Agglomeration : A Dynamic Approach
Hanlon, William Walker - 2015
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 …

Delineating Urban Areas Using Building Density
de Bellefon, Marie-Pierre - 2019
We develop a new dartboard methodology to delineate urban areas using detailed information about building location, which we implement using a map of all buildings in France. For each pixel, our approach compares actual building density after smoothing to counterfactual smoothed building density...
