This paper studies the sources of agglomeration economies in cities. We begin by introducing a simple dynamic spatial … large, though there can be exceptions. Thus, dynamic agglomeration appears to be driven by cross-industry effects. Once we … control for these cross-industry agglomeration effects, we find a strong negative relationship between city size and city …

We examine how the spatial and social proximity of inventors affects knowledge flows, focusing especially on how the … two forms of proximity interact. We develop a knowledge flow production function (KFPF) as a flexible tool for modeling … access to knowledge and show that the optimal spatial concentration of socially proximate inventors in a city or nation …
