Dialects, Cultural Identity, and Economic Exchange (2012, methodology): “To overcome this problem, we estimate the gravity equation by means of a Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood (PPML) estimator with Eicker-White robust standard errors, as proposed by Santos-Silva and Tenreyro (2006).”
The Economic Impact of Social Ties: Evidence from German Reunification* (2011, positive): “…districts closest to the inner-German border did not immediately profit from the opening of the border (which is in line with a similar observation in Redding and Sturm (2008), that the population of West German cities close to the inner-German border grew relatively little between 1989 and 2002).”
A Century of Shocks: The Evolution of the German City Size Distribution 1925-1999 (2008, methodology): “Our data set allows us to look at the impactof these ‘quasi-natural experiments’ in a much more dynamic fashion than previous research on the same topic (Davis and Weinstein, 2002; Bosker et al., 2007; Redding and Sturm, 2005; Redding, Sturm, and Wolf, 2007).”
Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, methodology): “To account for these spatial dependencies we include a Harris-type market potential function which is computed as distance-weighted sum of the employment levels of all other regions (see for a similar approach, Redding and Sturm 2008).”
The rise and fall of spatial inequalities in France: a long-run perspective (2008, background): “We here follow the recent literature (Head and Mayer, 2004; Redding and Venables, 2004; Redding and Sturm, 2008) and assess the impact of market potential on spatial inequalities.”
History and Industry Location: Evidence from German Airports (2011, neutral): “Recent contributions to the empirical literature include Amiti and Cameron (2007), Davis and Weinstein (2003), Ellison and Glaeser (1997), Hanson (2004, 2005), Head and Mayer (2004b), Redding and Venables (2004), and Redding and Sturm (2008).”
The spatial effects of trade openness: a survey (2011, background): “One example is West Germany, whose border cities with East Germany experienced significantly slower population growth during the post-war period of German division, suggesting that the suppression of trade with Eastern Europe implied divergence of population trends across West German cities (Redding”
Looking for Multiple Equilibria When Geography Matters: German City Growth and the Wwii Shock (2005, background): “14 Redding and Sturm [15] find, however, evidence that supports the relevance of the FRG–GDR split for border regions”
Trade Integration, Market Size, and Industrialization: Evidence from China's National Trunk Highway System (2014, background): “Similar to the ndings in Redding and Sturm (2008), the apparent trade o¤between the two parameters that jointly determine the elasticity of trade to distance suggests that the latter is the binding parameter that governs the models prediction on the intensity of the e¤ects of a given trade cost sh”
