An analysis of urban growth controls with resident landowners

Instead of using the absentee-landowner assumption which prevails in the literature, this study develops a generalized growth-control model with resident landowners. It is shown that resident landowners have a weaker taste for growth control than their absentee counterparts. The reason is that resident landowners ignore the rent increase on the land they occupy, because they pay that rent to themselves. In contrast, the absentee landowners benefit from the increase in rent all over the city.
