How Migration Restrictions Limit Agglomeration and Productivity in China (2006, unknown): “Simple economic geography claims on the importance of being on the coast (Rappaport and Sachs (2002)) tend to ignore the role of historical factors, such as population accumulation near the coast.”
The United States as a Coastal Nation (2003, background): “Observed persistent US local population and employment ¯ows suggest that economic density adjusts only very slowly towards its steady-state level (Rappaport, 2000a).”
Spatial distribution of economic activities in Japan and China (2004, background): “Following Rappaport (2000), in any period we could think of the gap between urban and rural welfare for a typical urban versus rural resident as being equalized for the”
When are Cities Engines of Growth in China? Spread and Backwash Effects across the Urban Hierarchy (2013, methodology): “Thus, a spatial equilibrium approach is applied due to its flexibility in allowing many firm and household factors to influence outcomes in a general equilibrium framework (ROBACK, 1982; GREENWOOD et al., 1991; RAPPAPORT, 2004, 2007; GLAESER, 2007).”
Riding the Wave of Urban Growth in the Countryside: Spread, Backwash, or Stagnation? (2007, background): “Because broad economic conditions may affect location patterns through commuting (Renkow 2003), we also include the (inverse) distance-weighted average industry-mix growth rate from nearby CCSs.”
Did Highways Cause Suburbanization (2007, unknown): “This evidence is consistent with Rappaport [2004], who shows through simulation that even small migration frictions can mean it takes many years for an equilibrium with new residential locations across metropolitan areas to take hold.”
The Growth of Cities (2013, unknown): “In the United States for instance, it is possible that hot summers deterred population growth before the development of air-conditioning but promoted 53Such autoregressive processes are important in this context given the strong persistence of population shocks (Rappaport, 2004).”
