Downscaling Aggregate Urban Metabolism Accounts to Local Districts

Unmixing aggregate data: estimating the social composition of enumeration districts.

"In this paper the authors address the problem of interpreting and classifying aggregate data sources and draw parallels between tasks commonly encountered in image processing and census analysis. Both of these fields already have a range of standard classification tools which are applied in such situations, but these are hindered by the aggregate nature of the input data. An approach to ¿unmix...

Improved DisTrad for Downscaling Thermal MODIS Imagery over Urban Areas

Spaceborne thermal sensors provide important physical parameters for urban studies. However, due to technical constraints, spaceborne thermal sensors yield a trade-off between their spatial and temporal resolution. The aims of this study are (1) to downscale the three originally low spatial resolution (960 m) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS/Terra) land surface temperature i...

Local Complementarities and Aggregate Fluctuations

Accumulating microeconomic evidence points both to firm level adjustment lumpiness and to the significant influence of idiosyncratic disturbances. Do these matter for aggregate fluctuations, or do their effects largely vanish upon aggregation? This paper explores the implications of local strategic complementarities and firmlevel adjustment lumpiness for aggregate fluctuations. It shows that sm...
