Why do cities differ so much in productivity? We document that most of the measured dispersion in productivity across … US cities is spurious and reflects granularity bias: idiosyncratic heterogeneity in plant-level productivity and size …

Consistent with theories, the persistence of productivity differentials is found to be positively correlated …, productivity convergence appears to be enhanced by human capital but deterred by government spending. …
