This paper estimates the relationship between agglomeration and multi factor productivity at the one digit industry … the level of local industries or enterprises. We obtain a cross-sectional agglomeration elasticity of 0.171, which falls … all industries is not a valid assumption. While cross-sectional estimates may overstate the true impact of agglomeration …

Firms are more productive on average in larger cities. Two explanations have been offered: agglomeration economies … selection model and a standard model of agglomeration. Stronger selection in larger cities left truncates the productivity … distribution whereas stronger agglomeration right shifts and dilates the distribution. We assess the relative importance of …

This paper develops a quantitative model of city structure to separate agglomeration forces, dispersion forces and …

agglomeration economies. This paper provides a microeconomically founded model of vertical city differentiation in which the latter … two mechanisms (`agglomeration' and `selection') operate simultaneously. Our model is both rich and tractable enough to …

This paper investigates agglomeration economies in an annual panel of NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 city regions across France … over time. We uncover evidence of long run agglomeration effects of around 6% for NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 city regions for the …

Many prior treatments of agglomeration either explicitly or implicitly suppose that all industries agglomerate for the … approach is the extrapolation of the agglomeration experience of one key sector or cluster to the larger economy. Another is … the pooling of data to look at common tendencies in agglomeration. This paper uses UK establishment level data on …
