Urban Economics and Entrepreneurship (2009, neutral): “Fallick et al. (2006) and Freedman (2008) consider the relationship between agglomeration and job hopping.”
Sketching Out a Model of Innovation, Face-to-face Interaction and Economic Geography (2007, methodology): “The emphasis of these approaches is therefore on the specifically local factors which stimulate and enable novel developments (Chinitz, 1961; Duranton & Puga, 2001) while also facilitating the selection of those with real competitive potential (Porter, 1990).”
Cities and National Economic Growth: A Reappraisal (2005, positive): “Duranton and Puga (2001) have shown that firms will be drawn to different city sizes at different points in the product life-cycle.”
Evolutionary agglomeration theory: increasing returns, diminishing returns, and the industry life cycle (2011, background): “Similarly, many economists have also begun to incorporate industry life cycle theories into their economic models to explain the development of cities and regions (Brezis and Krugman, 1997; Duranton and Puga, 2001).”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, background): “…thirdly, entrepreneurship and innovation tends to be higher in regions that are less dominated by a small number of large firms (CHINITZ, 1961; DURANTON and PUGA, 2001); fourthly, entrepreneurship and innovation tends to be higher in regions with large numbers of multinational companies which…”
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND URBAN CONCENTRATIONS: UNBUNDLING SPATIAL LAGS a (2009, positive): “Duranton and Puga (2001) model this idea and find strong evidence of this pattern for establishment relocation within France.”
Regional inequality in Europe: evidence, theory and policy implications (2019, positive): “We maintain that economic development policy should be both sensitive to the need for agglomeration and the need for it to occur in as many places as possible, because agglomeration can maximize the total future innovation output of the economy in the aggregate (Duranton and Puga, 2001).”
Cities, Territories, and Inclusive Growth: Unraveling Urban–Rural Linkages in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico (2015, methodology): “The choice of an open-ended approach for the empirical strategy, rather than the structural models proposed by other authors (Camagni et al. , 2013; Duranton & Puga, 2001; Henderson, 1974) is justiﬁed by the kind of externalities our work tries to explain and the limitations these urban economics…”
Growing through Cities in Developing Countries (2014, background): “For process innovation, Duranton and Puga (2001) underscore the greater availability of intermediate goods in large cities, which allows firms to proceed through trial and error at a faster pace.”
