAND, FARMLAND PRESERVATION AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES ON PROXIMATE HOUSING VALUES: RESULTS OF A CONJOINT ANALYSIS OF HOUSING CHOICE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Elena G.; Roe,   Brian E.; Morrow-Jones,   Hazel.
Using stated-preference data from a choice-based conjoint analysis instrument, we estimate willingness to pay for the presence of neighboring land that is dedicated to agricultural use (versus a developed land use) and for the preservation of surrounding farmland as permanent cropland.  The data also elucidate how individuals balance the values associated with nearby agricultural land patterns with other key neighborhood characteristics such as neighborhood parks, housing density, commute times, school quality and neighborhood safety.  The median respondent from a randomly chosen sample of Columbus, Ohio homeowners was willing to pay $843 annually to avoid immediate conversion of 10 percent of agricultural land within one mile of the house valued in the...

THE EFFECT OF RURAL ZONING ON THE ALLOCATION OF LAND USE IN OHIO
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hsieh,   Wen-Hua; Irwin,   Elena G.; Libby,   Lawrence W.
By incorporating the spatially arrangement of counties relative to each other, this paper uses a land use share model to investigate the possibility that the allocation of land use in one county could be influenced by not only the degree to which the county is zoned, but also the degree to which neighboring counties are zoned due to spillovers of zoning effects among neighboring counties.  The estimation uses data on land use for 88 counties in Ohio.

Divergent Time Scales in a Coupled Ecological-Economic Model of Regional Growth
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chen,   Yong; Jayaprakash,   Ciriyam; Irwin,   Elena G.
This paper establishes a coupled human-ecological model where slow-varying migration is interacting with fast-varying nutrient dynamics in lake ecology. The nonlinearity and fast-slow dynamics built in the model can generate regime shifts (that is, shifts between different equilibrium states) and slowly-reversible ecological changes. Because ecological conditions do affect and are affected by uncoordinated individual decisions on migration and land-use, the policy challenge does not only lie in the optimal use of ecological service but also in the provision of the right incentives that regulates individual behavior. The possibility of regime shifts and slowly-reversible changes in this coupled model makes policy analysis more interesting and technically...

Modeling and Managing Urban Growth at the Rural-Urban Fringe: A Parcel-Level Model of Residential Land Use Change
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Elena G.; Bell,   Kathleen P.; Geoghegan,   Jacqueline.
As many local and state governments in the United States grapple with increasing growth pressures, the need to understand the economic and institutional factors underlying these pressures has taken on added urgency. From an economic perspective, individual land use decisions play a central role in the manifestation of growth pressures, as changes in land use pattern are the cumulative result of numerous individual decisions regarding the use of lands. In this study, the issue of growth management is addressed by developing a spatially disaggregated, microeconomic model of land conversion decisions suitable for describing residential land use change at the rural-urban fringe. The model employs parcel-level data on land use in Calvert County, Maryland, a...

A Dynamic Model of Household Location, Regional Growth and Endogenous Natural Amenities with Cross-Scale Interactions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Elena G.; Jayaprakash,   Ciriyam; Chen,   Yong.
We develop a coupled model of regional migration and lake ecology to study the influence of ecological-economic interactions and relative time scales on transient and asymptotic dynamics.  Cross-scale interactions fundamentally change system dynamics by eliminating steady states that are present in the decoupled economic model and introduce important time dependence.  We find that the relative time scales of interacting variables are a key determinant in system dynamics and resilience and that the system's asymptotic behavior cannot be determined without considering the full dynamics of the system.  Other time-dependent effects are found to matter, e.g., when households base their perceptions of environmental amenities on past observation, a path...

FLIGHT FROM BLIGHT VS. NATURAL EVOLUTION: DETERMINATS OF HOUSEHOLD RESIDENTIAL LOCATION CHOICE AND SUBURBANIZATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bayoh,   Isaac; Irwin,   Elena G.; Haab,   Timothy C.
Using a unique dataset on the characteristics, origin, and destination of households who engaged in intrametropolitan moves in the Columbus, Ohio area, we estimate a hybrid conditional logit choice model of residential location that separately identifies the push/pull influence of local public goods, namely school quality and public safety, from household income and other lifecycle effects.  Our results provide evidence of both a "natural evolution" of households, due to income and household structural changes, as well as a "flight from blight", due to higher crime rates, lower school quality, and lower quality of housing stock in the central city.  In comparing the magnitudes of these variables, we find that the influence of public school quality is...

HETEROGENEITY IN THE HINTERLAND: A TYPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF OHIO EXURBAN AREAS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Elena G.; Sharp,   Jeff.
Located between suburban and rural regions, exurban areas are among the fastest growing regions in the U.S.  To better understand exurban changes and their policy implications, we develop a typology of rural-urban places and use statistical methods to examine township patterns of exurban change in Ohio.

An Agent-Based Model of Exurban Land Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chen,   Yong; Irwin,   Elena G.; Jayaprakash,   Ciriyam.
In contrast to urban areas that are aptly characterized by a large population base and scarce land supply, exurban regions have limited households and plentiful land. This basic difference has far reaching implications for spatial equilibrium in exurban land markets. Rather than bidding their maximum willingness-to-pay and reaching a spatial equilibrium in which households are indifferent to location, as is the central condition of urban economic models, we argue that exurban households will be able to retain some amount of surplus in moving to an exurban location and therefore will choose the location that maximizes this locational surplus. In this paper, we first review the handful of structural spatial models of exurban land development that have been...

