Abstract: This toolkit allows for counterfactual evaluations of the effects of changes in labor productivity, quality of life, or housing productivity on employment, wage, and housing rent in a spatial general equilibrium framework with heterogeneous worker preferences. We use a toy version of the Quantitative Spatial Model in Ahlfeldt, Bald, Roth, Seidel (WIP). To establish the general equilibrium, the model clears the labor, housing, and goods market. For didactic purposes, we generate a graph that illustrates all combinations between the following endogenous variables that satisfy all equilibrium conditions: wage vs. employment, employment vs. rent, rent vs. wage. The rectangles in the graphs generated by the program represent the only combinations of employment, wage, and rent that satisfy all equilibrium conditions of the model.
