Agglomeration spillovers and wage and housing cost gradients across the urban hierarchy (2009, background): “Yet, over significant ranges of distance the gradients are approximately linear.”
Pollution havens and industrial agglomeration (2006, background): “, Head and Mayer (2004). When δ ̸= 1, the HME is accompanied by the pollution effect, which is represented by the third and forth terms of (13) on the RHS.”
Regional Specialization, Urban Hierarchy, and Commuting Costs (2006, neutral): “Yet, economic geography has triggered a large number of empirical studies, surveyed in Head and Mayer (2004), which all deal with several sectors.”
Winners and Losers among a Refugee-Hosting Population (2014, methodology): “We followed Head and Mayer ð2004Þ in using α5 1, as the refugee index can be seen as a form of market potential.”
The Strategic Bombing of German Cities During World War Ii and its Impact on City Growth (2004, background): “The aiming points were usually right in the centre of the town . . . it was this densely built-up centre which was most susceptible to area attack with incendiary bombs ( Harris, 1947 ).”
Estimating agglomeration economies with history, geology and worker effects (2008, neutral): “There is by now a lot of evidence that the market potential of an area matters (Head and Mayer, 2004).”
Regional Wage and Employment Responses to Market Potential in the EU (2005, neutral): “If, on the other hand, wages in a region are increasing in demand in that region, then Head and Mayer (2004a) show that the magnification effect can be overturned. It also turns out that the share equation of Helpman and Krugman (1985) only applies in a two-country world.”
The Global Agglomeration of Multinational Firms (2014, background): “4. Technology diffusion A fourth motive relates to the diffusion of technologies. Technology can diffuse from one firm to another throughmovement of workers, interaction between those who perform similar jobs, or direct interaction between firms through technology sourcing. This has been noted by Na”
Adding geography to the new economic geography : bridging the gap between theory and empirics (2010, methodology): “…do this using the analytical insights obtained from stylized (but analytically solvable) NEG models that use a unidimensional geography structure (and mostly even the simplest two-region version of the underlying model); see for example Crozet (2004), Brakman et al. (2005) or Head and Mayer (2004).”
