The Growth of Cities (2013, positive): “The large contribution of agglomeration to aggregate growth is also consistent with results from the human capital literature, which typically finds that external returns to human capital in cities are of about the same magnitude as private returns (e.g., Moretti, 2004a).”
Agglomeration and productivity: evidence from firm-level data (2011, methodology): “ Moretti (2004) focuses on the education-level of the employees in the region, whereas Henderson (2003) focuses on the number of other firms in the same industry in the region as a source of spillover effects.”
Cultural Diversity and Plant‐Level Productivity (2015, methodology): “In contrast to Moretti (2004), however, we also aim to identify within-plant externalities, since we want to explore if plant-level productivity is affected mainly by cultural diversity at the micro or the aggregate level.”
Learning Job Skills from Colleagues at Work: Evidence from a Field Experiment Using Teacher Performance Data (2016, background): “For example, Mas and Moretti (2009) find that low-performing grocery check-out clerks increase their work effort when a higher-performing peer works at the same time and can observe the low-performer’s effort; but”
Identifying Agglomeration Spillovers: Evidence from Million Dollar Plants (2008, positive): “Moretti (2004b) finds stronger human capital spillovers between pairs of firms in the same city that are economically or technologically closer.”
The Economic Consequences of 'Brain Drain' of the Best and Brightest: Microeconomic Evidence from Five Countries (2010, neutral): “externalities, Moretti (2004) estimates that human capital spillovers in the US were responsible for only 0.”
Are Exporters More Likely to Introduce Product Innovations (2012, positive): “Moretti, 2004). All variables are deflated with the appropriate 3-digit production price index (ISTAT). Source: SIMF, 8th wave. Unit of measurement: thousands of 2000’s euros. Unit labor costs. Unit labor costs in 2000 (and 1998) are computed as the ratio between total real labor costs and real prod”
History, Path Dependence and Development: Evidence from Colonial Railroads, Settlers and Cities in Kenya (2017, neutral): “Yet the colonial cities persisted.”
The Economic Value of Opportunity Youth (2012, background): “See respectively Card (1999), Lochner and Moretti (2004), Cutler and Lleras-Muney (2010) and Waldfogel et al. (2007).”
