WEEK 3 CPT & EBA

Central Place Theory (CPT)

Economic Base Analysis (EBA)

Urban Economics

Financial Economics

Urban Economics

Knowledge about R.E Asset Market

Knowledge about R.E Space Market

R.E is an urban phenomenon

Competition in the land market

Demand side

Supply Side

Potential Land users compete for sites

Potential site compete for users

derived demand

land only has value as it enable production or consumption of g&s

Highest best use= the use that generates the most money

Equilibrium (in a well-functioning land market)

Minimisation of aggregate transport costs

Maximisation of aggregate land value

Bid Rent Curve

Max land rent a potential user would be willing to pay for a given site. (Equals residual value)

shows how potential user's bid rent changes as a function distance from a central point

central point= point at which transport cost are minimised

Each potential use has its own bid rent curve and central point

Monocentric Cities

One central pont

everyone must commute to it

Inner city houses are able to generate higher rent in equilibrium than those at the edge of the city

closer a house is to the central point, the less one spends on transportation cost (time)

Indicate productivity of land use

Height of bid-rent at central point

Indicate sensitivity of land use to accessibility

Steepness of bid-rent rejection (gradient)

Greater density of land use

More labour & capital appealed per acre

more value of inputs & outputs per acre, most needing to be transported

greater productivity

greater sensitivity

Polycentric Cities

Real cities are poly centric not mono centric

Cities with more than 1 CBD/Centre

Factors underlying CPT

Cenralising city causation (centripetal) forces are counter balanced by opposing decentralising (centrifugal) forces

Centripetal Forces

Centrifugal Forces

  1. Economies of Scale

Cheaper per unit to produce more stuff at one place

  1. Economies of Agglomeration

productivity advantage of physical clustering

  1. Positive Locational Externalities

One firm benefits another firm nearby

EG: hotel near airport

EG: food court

EG: UBER

When LIKE business cluster together for eco benefit

When UNLIKE business cluster together for eco benefit

Pollution

Congestion

Crime

High rent & urban land cost

High intra-urban land costs

Balance of forces affect pop. growth & distribution from central points in urban geographies

Cenripetal > centrifugal

Centripetal < Centrifugal

lower pop. growth & great dispersion of pop.

greater pop. growth & concentration of pop.

Definition

the sources of the city's income

the engine that drives & underlies all real estate activity in a region

Export Base Theory

Service Sector & Export Multiplier

The Export Base

Definition

  1. Export Goods
  1. Local Goods

eco growth of the city or region is dependant entirely on growth in the export sector of the local economy

2 step process to forecast metro growth

produced in greater quantities than needed for local consumption

exported to other cities, country

produced in quantities equal or less than what is need for local consumption

  1. Identify the export base industries in the local region
  1. Forecast employment growth in those industries

Location Quotient

LQ = (N_mi / N_m) / (N_i / N)

N_mi= Employment in City 'm' in Industry 'i'

N_m= Total employment in City 'm' in all industries

N_i= National employment in Industry 'i'

N= Total national employment in all industries

LQ must be significantly > than 1 to indicate that the industry is part of the export sector of the local economic base

non-basic sector

serves the local pop. and export sector

basic sector

non-basic sector= service sector

jobs that are dependent on serving the local pop.

if export sector declined = less need for the service sector

expansion in export sector creates an employment multiplier effect on total local employment

Multipliers

Employment Multiplier

Net Total Employment Increase / Export Employment Increase

Population Multiplier

Net Total Population Increase / Export Employment Increase

range: 2.0-4.0

range: 2.5-9.0

multipler effect result only from changes in export base employment
