The long-run impact of human capital on innovation and economic development in the regions of Europe (2018, background): “For example, Simon and Nardinelli (2002) consider the city level in the US between the years 1900 and 1990.”
Communication externalities in cities (2003, unknown): “replicated many times (e.g., Adsera, 2000, Simon and Nardinelli, 2002, etc).”
Cities, Skills and Regional Change (2014, unknown): “While SIMON and NARDINELLI (2002) documented a connection between skilled occupations and area growth since 1880, the present authors do not find much of a relationship between the share of the population with college degrees in 1940 and growth before 1900.”
The Rise of the Skilled City (2003, unknown): “For more than a century, in both the United States and Great Britain, cities with more educated residents have grown faster than comparable cities with less human capital (Glaeser, 1994, Glaeser et al. 1995, Simon, 1998, Black and Henderson, 1999, Nardinelli and Simon, 1996, 2002).”
Globalization and Local Profiles of Economic Growth and Industrial Change (2016, background): “Several studies have found a robust positive correlation between 28 the initial employment shares of college educated workers and subsequent local employment/population growth (Simon 2004, 1998; Simon and Nardinelli 2002; Suedekum 2008).”
What is Different About Urbanization in Rich and Poor Countries? Cities in Brazil, China, India and the United States (2017, unknown): “…and Saiz, 2004; Shapiro, 2006) has shown that this correlation persists for more recent periods, and that skills also predict the growth of income at the local level within the U.S. Simon and Nardinelli (2002) show that 19th century skills predict growth over the next century within the U.S.”
Growth, development, and innovation: A look backward and forward (2003, result): “Drennan (1999, 2002) has found in the US that high levels of human capital, represented by college or university attainment, promote stronger economies, corroborating research by Simon and Nardelli (2002) .”
The Growth of Cities (2013, unknown): “More recent work (e.g., Simon and Nardinelli, 2002, Glaeser and Saiz, 2004) prefers the share of university graduates since this more discriminant measure of human capital is usually associated with stronger effects.”
Location determinants of high-growth firms (2015, background): “…educational attainment of the local workforce to entrepreneurial activity (see Audretsch, Hülsbeck, and Lehmann 2012) and regional growth in general (Simon and Nardinelli 2002), and to the extent that the workforce is drawn from the local population it represents a local return on investment…”
