dc.description.abstract	There are several determinants that influence household location decisions and, consequently, the growth of the cities. More concretely, recent economic literature assigns an increasingly important role to the variables governing quality of life. In the theoretical background of many of these works, it is usually assumed free migration across cities, what implies a spatial equilibrium. In this line, the spatial stationarity of the parameters is implicitly assumed in most studies. Here we analyse the role of quality of life in urban economics and test for the spatial stationarity of the relationship between city growth and quality of life in a local framework, Barcelona (Spain).	en
dc.description.abstract	Die Entscheidung für den Standort von Haushalten wird von mehreren Determinanten beeinflusst. Insbesondere wird in der aktuellen Wirtschaftsliteratur den für die Lebensqualität ausschlaggebenden Variablen ein zunehmend hoher Stellenwert eingeräumt. Allerdings wird in den meisten Studien für diese Parameter implizit eine räumliche Unveränderlichkeit angenommen. In diesem Beitrag analysieren wir die Rolle der Lebensqualität in der Ökonomie von Städten und überprüfen die räumliche Unveränderlichkeit der Beziehung zwischen Stadtwachstum und Lebensqualität.	de
