Industry Churning and the Evolution of Cities: Evidence for Germany
Findeisen, Sebastian; Suedekum, Jens - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
this theoretical framework is the "churning" of industries across cities. Little is known so far about the determinants of … local industry turnover, however. We present an empirical analysis of the excess churning index for West German cities …

Spatial dynamics and driving forces of Asian cities
Jiang, Yi - 2020
This paper introduces a new city-level panel dataset constructed using satellite nighttime light imagery and grid population data. The dataset contains over 1,500 cities covering 43 economies of Asia and the Pacific from 1992 to 2016. With the dataset, we perform a variety of analyses for Asia...

Sequential city growth in the US : does age matter?
González-Val, Rafael; Sánchez-Vidal, María; … - 2013
We provide empirical evidence of the dynamics of city size distribution for the whole of the twentieth century in U.S. cities and metropolitan areas. We focus our analysis on the new cities that were created during the period of analysis. The main contribution of this paper, therefore, is the...

Patterns in US urban growth (1790-2000)
González-Val, Rafael; Lanaspa-Santolaria, Luis Fernando - 2013
This paper reconsiders the evolution of the growth of American cities since 1790 in light of new theories of urban growth. Our null hypothesis for long-term growth is random growth. We obtain evidence supporting random growth against the alternative of mean reversion (convergence) in city sizes...

A spatial econometric analysis of land use efficiency in large and small municipalities
Guastella, Giovanni; Pareglio, Stefano; Sckokai, Paolo - 2017
We estimate the relationship between urban spatial expansion and its socio-economic determinants in Lombardy, the most urbanised region of Italy (and one of the most urbanized of the European Union), at the municipality level. Test results suggest that this relationship varies significantly...

The IOC's midas touch : Summer Olympics and city growth
Nitsch, Volker; Wendland, Nicolai - 2013
Hosting a mega-event is a costly activity of short duration. Still, cities frequently compete to become host of all types of events. This paper examines the effect of staging the largest and most important sporting event in the world, the Summer Olympic Games, on the host city. Applying a...

A Theory of Urban Growth
Black, Duncan; Henderson, J. Vernon - 2013
In an economy experiencing endogenous economic growth and exogenous population growth, we explore two main themes: how urbanization affects efficiency of the growth process and how growth affects patterns of urbanization. Localized information spillovers promote agglomeration and human capital...

Top lights : bright cities and their contribution to economic development
Bluhm, Richard; Krause, Melanie - 2018
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...
