Economic Growth in a Cross-Section of Cities

Glaeser, Edward L. - 1995

We examine the relationship between urban characteristics in 1960 and urban growth (income and population) between 1960 and 1990. Our major findings are that income and population growth move together and both types of growth are (1) positively related to initial schooling, (2) negatively...

Regional Growth and Migration : A Japan-U.S. Comparison

Barro, Robert J. - 1992

Do poor economies grow faster than rich ones? This important economic question (which we call [beta]-convergence) is … of convergence in both countries: poor prefectures and states grow faster. We also find that there is intraregional as … well as interregional convergence. We analyze the cross sectional standard deviation across prefectures and states. We find …

On the Geographic Implications of Carbon Taxes

Conte, Bruno; Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

A unilateral carbon tax trades off the distortionary costs of taxation and the future gains from slowing down global warming. Because the cost is local and immediate, whereas the benefit is global and delayed, this tradeoff tends to be unfavorable to unilateral carbon taxes. We show that this...

Anticipating Climate Change Across the United States

Bilal, Adrien; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We evaluate how anticipation and adaptation shape the aggregate and local costs of climate change. We develop a dynamic spatial model of the U.S. economy and its 3,143 counties that features costly forward-looking migration and capital investment decisions. Recent methodological advances that...

Homeward Bound : How Migrants Seek Out Familiar Climates

Obolensky, Marguerite; Tabellini, Marco; Taylor, Charles A. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

This paper introduces the concept of "climate matching" as a driver of migration and establishes several new results. First, we show that climate strongly predicts the spatial distribution of immigrants in the US, both historically (1880) and more recently (2015), whereby movers select...

Government Debt and Capital Accumulation in an Era of Low Interest Rates

Mankiw, Nicholas Gregory - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

This essay discusses the reasons for and implications of the decline in real interest rates around the world over the past several decades. It suggests that the decline in interest rates is largely explicable from trends in saving, growth, and markups. In this environment, greater government...

Latent Heterogeneity in the Marginal Propensity to Consume

Lewis, Daniel J.; Melcangi, Davide; Pilossoph, Laura - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We estimate the unconditional distribution of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) using clustering regression applied to the 2008 economic stimulus payments. By deviating from the standard approach of estimating MPC heterogeneity using interactions with observables, we can recover the full...

Political Connections, Allocation of Stimulus Spending, and the Jobs Multiplier

Choi, Joonkyu; Penciakova, Veronika; Saffie, Felipe - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We study the role of firms' political influence on the effectiveness of government spending using ARRA as a laboratory. Through an IV approach, we show that a 10 percentage points increase in the share of politically connected spending lowers the job creation effect of stimulus by 33 percent at...
