Abstract
Much of the literature in housing and urban economics emphasizes the abundance of externalities, or neighborhood effects in cities, but little formal analysis has been conducted so far to take account of their impact on the allocation decisions of firms and consumers in urban space. This is true especially for analyses of the urban housing sector. In fact, the relevance of externalities on allocation decisions in this sector has been denied on theoretical grounds especially by Mills [1] and Muth[2] although empirical analyses, e.g. by Kain and Quigley [3], [4] or Bourne [5] tend to confirm their importance.
