Agglomeration Elasticities and Firm Heterogeneity

Graham, Daniel J.; Maré, David C. - Spatial Economics Research Centre, LSE - 2010

This paper estimates the relationship between agglomeration and multi factor productivity at the one digit industry … the level of local industries or enterprises. We obtain a cross-sectional agglomeration elasticity of 0.171, which falls … all industries is not a valid assumption. While cross-sectional estimates may overstate the true impact of agglomeration …

Productivity and Firm Selection: Quantifying the "New" Gains from Trade

Corocs, Gregory; Gatto, Massimo Del; Mion, Giordano; … - Spatial Economics Research Centre, LSE - 2009

We discuss how standard computable equilibrium models of trade policy can be enriched with selection effects without missing other important channels of adjustment. This is achieved by estimating and simulating a partial equilibrium model that accounts for a number of real world effects of trade...
