Endogenous local labour markets, regional aggregation and agglomeration economies
Meekes, Jordy; Hassink, Wolter H. J. - 2019
This paper examines the role of regional aggregation in measuring agglomeration externalities. Using Dutch … agglomeration externalities at a higher spatial scale. We quantify subgroup differentials and find that high-educated workers have … agglomeration externalities twice as high as low-educated workers. We show that workers who lose their job in denser LLMs experience …

Hiller, Norbert; Lerbs, Oliver - 2014
This paper extends existing research on regional quality of life in Germany by newly estimating the role of region-specific (dis-)amenities in the determination of regional housing rents and wages. Different from previous studies, the empirical analysis draws on functional labor market areas...
