Speculation and Monopoly in Urban Development: Analytical foundations with evidence for Toronto

By James R. Markusen and David T. Scheffman

This study evolves a model of the land development process which includes a new theory of land pricing giving special emphases to market structure, speculation, and taxation. It then applies the model to the first fully documented examination of the Toronto land market, presenting specific original data on ownership and land assembly.
