Unravelling urban advantages : a meta-analysis of agglomeration economies

Donovan, Stuart; Graaff, Thomas de; Groot, Henri L. F. de; … - 2021

A large body of literature considers the productive advantages of cities, or "agglomeration economies". Most empirical studies report positive agglomeration economies, although large variation exists in the magnitude of estimates. We use a meta-analysis to explore this variation, drawing on...

Rapid urbanization could have positive and negative health effects, such that the net impact on population health is … China’s unprecedented urbanization. We construct an index of urbanicity from a broad set of community characteristics and … define urbanization in terms of movements across the distribution of this index. We use difference-in-differences estimators …

Welfare benefits of agglomeration and worker heterogeneity

Teulings, Coen N.; Ossokina, Ioulia V.; Groot, Henri L. … - 2014

The direct impact of local public goods on welfare is relatively easy to measure from land rents. However, the indirect effects on home and job location, on land use, and on agglomeration benefits are hard to pin down. We develop a spatial general equilibrium model for the valuation of these...

Search and the city

Teulings, Coen N.; Gautier, Pieter - 2002

We develop a model of an economy with several regions, which differ in scale. Within each region, workers have to search for a job-type that matches their skill. They face a trade-off between match quality and the cost of extended search. This trade-off differs between regions, because search is...

Agglomeration, innovation and regional development : theoretical perspectives and meta-analysis

Groot, Henri L. F. de; Poot, Jacques; Smit, Martijn J. - 2007

Innovation and technological change are central to the quest for regional development. In the globally-connected knowledge-driven economy, the relevance of agglomeration forces that rely on proximity continues to increase, paradoxically despite declining real costs of information, communication...

Agglomeration externalities and localized employment growth

Vor, Friso de; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2008

This paper addresses the question to what extent the performance of industrial sites is affected by their local economic structure and accessibility. For this aim, we test for the existence of statistically significant relationships between agglomeration externalities (specialization, diversity,...

Regional wage differences in the Netherlands : micro-evidence on agglomeration externalities

Groot, Stefan P. T.; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Smit, Martijn - 2011

Based on micro-data on individual workers for the period 2000-2005, we show that wage differentials in the Netherlands are small but present. A large part of these differentials can be attributed to individual characteristics of workers. Remaining effects are partially explained by variations in...
