Global networks, local specialisation and regional patterns of innovation (2020, background): “9 operating in the same sector of economic activity facilitate knowledge diffusion through well-known mechanisms such as shared suppliers, labour pooling and technological spillovers (Duranton and Puga, 2004; Rosenthal and Strange, 2004).”
The mechanisms of agglomeration: Evidence from the effect of inter-industry relations on the location of new firms (2011, background): “2 Duranton and Puga (2004) provide an alternative, more theoretically driven, classification.”
Agents of Structural Change: The Role of Firms and Entrepreneurs in Regional Diversification (2018, background): “The underlying cumulative causation processes, like the self-reinforcing agglomeration tendencies of skilled workers with firms that require their skills and of specialized suppliers with their customers, are well-documented in the agglomeration literature (Duranton and Puga 2004).”
Productive Cities: Sorting, Selection, and Agglomeration (2014, methodology): “To see this, we use equations (24), (25), and (41) to compute an estimate of the indirect utility (consumption) loss: ∆̂EV ≡ EV (L̂ ∗)− EV (L̂) EV (L̂o)”
Evaluating Urban Transport Improvements: Cost–Benefit Analysis in the Presence of Agglomeration and Income Taxation (2004, positive): “4 For simplicity we do not model the exact mechanism that generates these increasing returns; a number of possible micro foundations of such a relationship are set out in Duranton and Puga (2004). We assume that firms are perfectly competitive and use no inputs other than labour,5 so x(N) is the wag”
Why do regions develop and change?: the challenge for geography and economics (2011, background): “the pooling of resources (Duranton and Puga, 2004).”
Is Terrorism Eroding Agglomeration Economies in Central Business Districts? Lessons from the Office Real Estate Market in Downtown Chicago (2008, neutral): “5 Duranton and Puga (2004) and Rosenthal and Strange (2004) provide recent reviews of the theoretical and empirical literature on agglomeration economies.”
The spatial sorting and matching of skills and firms (2009, neutral): “The models of Henderson (1974) and Duranton and Puga (2004), among others, provide microfoundations for these externalities.”
The Impact of Weather Anomalies on Migration in sub-Saharan Africa (2012, background): “While the first part of w reflects the total number of workers active in the urban sector, the second part stands for a Marshallian externality on productivity that arises from labor sharing, input–output linkages or information [26].”
Agglomeration and the adjustment of the spatial economy (2005, background): “Finally, learning mechanisms aim to show how more frequent direct interactions between economic agents in denser environments favour the creation, diffusion and accumulation of knowledge (Duranton and Puga 2004).”
