Explaining the size distribution of cities: x-treme economies
Berliant, Marcus; Watanabe, Hiroki - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
We criticize the theories used to explain the size distribution of cities. They take an empirical fact and work backward to obtain assumptions on primitives. The induced theoretical assumptions on consumer behavior, particularly about their inability to insure against the city-level productivity...

REGIONAL POLICY AS CHANGE MANAGEMENT - a theoretical discussion with empirical illustrations
Andersson, Martin; Johansson, Börje - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2011
The paper focuses on challenges and potentials for policy in the presence of fundamental change processes that influence the long-term evolution of regions. The perspective in the paper implies that policy can be viewed as ‘management of change’. We present a conceptual model for...

A scale-free transportation network explains the city-size distribution
Berliant, Marcus; Watanabe, Hiroki - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
Zipf’s law is one of the best-known empirical regularities of the city-size distribution. There is extensive research on the subject, where each city is treated symmetrically in terms of the cost of transactions with other cities. Recent developments in network theory facilitate the...

The Sources of the Urban Wage Premium by Worker Skills
Andersson, Martin; Klaesson, Johan; Larsson, Johan P - Centre for Innovation, Research and Competence in the … - 2014
We estimate the respective importance of spatial sorting and agglomeration economies in explaining the urban wage … premium for workers with different sets of skills. Sorting is the main source of the wage premium. Agglomeration economies are … workers with routine jobs, agglomeration economies are virtually non-existent. Our results provide further evidence of spatial …
