Entrepreneurship in a Regional Context: Historical Roots, Recent Developments and Future Challenges (2014, background): “As GLAESER (2004) pointed out, the regional share of people in creative occupations is also highly correlated with a range of other indicators capturing the formal qualifications of the regional workforce.”
It Takes a Village (2008, background): “THE HUMAN CAPITAL THEORY OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Human capital theorists (Becker 1964; Glaeser 2005) argue that concentrations of educated individuals, along with training, will produce high levels of long term economic growth.”

Do Creative Industries Cluster? Mapping Creative Local Production Systems in Italy and Spain (2008, result): “Although limited in some degree (Glaeser, 2005), these studies are valuable, if nothing else because of the lively debate they promoted over the opposite positions for judgments over their approach (Hansen et al., 2005; Wojan et al., 2007).”
Is tolerance good or bad for growth? (2010, neutral): “…higher productivity that it gives rise is to, are central for population and productivity growth in U.S. cities, hence implying that tolerance and an ability to attract creative individuals are not that central— see Glaeser et al.
