Modern industrial structure and development of house price spatial disparity : a general case for Iceland - a large but thinly populated European country

Vinnugrein (Working paper) Þróun á landfræðilegum breytileika íbúðaverðs er til skoðunar í þessari grein. Þessi breytileiki myndast vegna óska og forgangsröðunar neytenda á aðgengi sem borgir veita og náttúrugæða sem dreifbýli veitir. Samkvæmt útvíkkun Alonso’s á kenningum von Thünen’s, lýtur íbúðav...
