• Abstract:
  This research examines the impact of accessibility on the growth of employment centers in the ; Los Angeles Region between 1980 and 2000. There is extensive empirical documentation of ; polycentricity – the presence of multiple concentrations of employment – in large metropolitan ; areas. However, there is limited understanding of the determinants of growth of employment ; centers. It has long been held that transportation investments influence urban structure, ; particularly freeways and airports. Using data on 48 employment centers, we test the effects of ; various measures of accessibility on center employment growth: network accessibility and two ; measures of labor force accessibility. We also test the relevance of access to airports. We find ; that after controlling for center size, density, industry mix, and location within the region, only ; labor force accessibility is significantly related to center growth.
