• The divergence of human capital levels across cities (2005, unknown): “This relationship is also robust to following Moretti (2004) and using colleges per capita in 1940 as an instrument for initial skill levels.”
• Local labor force education, new business characteristics, and firm performance (2010, unknown): “For example, both Rauch (1993), Moretti (2004a) separately consider the effects of individual and aggregate education levels.”
• Beyond Private Gain: The Public Benefits of Higher Education (2007, unknown): “Similar results are reported in Moretti (2004), who uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to control for unobserved heterogeneity among workers and locations as well.”
• Human Capital and Regional Development (2013, unknown): “…been shown to be important in a variety of development and regional contexts (Rauch 1993, Glaeser, Scheinkman and Shleifer 1995, Angrist and Acemoglu 2000, Glaeser and Mare 2001, Moretti 2004, Iranzo and Peri 2009), although Ciccone and Peri (2006) and Caselli (2005) find them to be unimportant.”
• Leverage and asset prices: An experiment (2012, unknown): “…to be more innovative, have greater amounts of economic activity, and faster economic growth; and workers in these places are more productive and earn higher wages (Abel and Gabe, 2011; Carlino, Chaterjee, and Hunt, 2007; Moretti, 2004; Glaeser, Scheinkman, and Shleifer, 1995; and Rauch, 1993).”
• Local Labor Markets (2010, unknown): “Using estimates of establishment–level production functions, Moretti (2004a) shows that manufacturing plants are significantly more productive in cities with higher human capital, holding constant individual plant human capital.”
• INEQUALITY IN CITIES (2009, unknown): “Historical skill patterns also play a huge role in the current location of college graduates (Moretti, 2004), and explain much of the distribution of skills across space.”
• What is Different About Urbanization in Rich and Poor Countries? Cities in Brazil, China, India and the United States (2017, unknown): “We also follow Moretti (2004) and use the demographic structure of the city as an instrument for education in the second panel of the table.”

• The effect of college location on migration of college-educated labor (2004, unknown): “First, evidence from cities suggests that the overall education level of an area increases the wages of all workers in the area (Moretti, 2003) and contributes to economic growth (Glaeser et al.”
• The local innovation spillovers of listed firms (2021, unknown): “…on a proxy for the stock of knowledge available such as the stock of R&D (e.g. Peri, 2005), the supply of college graduates (e.g. Rauch, 1993; Moretti, 2004), population density (e.g. Ciccone and Hall, 1996) or firm density (e.g. Greenstone, Hornbeck, and Moretti, 2010; Guiso and Schivardi,…”
