This paper aims at disentangling the role played by different theoretical explanations in accounting for the urban wage premium along the wage distribution. We analyze the wage dynamics of migrants from low-to-high-density areas in Italy, using quantile regression and individual panel data to...

We examine the impact of piped water on the under-1 infant mortality rate(IMR) in Brazil using a novel econometric procedure for the estimation of quantiletreatment effects with panel data. The provision of piped water in Brazil is highlycorrelated with other observable and unobservable...

Spatial sorting plays an important role in accounting for disparities in average wages among locations. This paper shows that sorting also matters when addressing the relation between spatial externalities and wage distribution, i.e. across workers located at dierent percentiles of the wage...
