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...

Residential electricity use scales superlinearly with city size in China

Urban scaling laws measure how urban quantities scale with population size. Residential electricity consumption, being fundamentally tied to basic household needs, is often assumed to scale linearly with population. However, empirical studies have reported divergent scaling behaviors for...

The Geography of Lifecycle Human Capital Accumulation
Sprung-Keyser, Ben; Porter, Sonya - 2026
We examine how place shapes the production of human capital across the lifecycle. We ask: do those places that most effectively produce human capital in childhood also have local labor markets that do so in adulthood? We consider the following determinants of wages across place: 1)...
