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 …

Autor, David H.; Patterson, Christina; Van Reenen, John - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

National industrial concentration in the U.S. has risen sharply since the early 1980s, but there remains dispute over whether local geographic concentration has followed a similar trend. Using near population data from the Economic Censuses, we confirm and extend existing evidence on national...

Housing Price Dynamics Within a Metropolitan Area

Case, Karl E. - 1995

This paper analyzes the pattern of cross-sectional house price appreciation in the Boston metropolitan area from 1982 to 1994. The empirical results are consistent with many of the predictions of a standard urban model in which towns have a fixed set of locational attributes and amenities. In...
