Consumer goods ; Consumption ; Preference ; Social practice
This study of consumption extends the field of enquiry to include the full range of goods and services consumed by households rather than concentrating upon the narrower field of mass produced articles which has been the concern of those
investigating consumerism. A fourfold classification allows an investigation of the historical and evolutionary significance of positional goods.
Advertising and city formation with local public goods
The A. intends to integrate imperfect information into the Tiebout-type model so as to examine the role of information in city formation with local public goods. He focuses on a specific land market in which land developers try to form cities
by providing some quantity of local public goods as club goods. A structure of information transmission is adopted which assumes a random process in the allocation of advertisements.
Co-evolution of gated communities and local public goods
This article examines the co-evolution of gated communities and local public goods in Seoul, South Korea. It identifies co-evolutionary relationships between club goods supplied in condominiums and public goods supplied by municipalities and market
. It also finds evidence of intra-urban market and shows how the substitution of club goods for positive urban externalities seems to weaken the influence of general accessibility on residential locational behaviour.
Crown Land disposal in the Cape of Good Hope 1853-1914

Le cursus universitaire proposé par Goode en 1902 pour la géographie, représente une synthèse de conceptions opposées sur la recherche géographique, l'une venant de la géologie, l'autre de l'économie. Il proposait douze aspects généraux
Local public goods, heterogeneous population, voluntary transfers, and constrained efficient allocations
When the individuals are identical with respect to their marginal rate of substitution of private for public goods since local authorities will make efficient transfers to other regions by themselves, an intervention of the central government
This paper provides an extended guide to reviewing for Earth Surface Processes and Landforms in particular and geomorphology in general, considering what makes a fair and constructive review. The A. identifies six elements of a good review and notes
A dunai folyami aruszallitas foldrajzi kapcsolatai és annak magyar vonatkozasai. (Geographical aspects of the transportation of goods on the Danube river and related Hungarian problems)
The paper consisting of two parts wishes to point out by citing numerous examples that the transportation of goods on the rivers in the Danubian Basin due to the lack of infrastructural services, lags far behind the Main and the Rhein. Within a few

The impact of rising energy prices on the locational pattern of industries is analyzed by a simple two-firm straight line location model. The concavity of average cost function of final consumer's good with respect to locational variables is proved
of two industries, i.e., intermediate good industry and consumer's good industry.
Since the early 1990s there has been intensive discussion in Germany on the construction of goods-traffic centres. Today more than 40 projects have reached an advanced stage of planning or of realisation. Originally the idea of goods-traffic centres
reflected aims emanating from the fields of transportation, economic, urban-development as well as environmental policy. Early practical experience of goods-traffic centres has led to the economic aims behind these centres being emphasised at the expense
of the other aims. There is a future for goods-traffic centres if they are developed consistently as centres of logistic competence in the egions in which they are located. - (MT)
