The Productivity Advantages of Large Cities : Distinguishing Agglomeration from Firm Selection
Combes, Pierre-Philippe - 2012
cities toughen competition, allowing only the most productive to survive) and agglomeration economies (larger cities promote … a generalised version of a tractable firm selection model and a standard model of agglomeration. Stronger selection in … larger cities left-truncates the productivity distribution whereas stronger agglomeration right-shifts and dilates the …

The production function for housing : evidence from France
Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Gobillon, Laurent - 2016
We propose a new nonparametric approach to estimate the production function for housing. Our estimation treats output as a latent variable and relies on the first-order condition for profit maximisation with respect to non-land inputs by competitive house builders. For parcels of a given size,...

The Production Function for Housing : Evidence from France
Combes, Pierre-Philippe - 2017
We propose a new nonparametric approach to estimate the production function for housing. Our estimation treats output as a latent variable and relies on the first order condition for profit maximisation with respect to nonland inputs by competitive house builders. For parcels of a given size, we...

The Costs of Agglomeration : Land Prices in French Cities
Combes, Pierre-Philippe - 2012
We develop a new methodology to estimate the elasticity of urban costs with respect to city population using French land price data. Our preferred estimate, which handles a number of estimation concerns, stands at 0.041. Our approach also yields a number of intermediate outputs of independent...

Sorting and local wage and skill distributions in France
Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Gobillon, Laurent - 2012
This paper provides descriptive evidence about the distribution of wages and skills in denser and less dense employment areas in France. We confirm that on average, workers in denser areas are more skilled. There is also strong over-representation of workers with particularly high and low skills...
