Optimal Spatial Policies, Geography, and Sorting* (2018, positive): “(10)Other recent papers studying different spatial policies include Allen et al. (2015) who consider zoning restrictions within a city and Fajgelbaum and Schaal (2017) who consider transport network investments.”
The Geography of Development (2018, methodology): “The static spatial equilibrium resembles the one proposed in Allen and Arkolakis (2014), but with migration, local factors, a trade structure à la Eaton and Kortum (2002), and heterogeneous preferences as in Kline and Moretti (2014).(1) The dynamic model uses this structure and allows firms to inves”
