  • 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...

    2022/02: Effectiveness and supply effects of high-coverage rent control policies

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

This paper studies the effects of a rent control policy adopted in Catalonia in 2020 that applied to some but not all municipalities. The policy virtually covered all the rental market and forced ads and...

    IEB Report 1/2021: La COVID-19, el teletrabajo y el futuro de las ciudades

    Las ciudades son un invento de la humanidad que facilita la interacción entre las personas. La vida urbana nos hace más productivos porque nos permite aprender cosas unos de otros y especializarnos en tareas más específicas. Más recientemente, las ciudades también se han convertido en lugares donde la gente quiere...

    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...
