Immigrant Entrepreneurs and Innovation in the U.S. High-Tech Sector
Brown, J. David - 2019
We estimate differences in innovation behavior between foreign versus U.S.-born entrepreneurs in high-tech industries … characteristics and innovation activities. We find uniformly higher rates of innovation in immigrant-owned firms for 15 of 16 … different innovation measures; the only exception is for copyright/trademark. The immigrant advantage holds for older firms as …

Immigration and Regional Specialization in AI
Hanson, Gordon H. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
I examine the specialization of US commuting zones in AI-related occupations over the 2000 to 2018 period. I define AI-related jobs based on keywords in Census occupational titles. Using the approach in Lin (2011) to identify new work, I measure job growth related to AI by weighting employment...

Urban Specialisation : from Sectoral to Functional
Gervais, Antoine; Markusen, James R.; Venables, Anthony - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
The comparative advantage of many cities is based on their efficiency in the production of 'functions', e.g., business services such as finance, law, engineering, or similar functions that are used by firms in a wide range of sectors. Firms that use these functions may choose to source them...

Regions, Resources, and Economic Geography : Sources of U.S. Regional Comparative Advantage, 1880-1987
Kim, Sukkoo - 1997
This paper estimates the Rybczynski equation matrix for the twenty two-digit U.S." manufacturing industries for various years between 1880 and 1987. As predicted by the standard" general equilibrium theory of interregional trade, the regression estimates show that a consistent" set of factor...

Interindustry R&D Spillovers, Rates Of Return, and Production In High-Tech Industries
Bernstein, Jeffrey I. - 1988
This paper presents estimates of the productivity and factor bias effects of interindustry R&D spillovers for five high-tech industries. Each industry is distinguished as a separate spillover source. The industries are each affected by R&D spillovers and are themselves spillover sources. Thus a...

Innovation Spillovers across U.S. Tech Clusters
Giroud, Xavier; Liu, Ernest; Müller, Holger M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
through their parent firms' networks of innovating plants. Cross-cluster innovation spillovers do not depend on the physical … physical distances. To rationalize these findings, and to inform policy, we develop a tractable model of spatial innovation … that features both within- and cross-cluster innovation spillovers. Based on our model, we derive a sufficient statistic …

Flattening the Curve : Pandemic-Induced Revaluation of Urban Real Estate
Gupta, Arpit; Mittal, Vrinda; Peeters, Jonas; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
We show that the COVID-19 pandemic brought house price and rent declines in city centers, and price and rent increases away from the center, thereby flattening the bid-rent curve in most U.S. metropolitan areas. Across MSAs, the flattening of the bid-rent curve is larger when working from home...

Housing Demand and Remote Work
Mondragon, John; Wieland, Johannes - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
What explains record U.S. house price growth since late 2019? We show that the shift to remote work explains over one half of the 23.8 percent national house price increase over this period. Using variation in remote work exposure across U.S. metropolitan areas we estimate that an additional...

Urban Growth Shadows
Cuberes, David; Desmet, Klaus; Rappaport, Jordan - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
Does a location's growth benefit or suffer from being geographically close to large economic centers? Spatial proximity may lead to competition and hurt growth, but it may also improve market access and enhance growth. Using data on U.S. counties and metro areas for the period 1840-2017, we...
