    Changes in access to homeownership during the 1970s (1985)
    Springer
    The annals of regional science 19 (1985), S. 37-49

    Notes: Abstract During the mid and late 1970s housing price inflation made the purchase of a home problematic for large numbers of Americans. This paper uses Annual Housing Survey (AHS) data from five successive years, 1974 to 1978, to analyze the extent of the affordability crisis. It outlines the changes in the size and characteristics of the stream of movers from rented to owner occupied housing which would accompany an affordability crisis and examines AHS data for evidence of these changes. The results suggest that the exclusionary effects of housing price inflation were confined to the southern and western regions of the United States. The causes for these regional differentials and their implications for housing policy are briefly explored.

    Social responses to commodity shortages: The 1973–1974 gasoline crisis (1980)
    Springer
    Human ecology 8 (1980), S. 193-212 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9915
    Keywords: social responses ; gasoline shortage ; rationing
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering , Ethnic Sciences
    Notes: Abstract This paper examines social responses to the 1973–1974 gasoline crisis in the United States, using newspaper reports of automobile driver behavior in two metropolitan areas and American Automobile Association data on the adoption of rationing plans and the availability of gasoline in 48 states. From these data it is possible to identify two types of responses: individual responses by automobile drivers, which occurred in every region affected by the shortages, and collective responses in the form of rationing plans adopted by governments and gas station operators in the regions with the most severe shortages. In the latter regions the responses occurred in sequence, with individual responses emerging first and collective responses developing later.

    Roads, speculators, and colonization in the Ecuadorian Amazon (1983)
    Springer
    Human ecology 11 (1983), S. 385-403 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9915
    Keywords: Amazon ; colonization ; roads ; policy
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering , Ethnic Sciences
    Notes: Abstract In view of the generally disappointing performance of colonization projects in the Amazon basin, unusual projects merit close scrutiny because they may suggest a more effective organizational form for the colonization of humid lowlands. With this end in mind, this article examines those aspects of the Upano-Palora project in southeastern Ecuador that are attributable to the project's unusual plan of establishing settlements first and building the roads afterwards. It concludes that the “settlements first, roads second” developmental sequence reduced the costs of the project, produced an egalitarian pattern of landownership, and contributed to a pattern of land use that had potentially damaging ecological effects. These findings suggest that variations in the timing of road building have an important impact on outcomes in new land settlement schemes.

    Resource partitioning and regional development strategies in the Ecuadorian Amazon (1989)
    Springer
    GeoJournal 19 (1989), S. 437-446 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9893
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geography
    Notes: Abstract This paper argues that the process of establishing claims and control over resources, referred to as resource partitioning, structures frontier societies in ways which impede subsequent efforts at rural development. Conflicts over claims to resources create divisions among local elites which prevent the formation of coalitions to promote development. Struggles for control over the flow of resources out of a region cause regional development agencies to pursue transportation policies which retard development by isolating the region from all but one commercial center. A case study of resource partitioning and rural development efforts in the Ecuadorian Amazon illustrates the argument.
