downtown parking supply work trip mode choice and urban Spatial Structure
Transportation Research Part B-methodological, 2017Co-Authors: Sofia F FrancoAbstract:Abstract This paper examines the effects of changes in downtown parking supply on urban welfare, modal choice decisions and urban Spatial Structure using a Spatial general equilibrium model of a closed monocentric city with two transport modes, endogenous residential parking and a form of bottleneck congestion at the CBD. Our analysis shows that parking reforms at the CBD that increase delay congestion costs in the short-run such as parking supply limits can be welfare improving if other commuting externalities such as air pollution can be reduced. In addition, because parking limits can also change location decisions such as where to live and invest they may complement anti-sprawl policies efforts by leading to a more compact urban Spatial Structure in the long run. We also show that changes in downtown parking supply can have different Spatial impacts on the market supply of residential parking by affecting urban residents’ location decisions. Finally, we investigate whether the self-financing theorem of transportation economics holds within the context of our Spatial urban model.

We also show that changes in downtown parking supply can have different Spatial impacts on the market supply of residential parking by affecting urban residents’ location decisions. Finally, we discuss the role of parking pricing as a complementary tool of congestion pricing to combat congestion in central areas and investigate whether the self-financing theorem of transportation economics holds within the context of our Spatial urban model.

impacts of urban containment policies on the Spatial Structure of us metropolitan areas
Urban Studies, 2011Co-Authors: Jeanmichel GuldmannAbstract:This paper examines the impacts of different types of urban containment policies (UCPs) on the Spatial Structure of US metropolitan areas, with a particular focus on UCP tightness. These UCPs include state-mandated urban growth boundaries (UGBs), locally adopted urban growth boundaries and urban service areas (USAs). Population and employment density gradients, taken as concentration measures, are estimated for 135 metropolitan areas and are then used in a simultaneous equation model to assess the impacts of different UCPs on metropolitan Spatial Structure. The results suggest that state-mandated ‘strong’ UGBs more effectively promote growth within the boundaries than locally adopted UGBs or USAs.

effect of Spatial Structure on the evolution of cooperation
Physical Review E, 2009Co-Authors: Carlos P Roca, Jose A Cuesta, Angel SanchezAbstract:Spatial Structure is known to have an impact on the evolution of cooperation, and so it has been intensively studied during recent years. Previous work has shown the relevance of some features, such as the synchronicity of the updating, the clustering of the network, or the influence of the update rule. This has been done, however, for concrete settings with particular games, networks, and update rules, with the consequence that some contradictions have arisen and a general understanding of these topics is missing in the broader context of the space of 2 2 games. To address this issue, we have performed a systematic and exhaustive simulation in the different degrees of freedom of the problem. In some cases, we generalize previous knowledge to the broader context of our study and explain the apparent contradictions. In other cases, however, our conclusions refute what seems to be established opinions in the field, as for example the robustness of the effect of Spatial Structure against changes in the update rule, or offer new insights into the subject, e.g., the relation between the intensity of selection and the asymmetry between the effects on games with mixed equilibria.

Spatial Structure and distribution of small pelagic fish in the northwestern mediterranean sea
PLOS ONE, 2014Co-Authors: Claire Saraux, Jeanmarc Fromentin, Jeanlouis Bigot, Jeanherve Bourdeix, Marie Morfin, David Roos, Elisabeth Van BeverenAbstract:Understanding the ecological and anthropogenic drivers of population dynamics requires detailed studies on habitat selection and Spatial distribution. Although small pelagic fish aggregate in large shoals and usually exhibit important Spatial Structure, their dynamics in time and space remain unpredictable and challenging. In the Gulf of Lions (north-western Mediterranean), sardine and anchovy biomasses have declined over the past 5 years causing an important fishery crisis while sprat abundance rose. Applying geostatistical tools on scientific acoustic surveys conducted in the Gulf of Lions, we investigated anchovy, sardine and sprat Spatial distributions and Structures over 10 years. Our results show that sardines and sprats were more coastal than anchovies. The Spatial Structure of the three species was fairly stable over time according to variogram outputs, while year-to-year variations in kriged maps highlighted substantial changes in their location. Support for the McCall's basin hypothesis (covariation of both population density and presence area with biomass) was found only in sprats, the most variable of the three species. An innovative method to investigate species collocation at different scales revealed that globally the three species strongly overlap. Although species often co-occurred in terms of presence/absence, their biomass density differed at local scale, suggesting potential interspecific avoidance or different sensitivity to local environmental characteristics. Persistent favourable areas were finally detected, but their environmental characteristics remain to be determined.
