Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper analyses the impact of informatics development on the urban residential‐location, consumption and working‐hour‐allocation behaviour of the coining information‐oriented society. The analysis focuses on the repercussions through the interaction of the land and labour markets. The labour market is spatially separated into the ‘home work’ market in the city suburbs and the ‘office work’ market in the CBD. But, these work places are tightly connected with each other by highly developed communication technology. The time‐allocation as well as money‐expenditure constraint is systematically built up on a traditional residential location model of the von Thunen‐Alonso type. The wage rates and the bid rent function for the land are both solutions of the equilibrium model of land and labour markets. The impacts are examined using the comparative statics analyses which have been developed for the economic‐agent equilibrium conditions of the firm and household.
