本文建立了一个模型，异质家庭和企业谁可以在城市的任何地方。该模型的主要特征是交通拥挤和家庭对开放空间的偏好，这两者都与城市扩张密切相关。该模型还包括聚集经济，提供了家庭和企业如何选择地点的更完整的画面。数值结果表明，均衡的位置模式，租金和工资在不同的模型规格。然后，本文比较了两种流行的反蔓延政策的影响：城市增长边界（UGBs）和拥挤收费。当无补贴的聚集经济非常高时，拥挤定价可能不是最佳的，UGB可能会也可能不会改善福利，这取决于家庭对开放空间的偏好程度。
This paper develops a model with heterogeneous households and firms who can locate anywhere in the city. The main features of the model are traffic congestion and household preferences for open space, both of which are closely associated with urban sprawl. The model also includes agglomeration economies, providing a more complete picture of how households and firms choose locations. Numerical results show equilibrium location patterns, rents, and wages under different model specifications. This paper then compares the impacts of two popular anti-sprawl policies: urban growth boundaries (UGBs) and congestion pricing. Congestion pricing may not be optimal when unsubsidized agglomeration economies are very high, and a UGB may or may not be welfare-improving, depending on the strength of household preferences for open space.
