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 …

Global production sharing is determined by international cost differences and frictions related to the costs of unbundling stages spatially. The interaction between these forces depends on engineering details of the production process with two extremes being 'snakes' and 'spiders'. Snakes are...
