Dynamic Henry George Theorem and optimal city sizes

Fu, Shihe - 2025

The Henry George Theorem (HGT) in static models states that when a city has an optimal population size, aggregate urban differential land rents exactly cover costs of pure public goods. This paper extends the static HGT to dynamic settings. Through a series of dynamic models, the paper...

City size, employer concentration, and wage income inequality

Halvarsson, Daniel; Korpi, Martin - 2025

Land-use change and Zipf's law : a novel tool to investigate regional transformations

Postigliola, Michele; Salvati, Luca - 2025

Business cycles have affected urbanization processes worldwide. Despite strength and pervasiveness of recent stagnation waves, empirical evidence documenting the aggregate effect of economic downturns on metropolitan growth was relatively scarce in the old continent. The present study tests -...

Granular cities

Esquierro, Leon; Silva, Sergio da - 2024

This study extends the concept of granularity from firms to cities, examining how large cities influence national economic dynamics beyond their relative size. By applying Zipf's law, which describes the power law distribution of city sizes, we investigate the interplay between granularity and...

Mean reversion of the German city system after the WWII bombing of cities : what is the mean?

We study the post-war effects of the bombing of German cities during WWII on urban growth and use the synthetic control method (SCM) to construct comparison units for affected West-German cities. The reason to use SCM is that cities might experience structural changes that have nothing to do...

Berson, Clémence; Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Gobillon, … - 2024

We examine how agglomeration economies have influenced labour earnings in France over forty years. First, we define cities dynamically to account for their changing footprints. Our findings show that aggregate wage growth is mainly driven by growth in larger cities, rather than smaller ones or...
