在本章中，我们通过估计地方支出函数来衡量抑制城市扩张在多大程度上降低了日本提供地方公共服务的边际成本。我们通过建立一个理论框架来经济地解释估计参数，从而扩展了日本现有的估计。具体来说，我们首先结合地方公共服务的供给函数和需求函数推导出地方支出估计函数。其次，我们使用 2008 年 1085 个日本城市的横截面数据进行了估算。总体而言，城市扩张对地方支出具有积极且显着的影响，该关系的参数估计在 0.011 至 0.055 之间。这一统计上显着且理论上一致的结果表明，在日本，城市扩张减少 1% 可以将提供地方公共服务的边际成本降低 0.053-0.113%。这些结果有助于紧凑城市的定量评价。
In this chapter, we measure the extent to which the suppression of urban sprawl reduces the marginal cost of providing local public services in Japan by estimating the local expenditure function. We expand on existing estimates in Japan by establishing a theoretical framework to economically interpret the estimated parameters. Specifically, we first derive the estimated local expenditure function by combining the supply and demand functions for local public services. Second, we implement the estimation using cross-sectional data from 2008 for 1085 Japanese municipalities. Overall, urban sprawl growth has a positive and significant impact on local expenditure, with the parameters for the relationship estimated to be between 0.011 and 0.055. This statistically significant and theoretically consistent outcome suggests that, in Japan, a one percent decrease in urban sprawl can reduce the marginal cost of providing local public services by 0.053–0.113%. These results contribute to the quantitative evaluation of compact cities.
