We propose a theory of skill mobility across cities. It predicts the well documented city size-wage premium: the wage … distribution in large cities first-order stochastically dominates that in small cities. Yet, because this premium is reflected in … skilled disproportionately sort into the biggest cities, while those with medium skill levels sort into small cities. The …

Most cities enjoy some autonomy over how they tax their residents, and that autonomy is typically exercised by multiple …-OECD countries. We show that most cities are highly fragmented: urban areas with more than 500,000 inhabitants are divided into 74 … local jurisdictions on average. The vast majority of these cities are characterized by a central municipality that strongly …

We investigate the role of complementarities in production and skill mobility across cities. We propose a general … between the skills of workers. The nature of the complementarities determines the equilibrium skill distribution across cities …. We prove that with extreme-skill complementarity, the skill distribution has fatter tails in large cities; with top …
