Departures from Gibrat's Law, Discontinuities and City Size Distributions (2007, background): “The ratio of white to blue-collar workers and the capital– labour ratio exert a positive influence on productivity in most industries (Rigby and Essletzbichler, 2002).”
Who Benefits from Agglomeration? (2015, background): “RIGBY and ESSLETZBICHLER (2002) showed that flows of knowledge embodied in intermediate goods enhance the productivity of agglomerated plants, but that sheds little light on the role of disembodied information flows.”
Localized mobility clusters: impacts of labour market externalities on firm performance (2008, background): “Several other covariates, which are likely to be relevant for the modelling of productivity levels at workplaces, are also controlled for (see e.g. Haltiwanger et al, 1999; Rigby and Essletzbichler, 2002).”
California Dreamin’: The Feeble Case for Cluster Policies (2011, background): “Building on Dumais et al. (1997), this is what Rigby and Essletzbichler (2002) do.”
Evidence on the nature and sources of agglomeration economies (2004, background): “Rigby and Essletzbichler (2002) consider impacts of various proxies for microfoundations on productivity using micro data from the LRD.”
