Stolper-Samuelson Is Dead: And Other Crimes of Both Theory and Data (2007, background): “More recent empirical work includes Redding and Venables (2004), Hanson and Xiang (2004), and Davis and Weinstein (2004). activities is crucial to the productivity in this outsourcing, then there will have to be both winners and losers.”
The Economics of Density: Evidence from the Berlin Wall (2012, background): “Finally, we can solve for the density of development (φi) from the requirement that the implied demands for commercial and residential land equal the effective supply of land in land market clearing (14).”
Growth in a Cross-section of Cities: Location, Increasing Returns or Random Growth? (2015, unknown): “While there are many studies of each of these theories, the literature on alternative approaches is scant; only Davis & Weinstein (2002, 2008) and Bloom et al. (2003) adopt such a broad perspective.”
The Identification of Agglomeration Economies (2011, background): “Davis and Weinstein (2008) use the exogeneity of the bombing of Japanese cities to search for multiple equilibria in urban structure.”
Locomotives of Local Growth: The Short- and Long-Term Impact of Railroads in Sweden (2017, background): “…contributes to an emerging literature on long-term urban development, path dependence, and the persistence of spatial equilibria (Davis and Weinstein 2002; Bosker et al. 2007; Redding and Sturm 2008; Davis and Weinstein 2008; Miguel and Roland 2011; Redding et al. 2011; Bleakley and Lin 2012).”
Estimating agglomeration economies with history, geology and worker effects (2008, unknown): “For instance, Davis and Weinstein (2008) estimate the effects of the US bombing of Japanese cities during World War II on their specialisation to provide some evidence about multiple equilibria.”
The empirics of new economic geography (2010, unknown): “…the devastation caused by the Second World War, and Miguel and Roland (2006) find little evidence of permanent effects from the large-scale bombing of Vietnam.13 The empirical findings of Davis and Weinstein (2002, 2008) leave the empirical economic geography literature with something of a puzzle.”
History and Industry Location: Evidence from German Airports (2011, unknown): “With the exception of Germany, the location of a country’s largest airport shows remarkable stability between the period prior to World War II and today.”
A Century of Shocks: The Evolution of the German City Size Distribution 1925-1999 (2008, unknown): “Drawing on the methodology developed by Davis and Weinstein (2002, 2004) , these papers argue that the destruction during WWII was largely exogenous to the level of economic activity in cities and use the level of destruction during WWII as instruments for population growth during WWII when estimat”
DISASTER IMPACT AND INPUT–OUTPUT ANALYSIS (2014, background): “Gerking (1976) asserted that a deterministic model forecast needs to be supplemented with uncertainty analysis because ‘to contend that this forecast will come true with certainty is optimism to a fault’, and this could not be more true to disaster impact analysis.”
The Permanent Effects of Transportation Revolutions in Poor Countries: Evidence from Africa (2016, unknown): “If geographical factors are the main drivers, any localized historical shock will only temporarily affect the distribution (Davis & Weinstein, 2002, 2008; Miguel & Roland, 2011).”
Trade and the Topography of the Spatial Economy (2014, background): “While there has been much empirical work examining the implication of space for the allocation of agents (Davis and Weinstein 2002, 2008) and wages (Hanson 2005; Breinlich 2006; Head and Mayer 2006; Amiti and Cameron 2007), there 2Unlike Rossi-Hansberg (2005), we restrict such spillovers to be…”
