face=Arial>Richard J. Arnott, Distinguished Professor of
Economics at UCR, will discuss whether curbside parking should
be free. His talk will explore such issues as whether curbside
parking creates less space for traffic and increased traffic
congestion, subsidized parking in shopping centers and
parking's effects on downtown revitalization.

border=0>Economists argue that the market will operate
efficiently when prices reflect true scarcity values. Since
curbside parking is a scarce resource, efficiency suggests
parking should not be free. Moreover, increasing the amount of
curbside parking reduces the street space available for
traffic flow and increases traffic congestion – another
argument to charge for parking.<BR><BR>Dr. Richard J. Arnott,
Distinguished Professor of Economics at UCR, suggests that the
issue of charging for curbside parking isn’t that
straightforward. Among other issues that need to be examined
are the subsidization of parking in shopping centers, the
effects from searching for parking, the role parking plays in
the revitalization of downtowns and other urban areas, and
off-street parking policies. <BR><BR>Dr. Arnott, an
internationally known Professor of Economics at Boston
College, joined the UCR faculty this fall and also will help
lead major research activities at the Center for Sustainable
Suburban Development.<BR><BR>He is well known for his research
in urban economics and public finance, including work on urban
traffic congestion and transportation issues.<BR><BR>He
already is involved in a research project focusing on
forecasting transportation and land use in the Inland Empire
as part of a greater research project involving the same
subjects in metropolitan Los Angeles and Shanghai, China.
<BR><BR>Dr. Arnott also is collaborating with UCR’s College of
Engineering – Center for Environmental Research and Technology
on potential projects that include traffic safety in China and
the development of an integrated model for sustainable growth
within the Inland Empire.<BR><BR>He earned a bachelor’s degree
in Urban Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in 1969, Master of Arts degree in Economics at the University
of Toronto in 1971 and his Ph.D. in Economics from Yale
University in 1975. He was a professor at Queen’s University,
Kingston, Ontario, from 1975 to 1989, and had been at Boston
College since 1988.<BR><BR>His primary research interests
include urban economics, public finance and theory of
contracts and insurance. He is the author of numerous books,
monographs and articles.<BR><BR></FONT></SPAN><FONT
