Knowledge Externalities , Agglomeration Economies , and Employment Growth in Dutch Cities

This paper extends the work of Glaeser et al. (1992) by looking at effects of agglomeration economies on employment growth in Dutch city-industries and in very small (postal) zip code-industries in the Dutch province of South-Holland. At both levels of geographic detail, findings are broadly consistent with results from the earlier study in that employment growth is enhanced by industrial diver...

Human Capital and Productivity in US Cities

In an empirical analysis, considering 236 U.S. cities in the period 1980-1990, we document a strong positive correlation between local supply of education skills and their return. In SMSA’s where the average education of workers is high the education premium is also high. This is true both considering the levels of the variables in 1980, 1990 and considering their changes. Technical progress, a...

Modeling Cities with Congestion and Agglomeration Externalities: the Efficiency of Congestion Tolls, Labor Subsidies, and Urban Growth Boundaries

Under review for publication in the Journal of Urban Economics, September 2014 ABSTRACT: This paper develops a spatial general equilibrium model that accommodates both congestion and agglomeration externalities, while firms’ and households’ land-use decisions are endogenous across continuous space. Focusing on the interaction between externalities and land use patterns, we examine the efficienc...

Congestion Tolling with Agglomeration Externalities*

Consider an urban economy with two types of externalities, negative traffic congestion externalities and positive agglomeration externalities deriving from non-market interaction. Suppose that urban travel can be tolled, that non-market interaction cannot be subsidized, and that non-market interaction is stimulated by a reduction in travel costs. Then the optimal toll is below the congestion ex...

Agglomeration, Productivity and Regional Growth: Production Theory Approaches

Agglomeration Economies, or production cost savings due to geographic clustering of firms and industries, can enhance the growth and development of firms, industries, regions and cities. We provide an overview of the theory and empirical literature of agglomeration, and highlight several applications from the cost function perspective. These applications include cost savings from density in the...
