Top Lights - Bright Cities and Their Contribution to Economic Development
Bluhm, Richard - 2019
The commonly-used satellite images of nighttime lights fail to capture the true brightness of most cities. We show that night lights are a reliable proxy for economic activity at the city level, provided they are first corrected for top-coding. We present a stylized model of urban luminosity and...

Long-Range Growth : Economic Development in the Global Network of Air Links
Campante, Filipe R. - 2016
We study the impact of international long-distance flights on the global spatial allocation of economic activity. To identify causal effects, we exploit variation due to regulatory and technological constraints which give rise to a discontinuity in connectedness between cities at a distance of...
