Cost‐Benefit Analysis of Local Land Use Allocation Decisions

Journal of Regional Science, 2001, vol. 41, issue 2, 277-299

Abstract: This paper presents standard microeconomic models that are designed to be used in the cost‐benefit analysis of local land use decisions. The models connect these allocation decisions to outcomes in the urban land and labor markets so that costs and benefits can be measured. Benefits to the local jurisdiction of allocating land to industrial use exist if unemployed workers are employed, land values increase, or local tax revenues increase beyond the amount needed to provide the additional public services required.
