Estimating agglomeration economies with history, geology and worker effects (2008, neutral): “The stability of population patterns across cities over time is a well documented fact (see Duranton, 2007, for a recent discussion).”
Globalization and Local Profiles of Economic Growth and Industrial Change (2016, background): “However, there is no aggregate structural change at the national level in the model by Duranton (2007), and therefore it is not possible to distinguish whether particular regions develop along with, or against the national trend.”
Do New Economic Geography agglomeration shadows underlie current population dynamics across the urban hierarchy (2009, background): “This assumption follows Tabuchi and Thisse (2006) in a theoretical NEG framework, as well as empirical evidence that suggests that the urban hierarchy has been very stable over time (e.g., Eeckhout, 2004; Duranton, 2007).”
Productive Cities: Sorting, Selection, and Agglomeration (2014, methodology): “Equation (23) under δ = 0 enables us to characterise the optimal size of talent-homogenous cities.”
The Economic Performance of European Cities and City Regions: Myths and Realities (2013, background): “The economic theories underlying these findings are based on random growth distributions across size sizes (Gabaix, 1999a, 1999b; Duranton, 2007).”
Sequential city growth in the us: does age matter? (2013, neutral): “Moreover, Duranton (2007) points out that cities grow or decline following gains or losses of the industries.”
Viewpoint: From Cities to Productivity and Growth in Developing Countries (2008, positive): “See Duranton (2007) and Rossi-Hansberg and Wright (2007) for models in which technological shocks on the wage curve generate realistic distributions of city populations.”
Urban Economics and Entrepreneurship (2009, neutral): “Duranton and Gilles (2007) and Findeisen and Sudekum (2008) show that the size distribution of cities in a given country tends not to change much over time, and that the relative size of individual cities changes only very slowly.”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, background): “To do this one must first note that from the urban systems literature there are more or less ubiquitous features to the patterns of all spatial distributions, which are best captured by Zipf’s Law (DURANTON, 2007).”
