The Costs of Agglomeration: Land Prices in French Cities
Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Gobillon, Laurent - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012
We develop a new methodology to estimate the elasticity of urban costs with respect to city population using French land price data. Our preferred estimate, which handles a number of estimation concerns, stands at 0.041. Our approach also yields a number of intermediate outputs of independent...
