Productive Cities: Sorting, Selection, and Agglomeration (2014, unknown): “It is immediate from equation (5) that the own-price elasticity of demand is −(1+ε)/ε.”
Career Incentives of City Leaders and Urban Spatial Expansion in China (2020, background): “While increasing city size can bring about higher productivity (Duranton & Puga, 2014), it also leads to longer commuting times and traffic jams (Newman & Kenworthy, 1999; Kahn, 2000; Harari, 2018).”
Regional resilience across Europe: On urbanisation and the initial impact of the Great Recession (2015, unknown): “There is a large body of literature (see, for example, Duranton and Puga, 2014 or Glaeser and Kahn, 2004) in urban and regional economics, which links regional growth to the degree of regional urbanisation. Both the size of the population (agglomeration) and the specialisation pattern of a region ar”
Subsidy and networking: The effects of direct and indirect support programs of the cluster policy (2011, background): “However, to the best of our knowledge, there exist few empirical studies on the effects of cluster policies on the performance of local firms, whereas agglomeration theories derive a major implication that regional differences in agglomeration explain differences in regional industry structure and p”
Quality of government and regional resilience in the European Union. Evidence from the Great Recession (2019, background): “Regional and urban economics literature has considered that one of the key factors for economic development is the size of the population (agglomeration) and the level of urban development (Duranton and Puga, 2014).”
The Costs of Agglomeration: House and Land Prices in French Cities (2018, background): “This literature shows that January temperatures is a strong predictor of urban growth and thus of urban population in the long run (Duranton and Puga, 2014).”
Growing through Cities in Developing Countries (2014, background): “There is also evidence that more educated cities grow faster (see Duranton and Puga (2013) for a broader discussion of urban growth patterns).”
Cities and product variety: evidence from restaurants (2015, background): “…for using historic populations as an instrument is that this persistence in population is unrelated to current productivity (see the discussion in Duranton and Puga (2014), Section 5); I make a similar assumption that the persistence of both population and land area is not associated with…”
