California Dreamin’: The Feeble Case for Cluster Policies (2011, background): “Nonetheless, the findings are generally not supportive of strong clustering effects on innovation (see Duranton and Puga, 2000, for a review).”
Missing Elements in the Analysis of Agglomeration Economies (2002, background): “It is true, of course, that among urban concentrations, the degree of scope (diversity) and size is closely related (Duranton and Puga 2000; Quigley 1998).”
Agglomeration, inequality and economic growth (2014, background): “In developed countries, where institutions are relatively good, economic growth can be based on a different urban system.14 In fact, as Duranton and Puga (2000) argue, what matters is the efficiency of the overall “system of cities” and “there appears to be a need for both large and diversified…”
Smart Cafe Cities: Testing human capital externalities in the Boston metropolitan area (2007, background): “Examples would be business services and consumption amenities, labor market matching and shopping districts, and unemployment insurance in a diverse labor market (Quigley, 1998; Duranton and Puga, 2000).”
Departures from Gibrat's Law, Discontinuities and City Size Distributions (2007, background): “…this phenomenon, as larger cities tend to grow at a slower pace (Dobkins and Ioannides, 2001), which may be indicative of cities growing faster when their market potential is large relative to their size, but that growth slows as a city’s size nears a critical threshold (Duranton and Puga, 2000).”
Labor Pooling, Labor Poaching and Spatial Clustering (2006, neutral): “This type of model has received a lot of attention in the recent past and we shall not discuss it further (see Ottaviano and Puga, 1998, for a survey of the regional literature and Duranton and Puga, 2000, for a review of its urban counterpart).”
The determinants of regional specialisation in business services: agglomeration economies, vertical linkages and innovation (2015, background): “– Jacobs’ externalities deriving from the variety of activities within urban contexts (Jacobs, 1969; Duranton and Puga, 2000; Duranton and Puga, 2005).”
The Growth of Cities (2013, neutral): “In particular, Duranton et al. (2013) develop a framework where more highways to enter or exit a city make it cheaper to export heavier goods which are more sensitive to the provision of roadway.”
