Pełny tekst źródłaIn this thesis I study how barriers and distortions inherent in labor and housing markets affect aggregate productivity of a national economy. In Chapter 1 of this thesis, “The Rise of Housing Supply Regulation in the U.S.: Local Causes and Aggregate Implications”, I investigate effects of the rise of regulatory restrictions on the supply of housing in recent decades in the United States. I build an equilibrium model with multiple locations, heterogeneous workers and endogenous regulation. Regulation is decided by voting: renters want less regulation and owners want more. In locations with faster exogenous productivity growth, labor supply and house prices also grow more rapidly. Homeowners in these places vote for stricter regulation, which raises prices further and leads to greater price dispersion. High-skilled workers, being less sensitive to housing costs, sort into productive places, which leads to larger wage dispersion. That is, wage and house price differences are amplified by regulation choices. To quantify this amplification effect, I calibrate the model to the U.S. economy and find that the rise in regulation accounts for 23% of the increase in wage dispersion and 85% of the increase in house price dispersion across metro areas from 1980 to 2007. I find that if regulation had not increased, more workers would live in productive areas and output would be 2% higher. I also show that policy interventions that weaken incentives of local governments to restrict supply could reduce wage and house price dispersion, and boost productivity. In Chapter 2, “Opportunity to Move: Macroeconomic Effects of Relocation Subsidies”, I introduce relocation subsidies as a supplement to unemployment benefits, and study their effects on unemployment, productivity and welfare. I build a job search model with heterogeneous workers and multiple locations, in which migration is impeded by moving costs, cross-location search frictions, and borrowing constraints. I calibrate the model to the U.S. economy, and then introduce a subsidy that reimburses a part of the moving expenses to the unemployed. During the Great Recession, a relocation subsidy that pays half of the moving expenses would lower unemployment rate by 0.36 percentage points (or 4.8%) and increase productivity by 1%. Importantly, the subsidies cost nothing to the taxpayer: the additional spending on the subsidies is offset by the reduction in spending on unemployment benefits. In Chapter 3, “Managers and Productivity Differences”, (with Nezih Guner and Gustavo Ventura) we investigate the determinants of productivity differences across countries. We document that for a group of high-income countries (i) mean earnings of managers tend to grow faster than for non managers over the life cycle; (ii) the life-cycle earnings growth of managers relative to non managers is positively correlated with output per worker. We interpret this evidence using an equilibrium life-cycle, span-of-control model where managers invest in their skills. We parameterize this model with observations from the U.S. We then quantify the relative importance of exogenous productivity differences and the firm size-dependent distortions. Our findings indicate that such distortions are critical to generate the observed differences in the growth of relative managerial earnings across countries. We find that cross-country variation in distortions accounts for about 42% of the cross-country productivity differences.

This thesis consists of three chapters that analyze how the networks of firms, people, and locations shape socio-economic activities. The first chapter analyzes the role of supplier to buyer matching in the firm-to-firm trade as a source of geographic concentration of economic activities. Using a panel of firm-to-firm trade data covering over a million Japanese firms, I first provide evidence that the new supplier matching rate upon unexpected supplier bankruptcies increases in locations and industries when there are more alternative suppliers selling in the buyer's location, while this rate remains stable in the presence of other buyers looking for a match. I then estimate a new structural trade model that incorporates dynamic firm-to-firm matching across space in a standard Melitz model and concludes that this agglomeration mechanism drives a large part of spatial inequality of firm density and real wages in Japan. The second chapter (co-authored with Gabriel Kreindler) investigates how people's mobility patterns are associated with urban spatial economic activities. We use cell phone transaction data to extract commuting flows at a fine spatially and temporarily scale, and use a model to empirically associate commuting flows with spatial economic activity distributions in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We validate our predicted measures of economic activities with a government survey and show several applications to provide a proof of concept of our approach. The third chapter develops an econometric framework to estimate structural parameters underlying a network formation model. I show that the set of equilibria is a complete lattice under certain conditions, and extend this characterization to an econometric framework based on the moment inequality model. I then apply this method to a student friendship network formation in the U.S.

