Abstract

In this paper we investigate the possible system-wide impacts on the local economy of an improvement in amenities. The amenity improvement could take a variety of forms, such as upgrading the environment or enhancing local public service provision, and might involve public sector action.1 However, we here take the change to be entirely exogenous, and concentrate solely on the lasting economic consequences of the amenity improvement (relative to other regions). We are therefore not concerned with any transitory stimulus that expenditures associated with amenity improvement may bring, nor do we attempt to assess ‘non-economic’ effects on the quality of life in the locality.
