Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of an equiproportional transport improvement (or, equivalently, a fall in the 'price' of transportation) in a fully-closed monocentric city. It focuses on the impact of the improvement on aggregate land rents, differential land rents, and aggregate transport costs. The elasticity of the aggregate transport demand is related to the elasticity of substitution between land and all other goods and the compensated elasticity of demand for land.
