Growth, Foreign Direct Investment and Urban Concentrations: Unbundling Spatial Lags
Poelhekke, Steven; Ploeg, Frederick Van der - CESifo - 2008
Cross-country regressions suggest that urbanization and FDI are important drivers of growth. However, it is not clear that primacy eventually hurts growth performance. Since it is tough to interpret cross-country growth regressions, we provide detailed evidence on the determinants of outward FDI...

The Pan-European Population Distribution Across Consistently Defined Functional Urban Areas
Schmidheiny, Kurt; Suedekum, Jens - CESifo - 2015
We analyze the first data set on consistently defined functional urban areas in Europe and compare the European to the US urban system. City sizes in Europe do not follow a power law: the largest cities are “too small” to follow Zipf’s law.

The Size Distribution across all "Cities": A Unifying Approach
Giesen, Kristian; Suedekum, Jens - CESifo - 2012
In this paper we show that the double Pareto lognormal (DPLN) parameterization provides an excellent fit to the overall US city size distribution, regardless of whether “cities” are administratively defined Census places or economically defined area clusters. We then consider an economic...

China's Pure Exporter Subsidies
Defever, Fabrice; Riaño, Alejandro - CESifo - 2012
One third of Chinese exporters sell more than ninety percent of their production abroad. We argue that this distinctive pattern is attributable to a wide range of subsidies that provide incentives to these “pure exporters.” We propose a heterogeneous-firm model in which firms exporting all...
