The productivity advantages of large cities: Distinguishing agglomeration from firm selection
Combes, Pierre Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Gobillon, Laurent - Instituto de Ciencias Sociales, Instituto Madrileño de … - 2009
Firms are more productive on average in larger cities. Two explanations have been offered: agglomeration economies … 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 distribution. We assess the relative importance of …

Rising trade costs?: agglomeration and trade with endogenous transaction costs
Duranton, Gilles; Storper, Michael - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005
While transport costs have fallen, the empirical evidence also points at rising total trade costs. In a model of industry location with endogenous transaction costs, we show how and under which conditions a decline in transport costs can lead to an increase in the total cost of trade.

Rising Trade Costs? Agglomeration and Trade with Endogenous Transaction Costs
Duranton, Gilles; Storper, Michael - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2005
While transport costs have fallen, the empirical evidence also points at rising total trade costs. In a model of industry location with endogenous transaction costs, we show how and under which conditions a decline in transport costs can lead to an increase in the total cost of trade.
