• The spatial sorting and matching of skills and firms (2009, positive): “At the same time, according to Glaeser and Mare (2001) and Moretti (2004), skilled workers should be expected to be found disproportionately in big cities.”
• Agglomeration, accessibility and productivity: Evidence for large metropolitan areas in the US (2017, methodology): “To instrument human capital, we follow Moretti (2004a) who used a deep time lag for the presence of colleges and universities as created in the 19th century by The Land Grant Movement.”
• Urban Vibrancy and Corporate Growth (2015, positive): “…effect (e.g., using Dow to explain K-Mart’s investment rate) is more than half as large 2For discussion of each type of spillover, respectively, see Moretti (2003), Jaffe, Trajtenberg, and Henderson (1993), and Glaeser, Kolko, and Saiz (2001). as the industry effect (e.g., using Wal-mart to…”
• Evidence on the nature and sources of agglomeration economies (2004, background): “Since this literature is also the subject of another chapter [Moretti (2004)], our goal will be simply to characterize how the human capital literature relates to the microfoundations of agglomeration economies.”
• Place-Based Policies and Spatial Disparities across European Cities (2020, positive): “That is, we see increased sorting of the more educated population consistent with US evidence (Moretti 2004; Berry and Glaeser, 2005).”
• Urbanization, productivity, and innovation: Evidence from investment in higher education (2009, methodology): “This line of research is reviewed by Moretti (2004).”
• What Can Be Learned from Spatial Economics? (2019, positive): “Thus, like in endogenous growth theory, everything seems to work as if the marginal productivity of a skilled worker would increase with the number of skilled workers around him (Moretti 2004, Glaeser and Resseger 2010).”
