Identifying agglomeration shadows : long-run evidence from ancient ports
Hornbeck, Richard; Michaels, Guy; Rauch, Ferdinand - 2024
We examine "agglomeration shadows" that emerge around large cities, which discourage some economic activities in nearby … areas. Identifying agglomeration shadows is complicated, however, by endogenous city formation and "wave interference" that … estimate agglomeration shadows cast on nearby areas. We find that empirically, as in the simulations, detectable agglomeration …

Cities and the Sea Level
Lin, Yatang; McDermott, Thomas K.J.; Michaels, Guy - 2021
Construction on low elevation coastal zones is risky for both residents and taxpayers who bail them out, especially when sea levels are rising. We study this construction using spatially disaggregated data on the US Atlantic and Gulf coasts. We document nine stylized facts, including a sizeable...
