Implications of Alternate Policies on Welfare of Slum Dwellers : Evidence from Pune, India

In this paper we examine how slum dwellers value location-based amenities. In most developing country cities, residents living in slums have poor-quality dwellings and limited access to basic public services and amenities. Using data from Pune, India, we estimate the residential location choices of...

In most developing country cities, residents living in slums have poor-quality dwellings and limited access to basic public services and amenities. Using data from Pune, India, we estimate the residential location choices of slum dwellers, which are conditional on housing quality, neighborhood amenities, and community structure. We use these estimates to simulate the impact of alternate interventions on household welfare. We find that households derive benefits from housing quality and neighborhood amenities. While relocating households to the periphery has adverse consequences for household welfare, we show that households could be adequately compensated out of the increased tax revenue accruing from alternative uses of the vacated central land. 2012-03-30T07:29:05Z 2012-03-30T07:29:05Z 2008 Journal Article Journal of Urban Economics 00941190 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4656 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article India
