Knowledge, consumption, and endogenous growth
In neoclassical theory, knowledge generates increasing returns – and therefore growth – because it is a public good that can be costlessly reused once created. In fact, however, much knowledge in the economy is actually tacit and not easily transmitted –and thus not an obvious source of increasing returns. Several writers have responded to this alarming circumstances by affirming hopefully that...
متن کاملKnowledge 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...

Rapid urban growth induces global environmental change, particularly when it comes to production, consumption, and the generation of waste. According to the United Nations, most of the world's population will be living in cities by the year 2030. In developing countries, urban agglomerations are growing at twice the rate of overall population growth. Each day, approximately 160,000 people migra...
متن کاملKnowledge Barter in Cities
Since Marshall (1890), it has been common for economists to model knowledge transfers as exogenous spillovers. However, there are many instances of knowledge transfers that are deliberate and reciprocal. This paper models these endogenous knowledge transfers and shows that endogenous knowledge barter is fundamentally different than exogenous spillovers. Holding city size fixed, we show that kno...
متن کاملGrowth in Australian Cities
This paper is an empirical investigation of the determinants of city growth in Australia from 1981 to 1991. Our basic goal is to explain the population and labour force growth of a cross section of cities in the time period using variables representing the initial characteristics of cities. While we find that city growth is negatively correlated with initial size, government sector employment a...
