Viewpoint: From Cities to Productivity and Growth in Developing Countries (2008, unknown): “There is strong evidence of a positive association between unstable and undemocratic regimes and urban primacy (Ades and Glaeser 1995; Davis and Henderson 2003).”
Urbanization with and without industrialization (2015, background): “If the government adopts urban-biased policies, urban wages increase (Ades and Glaeser 1995; Davis and Henderson 2003; Henderson 2003).”
Urbanization and Growth (2005, methodology): “Davis and Henderson (2003) explore these ideas further, examining in a panel context the impact upon primacy of democratization and fiscal decentralization from 1960-1995.”
Urbanization and city growth: The role of institutions (2007, methodology): “We did transition analysis, following Dobkins and Ioannides (2001), Eaton and Eckstein (1997), and Black and Henderson (2003), dividing the size distribution into 5 cells in 1960 containing approximately 35%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 10% of all cities starting from the bottom, with fixed relative cell cut-”
Climatic Factors as Determinants of International Migration (2015, unknown): “We account for the traditional determinants of the urbanization process identified in the empirical literature (see for example Davis and Henderson, 2003).”
Economic growth, size of the agricultural sector, and urbanization in Africa (2011, unknown): “Attempts have been made to address this simultaneity problem by using lagged variables as instruments in a panel fixed effects estimation framework, see Davis and Henderson (2003).”
The Urbanization Process and Economic Growth: The So-What Question (2003, background): “If that country were to increase either its road density or its waterway density by one standard deviation, that would lower primacy by .02 in Davis and Henderson (2002).”
Malthus living in a slum: Urban concentration, infrastructures and economic growth (2017, unknown): “…Quintana and Royuela 2014) as well as to the growing empirical evidence of urban processes in developing countries not necessarily linked to economic development (Firebaugh 1979; Ades and Glaeser 1995; Davis and Henderson 2003; Bloom et al. 2008; Behrens and Pholo-Bala 2013; Gollin et al. 2014).”
Trivariate Causality between Economic Growth, Urbanisation and Electricity Consumption in Angola: Cointegration and Causality Analysis (2013, background): “Economic growth may in turn also affect either electricity consumption or urbanisation (see Abdel-Rahman et al. 2006; Davis and Henderson, 2003; Liu, 2009; Shahbaz and Lean, 2012a).”
Cities in Developing Countries: Fueled by Rural–Urban Migration, Lacking in Tenure Security, and Short of Affordable Housing (2015, background): “…studies, including Rosen and Resnick (1980), Wheaton and Shishido (1981), Ades and Glaeser (1995), Mutlu (1989), Moomaw and Shatter (1996), Davis and Henderson (2003), Henderson and Wang (2007), and Barrios, Bertinelli and Strobl (2006), follow a similar approach by relating urbanization…”
