“…That said, there are other types of knowledge and ideas that can be spread. Another issue is that the intensity of the social interaction may depend on population density, though it is not obvious whether the short distance to neighbours in urban areas reduces the amount of social interaction (Brueckner and Largey 2008) or has the opposite impact (Putnam 2000).…”

“…Whether compact urban development is the most sustainable urban form remains a hotly debated topic among urban planning scholars (Neuman 2005;Echenique et al 2012). A significant amount of research has been conducted to define and quantify urban sprawl (Wassmer 2000;Galster et al 2001;Tsai 2005); to evaluate its impact on environment, society, transportation, economy, and energy efficiency (Stone 2008;Brueckner and Largey 2008;Carruthers and Ulfarsson 2003;Holden and Norland 2005), and to evaluate alternative policy measures for achieving sustainable urban form (Nelson and Moore 1996;Song and Knaap 2004). However, what currently draws the most attention from researchers in this arena is the connection between transportation and climate change.…”

Previous urban sprawl studies have typically taken a cross-sectional approach without examining how sprawling urban areas are performing over time. Longitudinal studies of individual or household travel behavior and built-environment preference have made some progress in this direction, but very few studies have explored the longitudinal interaction of urban form with transportation and environmental outcomes. This study begins to fill this gap by evaluating the transportation and environmental impact dynamics of several key dimensions of urban sprawl: density, land use mix, centrality, and street connectivity. The central hypothesis is that while the built environment is durable and development patterns change slowly, the impacts of urban sprawl are dynamic rather than static and are accelerated in more sprawling cities relative to less sprawling cities. To test this hypothesis, a panel dataset of 7 years (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007) was developed for 60 Metropolitan Statistical Areas of the US and a hybrid modeling framework that incorporates fixed and random effects is applied to evaluate different transportation and environmental outcomes over time. We found that the influence of urban centrality or the strength of urban subcenters on the travel pattern of commuters and transit users is dynamic. This suggests that people living in cities with stronger centers drive less and use public transportation more over time. For environmental outcomes, we found that cities with higher density have experienced a significant decrease in ambient ozone and PM 2.5 concentrations after controlling city-specific variables.

Abstract: We make use of predicted social and civic activities (social capital) to account for selection into "social" occupations. Individual selection accounts for more than the total difference in wages observed between social and nonsocial occupations. The role that individual social capital plays in selecting into these occupations and the importance of selection in explaining wage differences across occupations is similar for both men and women. We make use of restricted data from the 2000 decennial census and the 2000 Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey. Individual social capital is instrumented by distance-weighted surrounding census tract characteristics.JEL classification: J31, J24, C34
