  • 2022/08: The role of historic amenities in shaping cities

    Miquel-Àngel Garcia-López, Elisabet Viladecans-Marsal

    The existence of amenities matters to understanding people’s residential choices. Our theoretical model extends the standard urban model by introducing exogenous amenities to explain population allocation within cities. To estimate the model predictions, we focus on historic amenities using detailed geolocated data for 579 European cities. We analyze how the...

    2022/04: Low emission zones and traffic congestion: Evidence from Madrid Central

    Filippo Tassinari

    The aim of this paper is to shed light on the effect of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) on traffic. LEZs are areas in which access is restricted for the most polluting vehicles. They have been found to be effective in reducing pollution, while the expected effect on traffic is not...

    Jordi Jofre-Monseny, Rodrigo Martínez-Mazza, Mariona Segú

The policy virtually covered all the rental market and forced ads and...

    IEB Report 1/2021: La COVID-19, el teletreball i el futur de les ciutats

    La COVID-19, el teletreball i el futur de les ciutats

La vida urbana ens fa més productius perquè ens permet aprendre coses els uns dels altres i especialitzar-nos en tasques més específiques. Més recentment, les ciutats també han esdevingut llocs on la gent vol viure...

    2020/14: “Mom, Dad: I’m staying”. Initial labor market conditions, housing markets, and welfare

    Rodrigo Martínez-Mazza

    Young individuals are currently living with their parents more than at any other point in time, while also spending more on housing. In this paper, I first show how labor market entry conditions affect housing tenure and affordability in the long term, by using the unemployment rate at the time...

    2020/11: Congestion in highways when tolls and railroads matter: evidence from European cities

    Miquel-Àngel Garcia-López, Ilias Pasidis, Elisabet Viladecans-Marsal

    Using data from the 545 largest European cities, we study whether the expansion of their highway capacity provides a solution to the problem of traffic congestion. Our results confirm that in the long run, and in line with the ’fundamental law of highway congestion’, the expansion in cities of lane...
