A large body of literature considers the productive advantages of cities, or "agglomeration economies". Most empirical … studies report positive agglomeration economies, although large variation exists in the magnitude of estimates. We use a meta …, we find agglomeration elasticities are likely to lie in the range 2.7-6.4%. Our findings confirm the controls enabled by …
