We show how to use commuting flows to infer the spatial distribution of income within a city. A simple workplace choice … model predicts a gravity equation for commuting flows whose destination fixed effects correspond to wages. We implement this … data, yet achieves comparable predictive power. We show that hartals (transportation strikes) in Dhaka reduce commuting …

This paper studies the effect of transportation networks on spatial inequalities and redistribution within metropolitan areas. To do so, I build and calibrate a spatial equilibrium model of a city that features non-homotheticities and worker heterogeneity, allowing to capture rich patterns of...

We study the effect of international trade and freeness of trade (openness) on interregional inequality within countries. We estimate a model derived from a structural economic-geography approach in which interregional inequality depends on weighted trade shares and trade costs. In addition to...

We study the effect of international trade and freeness of trade on interregional inequality within countries. While most studies focus on single countries and only some use a small panel of countries, we use the two largest databases available to examine these issues. One database is provided...
