Abstract:
The article is devoted to one aspect of the problem of integrating the theory of urban economics into a general economic theory. This problem contains an important element in the form of a search for the general theoretical foundations of the laws governing the development of the urban economy. It is known that the urban economy in its development fully implements at its level all the basic laws of general economic theory. In the same way, the laws of urban economy have general economic theoretical foundations, which must be identified by the example of the theory of production of public goods. The main methods are methods of system analysis, induction and deduction.
The basic laws governing the production of public goods in the urban economy do not exist by themselves, but follow from the fundamental laws of general economic theory. This manifests itself starting with the Lindahl model. It is based on the Marshall model of partial market equilibrium, as well as on the basis of the Tiebout Hypothesis and the Median Voter Theorem. The law of diminishing marginal utility also defines many patterns of the urban economy. It fully defines, for example, Clark’s Tax model or Club Theory and is present in the same Median Voter Theorem.
The theory of the production of public goods in the urban economy has the largest number of theoretical laws that exist in the form of models determining their optimal volume. All these models are based on the most important general theoretical laws and, in fact, are variants of their manifestation. This, of course, contributes to the integration of urban economics into a general economic theory.
