Does land use planning shape regional economies? A simultaneous analysis of housing supply, internal migration and local employment growth in the Netherlands

A Geographically Weighted Regression Method to Spatially Disaggregate Regional Employment Forecasts for South East Queensland

“…Therefore show lower ability to attract and contain increasing retail jobs. This result is also consistent with the literature on regional labour markets, in that land use planning heterogeneously effects the regional distribution of economic activity (Vermeulen and Ommeren 2008).…”

Government intervention in land market and its impacts on land supply and new housing supply: Evidence from major Chinese markets

“…On the demand side, because government intervention in land market can help preserve environmental amenities, enhance accessibilities and promote more efficient provision of public service and infrastructure, it can increase the demand for housing through an amenity effect (Cheshire & Sheppard, 2002;Dawkins & Nelson, 2002;Ihlanfeldt, 2007). On the supply side, government intervention in land market can lead to a decline in the amount of land available for housing development, which in turn will put downward pressure on new housing supply (Cheshire & Sheppard, 2004Dawkins & Nelson, 2002;Gerald, 1992;Hui & Ho, 2003;Ihlanfeldt, 2007;Kim, 1993;Kim & Cho, 2010;Monk & Whitehead, 1999;Saiz, 2010;Vermeulen & van Ommeren, 2009). Because governments around the world are faced with the task of ensuring an adequate supply of housing to meet demand, improving housing affordability and maintaining stability in the property market (Chen, Hao, & Stephens, 2010;Chiu, 2007;Kim & Cho, 2010;Ooi, Sirmans, & Turnbull, 2011;Rosen & Ross, 2000), examining the impacts that government intervention in land market has on real estate market outcomes is an area that deserves research attention.…”

Regional Population–employment Dynamics Across Different Sectors of the Economy*

“…Depopulation has been prevalent in the southeast and the eastern part of the country. Vermeulen and van Ommeren (2009) showed that population growth in the Netherlands is to a large extent driven by housing supply, and in Vermeulen and Rouwendal (2007) they found that the price elasticity of housing supply is almost zero, especially in the short run. It is therefore appropriate to assume that, at least for the Netherlands, housing supply is exogenous to population growth, and we therefore incorporate changes in the housing stock as an exogenous variable in our population growth model.…”
