The effects of agglomeration on wages: evidence from the micro-level
Fingleton, Bernard; Longhi, Simonetta - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2011
, namely New Economic Geography (NEG), as represented by the NEG wage equation and urban economic (UE) theory, in which wages … examine the issue of agglomeration processes associated with contemporary theory working with micro-level data, highlighting … wage levels are an outcome of the mechanisms suggested by NEG or UE theory, but this is not the case for female respondents …

An 'integrated' framework for the comparative analysis of the territorial innovation dynamics of developed and emerging countries
Crescenzi, Riccardo; Rodríguez-Pose, Andrés - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2012
This paper discusses recent developments in the literature on local and regional innovative performance to show how an ‘integrated’ conceptual framework based on the cross-fertilization of different theories can serve as a foundation for the comparative analysis of territorial innovation...

Public Debt and Economic Geography
Trionfetti, Federico - HAL - 2012
This paper studies the consequences of debt policies on the spatial distribution of output in a two-country model. It departs from the usual set up of local public finance by relaxing the assumption of balanced budget. Further, to single out the pure effect of debt the paper eliminates effects...

Agglomeration and the adjustment of the spatial economy
Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Overman, Henry G. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005
We consider the literatures on urban systems and New Economic Geography to examine questions concerning agglomeration and how areas respond to shocks to the economic environment. We first propose a diagrammatic framework to compare the two approaches. We then use this framework to study a number...

Enlargement and the EU Periphery: The Impact of Changing Market Potential
Brülhart, Marius; Crozet, Matthieu; Koenig, Pamina - HAL - 2004
We study the impact of changing relative market access in an enlarged EU on the economies of incumbent Objective 1 regions. First, we track the impact of external opening on internal spatial configurations in a three-region economic geography model. External opening gives rise to potentially...

Economic linkages across space
Overman, Henry G.; Rice, Patricia; Venables, Anthony J. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2007
We develop a diagrammatic framework that can be used to study the economic linkages between regions or cities. Hitherto, such linkages have not been the primary focus of either the theoretical or empirical literatures. We show that our general framework can be used to interpret both the New...

Mountains in a flat world: why proximity still matters for the location of economic activity
Rodríguez-Pose, Andrés; Crescenzi, Riccardo - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2008
Thomas Friedman (2005, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century. New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux) argues that the expansion of trade, the internationalization of firms, the galloping process of outsourcing and the possibility of networking are creating a ‘flat...

Spatial evolution of the US urban system
Ioannides, Yannis; Overman, Henry G. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2000
We test implications of economic geography models for location, size and growth of cities with US Census data for 1900 û 1990. Our tests involve non-parametric estimations of stochastic kernels for the distributions of city sizes and growth rates, conditional on various measures of market...

Zipf’s law for cities : an empirical examination
Ioannides, Yannis Menelaos; Overman, Henry G. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2003
We use data for metro areas in the United States, from the US Census for 1900 - 1990, to test the validity of Zipf's Law for cities. Previous investigations are restricted to regressions of log size against log rank. In contrast, we use a nonparametric procedure to calculate local Zipf exponents...
