| Research Abstract |
It is well know that people in Japanese metropolitan areas are suffering from distant commuting and living in small houses. Especially, Severe congestion and length of commuting are notorious. In the face of these problem, this project investigated the determinants of spatial distributions of economic activities. These determinants include the infrastructure of transportation, land use and housing regulations, and local governments' policies.
Our attainments are, for example, the followings :
1. We developed models that enable us to consider how city structure affects the regional labor markets and patterns of migration of workers.
2. We analyzed the relationship between city structure and features of fiscal competition of local governments, and the resulting provision of social capital. We further examined how local governments policies affect the spatial distributions of economic activities and hence, the residential and working environment of people.
3. Using data on the Japanese housing market, we investigated empirically the responses of housing market conditions to the governments' policies and economic environment.