DOES DISTANCE MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS?  THE ROLE OF SPATIAL EXTERNALITIES AND INCOME IN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Moreno-Sanchez,   Rocio del Pilar; Irwin,   Elena G.
Scattered residential development is explained using a theoretical model of residential location in which household interactions generate externalities that determine location choices.  Results demonstrate the role of income and heterogeneous preferences in generating this form of sprawl.  Among our findings is that rising income generates only temporary increases in sprawl.

Incorporating Spatial Complexity into Economic Models of Land Markets and Land Use Change
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chen,   Yong; Irwin,   Elena G.; Jayaprakash,   Ciriyam.
Recent work in regional science, geography, and urban economics has advanced spatial modeling of land markets and land use by incorporating greater spatial complexity, including multiple sources of spatial heterogeneity, multiple spatial scales, and spatial dynamics. Doing so has required a move away from relying solely on analytical models to partial or full reliance on computational methods that can account for these added features of spatial complexity. In the first part of the paper, we review economic models of urban land development that have incorporated greater spatial complexity, focusing on spatial simulation models with spatial endogenous feedbacks and multiple sources of spatial heterogeneity. The second part of the paper presents a spatial...

THE VALUE OF CLEAN DAIRY AIR: ACCOUNTING FOR ENDOGENEITY AND SPATIALLY CORRELATED ERRORS IN A HEDONIC ANALYSES OF THE IMPACT OF ANIMAL OPERATIONS ON LOCAL PROPERTY VALUES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bayoh,   Isaac; Irwin,   Elena G.; Roe,   Brian E.
We study the effect of livestock operations on property values using a hedonic analysis in five Ohio townships.  Unlike previous studies, we account for endogenous livestock location variables and spatially correlated errors.  Results suggest failure to correct for these problems results in biased estimates of livestock impacts on property values.

THE INFLUENCE OF WATER QUALITY ON THE HOUSING PRICE AROUND LAKE ERIE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ara,   Shihomi; Irwin,   Elena G.; Haab,   Timothy C.
The primary objective of this paper is to estimate the influence of Lake Erie water quality on the housing price by taking spatial effects into account. The robust LM tests for spatial autocorrelation suggested that spatial error model specification is more likely model in our study.  Fecal coliform counts and Secchi depth disk reading are used as water quality measures. In order to overcome the spatio-temporal aspects of Secchi depth disk reading data, Kriging was used for spatial prediction. We found the significant influences of both water quality measures on housing values. Gradient effects considering the distance from a beach and water quality variables are also observed.

SPATIAL DEPENDENCE AMONG COUNTY-LEVEL LAND USE CHANGES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hsieh,   Wen-Hua; Irwin,   Elena G.; Forster,   D. Lynn.
Spatial econometric methods are used to investigate whether land use changes in one county are affected by changes in surrounding counties.  Spatial dependence is hypothesized to arise from land substitution effects among neighboring counties.  The estimation uses data on land use change for 1,055 counties of 12 Midwest states.

Exploiting spatial and temporal variations in residential subdivision development to identify urban growth spillovers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Towe,   Charles A.; Klaiber,   H. Allen; Wrenn,   Douglas H.; Newburn,   David A.; Irwin,   Elena G.
Minimum lot size zoning requirements are a frequent policy tool used to restrict the density and location of residential development. Zoning regulations are typically instituted and adopted locally, often with limited input from surrounding jurisdictions. Autonomous local land use regulations that constrain some, but not all development within a region create discrete differences in the returns to development across otherwise similar locations and are hypothesized to lead to a lower density, more scattered land development pattern. We examine the rural down-zoning policy in Baltimore County, Maryland in 1976 and its potential effect on creating urban growth spillovers in the adjacent counties. Using propensity score matching methods combined with a...

EXPLAINING HOUSEHOLD LOCATION CHOICES USING A SPATIAL PROBIT MODEL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ozturk,   Erdogan; Irwin,   Elena G.
A spatial probit model is estimated to test the influence of public services and neighborhood characteristics on relocation decisions of homebuyers in the Columbus, Ohio region.  The model explicitly accounts for the spatial error autocorrelation that arises due to unobserved similarities across alternatives, which, if uncontrolled, results in inconsistent parameter estimates.

Using Regression Discontinuity Design to Identify the Effect of Zoning
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Elena G.; Carrion-Flores,   Carmen E.
We test the effect of minimum lot zoning on rural-to-urban land use conversion using Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD), a technique that exploits natural discontinuities in the data to identify causal effects.  Observations are drawn from either size of a discontinuous minimum lot size zoning boundary.  Using these selected sub-samples, a binary discrete choice model of residential land use change is estimated using parcel-level data and other spatially explicit data from an exurban county that lies on the fringes of Cleveland, Ohio.  Results show that controlling for unobserved correlation in the data clearly identifies a negative and significant effect of larger minimum lot size zoning on the probability of conversion to a residential use.
