Inside the Black Box of Regional Development - human capital, the creative class and tolerance (2008, background): “Other studies find that human capital is becoming more concentrated (Florida, 2002b; Berry and Glaeser, 2005), and there are reasons to believe that this division will continue, affecting not only regional growth levels, but also housing values (Shapiro, 2006; Gyourko et al., 2006).”
Skills in the city (2009, background): “The differences are smaller than are the differences in worker education across cities, which Berry and Glaeser (2005) argue are themselves not very large.”

Why Are Smart Cities Growing? Who Moves and Who Stays (2011, background): “…in a metropolitan area, measured as the share of the adult population with a college degree, is a strong predictor of future population growth.1 Berry and Glaeser (2005) also show that the share of the adult population with college degrees has increased more quickly in cities with higher…”
