Features: Focusing on the fields covered by urban economics, this book presents new theoretical and empirical research data, such as: why the public transportation system in the San Francisco Bay Area is inefficient and unable to replace private car commuting; what kind of property tax structure can boost investment and improve land use. The book fills a gap in analyzing and addressing issues such as intergovernmental fiscal relations and the efficiency of public spending management, making it particularly valuable for scholars or government officials in urban planning, public policy, and public administration. The author is a renowned economist in contemporary urban studies, and his mastery and ingenuity in applying economic methods, especially microeconomic tools, will leave you amazed. The book's economic explanations of urban-related topics are highly reference-worthy for anyone with a strong interest in economics and who seeks to analyze social issues using economic perspectives.
