Features: Focusing on the areas 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 cannot replace private car commuting; what kind of property tax structure can increase investment and improve land use. This book fills the gap in analyzing and addressing issues such as intergovernmental fiscal relations and the efficiency of public expenditure 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 economic explanations of urban-related topics in the book hold high reference value for anyone with a strong interest in economics and who tries to analyze social problems using economic methods.
