Viewpoint: From Cities to Productivity and Growth in Developing Countries (2008, unknown): “The results of Au and Henderson (2006b) and Au and Henderson (2006a) about Chinese cities are also consistent with a mix of localization and urbanization economies.”
Roads, Railways and Decentralization of Chinese Cities (IGC Working Paper) (2012, unknown): “Third, migration restrictions across prefectures mean that a large share of rural migrants to central cities have come from surrounding hinterlands (Chan, 2001 and 2005 and Au and Henderson, 2006).”
Place-Based Policies, Creation, and Agglomeration Economies: Evidence from China’s Economic Zone Program (2019, background): “The terms on the right side of equation (5) represent, in the order of their inclusion, the within-firm effect, the between-firm effect, the cross-effect, and the net entry effect.”
The Identification of Agglomeration Economies (2011, background): “Empirically the relationship between urban scale and productivity appears to be log linear in most cases (Au and Henderson, 2006, for China is an exception).”
A meta-analysis of estimates of urban agglomeration economies (2009, background): “Au and Henderson (2006), for example, find that migration restrictions in China have resulted in many undersized cities and consequent losses in net output per worker.”
California Dreamin’: The Feeble Case for Cluster Policies (2011, background): “Direct evidence about net returns to size being bell-shaped is provided by Au and Henderson (2006) for Chinese cities.”
Skill Transferability, Migration, and Development: Evidence from Population Resettlement in Indonesia (2016, background): “Our study contributes to the literature on migration and the spatial (mis)allocation of labor in developing countries (Au and Henderson, 2006; Bryan, Chowdhury and Mobarak, 2014; Gollin, Lagakos and Waugh, 2014).”
Local officials as land developers: Urban spatial expansion in China (2009, background): “The initial stock of urban land is likely less than the long run equilibrium amount, as is characteristic of developing countries in general and China in particular, which is widely regarded as under-urbanized (Au and Henderson, 2006).”
Productive Cities: Sorting, Selection, and Agglomeration (2014, methodology): “These results are consistent with those of Au and Henderson ð2006Þ for Chinese shaped function of city population.”
