中文摘要
我们衡量孟买新地铁系统给家庭带来的收益。我们估计了一个通勤方式选择模型，以评估短期内通勤时间节省的价值；并估计了一个住房选择模型，以评估家庭因空间分选而经历的通勤效用改善的价值。当发生空间分选时，地铁带来的总收益高出10倍以上。短期内，女性、受过大学教育的劳动者以及收入高于中位数的劳动者，获得的收益高于其对应群体。长期来看，收入和资产较低、受教育程度低于大学水平的家庭，比其更富裕的对应群体获益更多。
Abstract
We measure benefits to households from Mumbai’s new Metro rail system. We estimate a commute mode choice model to value commute time savings in the short run and a housing choice model to value the improved commuting utility that households experience due to spatial sorting. Aggregate benefits from the Metro rail are over 10 times higher when spatial sorting occurs. In the short run women, college-educated workers, and workers with above median incomes experience higher benefits than their opposites. In the long run, households with lower incomes and assets and less than college education benefit more than their wealthier counterparts.
