These smart cities typically seek to connect the physical infrastructure of the city to a broader virtual infrastructure that enables the collection, integration, analysis, and utility of detailed operational data to improve local decisionmaking (Harrison et al., 2010). Smart city initiatives have involved a wide array of projects, includ- ing those focused on mobility, water management, and electricity delivery (Appio, Lima, and Paroutis, 2019). As these developments progress, both urban planners and city leaders have sought to facilitate the inclusion of local community members (Albino, Berardi, and Dangelico, 2015). By providing local citizens with access to public information, C O R P O R A T I O N the breadth of which is rapidly expanding because of in individual siloes of information (Zuiderwijk, Janssen, and increased deployment of ICTs, city leaders can promote Davis, 2014).

  • Multipliers and the Lechatelier Principle by Paul Milgrom January 2005
    Multipliers and the LeChatelier Principle by Paul Milgrom January 2005 1. Introduction Those studying modern economies often puzzle about how small causes are amplified to cause disproportionately large effects. A leading example that emerged even before Samuelson began his professional career is the Keynesian multiplier, according to which a small increase in government spending can have a much larger effect on economic output. Before Samuelson’s LeChatelier principle, however, and the subsequent research that it inspired, the ways that multipliers arise in the economy had remained obscure. In Samuelson’s original formulation, the LeChatelier principle is a theorem of demand theory. It holds that, under certain conditions, fixing a consumer’s consumption of a good X reduces the elasticity of the consumer’s compensated demand for any other good Y. If there are multiple other goods, X1 through XN, then fixing each additional good further reduces the elasticity. When this conclusion applies, it can be significant both for economic policy and for guiding empirical work. On the policy side, for example, the principle tells us that in a wartime economy, with some goods rationed, the compensated demand for other goods will become less responsive to price changes. That changes the balance between the distributive and efficiency consequences of price changes, possibly favoring the choice of non-price instruments to manage wartime demand. For empirical researchers, the same principle suggests caution in interpreting certain demand studies. For example, empirical studies of consumers’ short-run responses to a gasoline price increase may underestimate their long response, since over the long 1 run more consumers will be free to change choices about other economic decisions, such as the car models they drive, commute-sharing arrangements, uses of public transportation, and so on.