En el primer capítulo, examino teóricamente el impacto de las recientes mejoras en las tecnologías de la telecomunicación sobre la configuración económico-geográfica en varios niveles de desagregación. Muestro que un modelo sencillo de la organización global de las cadenas de suministros puede racionalizar varios hechos estilizados relacionados con la evolución reciente de la economía espacial. En el segundo capítulo, investigo empíricamente el impacto de los cambios en la política de comercio exterior de los EEUU, desencadenados por la adhesión de China a la OMC, sobre las economías locales en China. Encuentro que el mejor acceso al mercado estadounidense tuvo un impacto importante sobre las economías locales y sobre la configuración geográfica de la actividad económica en China. En el tercer capítulo, examino el impacto de descubrimientos de grandes yacimientos petrolíferos sobre las economías locales, centrándome particularmente en las perspectivas económicas de las mujeres. Encuentro que aunque grandes yacimiento minerales no retrasan el proceso de adhesión femenina al mercado de trabajo, sí llevan a mayores diferenciales salariales entre los hombres y mujeres.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation focuses on the role played by trade cost in the shaping of trade flows. While the last two chapters examine the role of unconventional trade costs, the first two assess the impact of more traditional domestic and international trade costs. Chapter 1 is a joint effort with Jules Hugot. In this chapter we estimate the elasticity of trade to distance and its evolution since 1870. For this purpose we take advantage of four important episodes in the history of international trade: the openings of the Suez and Panama canals and the later closure and reopening of the first. In Chapter 2 I study the effect of a reduction of domestic transport costs. To address the endogeneity of infrastructure placement, I exploit the natural experiment provided by the opening of intercoastal shipping routes connecting the west and east coasts of Canada through the Panama Canal. Chapter 3 documents the negative impact of travel visas on bilateral trade flows. In order to estimate their causal effect I exploit a natural experiment provided by changes in Annex I of the Schengen agreements. I show that the subsequent introduction of visas to enter the Schengen Space considerably reduced bilateral trade flows. In chapter 4 I examine empirically the impact of politics on trade flows. Following Eysenck's depiction of the political spectrum, I show that distance separating countries on the different dimensions of the political spectrum has a robust negative impact on bilateral exchanges

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation wants to enrich the Economic Geography literature by investigating the case of heterogeneous agents operating under bounded rationality in complex spatial structures. In the first Chapter, I propose a flexible macroeconomic Agent-based model endowed with Households and Firms interacting on a given spatial network. The agents’ decision heuristics embed and reproduce the features usually employed in mainstream Economic Geography models, as relocation, migration, trade and transportation costs. This permits to check the emergence and stability of agglomerated configurations by the economic agents. The flexibility of the spatial structure, which consists in a network of locations provided in the initial calibration of the model, allows to check the results on a wide variety of spatial environments, including realistic ones. In the second Chapter, I extend the previous model for the analysis of Local policy. In this work I test different local policy measures under different theoretically-inspired scenarios which have been proven difficult to be compared in structures with multiple regions, bounded rationality and a dynamic setting. These include different forms of tax competition and of public spending. In the proposed extension Locations are treated as active agents and can set their local tax collection and revenues usage according to adaptive heuristics. Moreover, I test the same measures on an asymmetric and realistically calibrated spatial structure. While the results should be further refined before being taken as robust, the investigated policies seem to cause enhanced volatility of aggregate production and of unemployment rate. Changing the spatial structure affects the results.

Pełny tekst źródłaEn el capítulo 1, “El poder de los mercados: impacto de las invasiones de langostas del desierto sobre la salud infantil”, proporciono pruebas reducidas de la importancia (acceso a) mercados en la transmisión de choques agrícolas impulsados por el cambio climático a la acumulación de capital humano a economías agrícolas de bajos ingresos. En general, argumenta por la importancia de abordar las reacciones del mercado local en este tipo de choque agrícola a la hora de diseñar políticas públicas. También transmite evidencias claras de la vulnerabilidad de las economías agrícolas y de bajos ingresos a los choques a corto plazo inducidos por el cambio climático. Por lo tanto, motiva a los capítulos posteriores, en que estudio las reacciones económicas a largo plazo y las consecuencias del cambio climático. En el capítulo 2, “Cambio climático y migración: el caso de África”, estudio los posibles costes económicos y las respuestas migratorias al cambio climático en el contexto del África subsahariana (SSA) durante las próximas décadas. Para ello, desarrollo un marco espacial cuantitativo que recoge el papel de las redes comerciales y la idoneidad agrícola en la distribución de la población y el PIB (teniendo en cuenta los ajustes endógenos de la selección y el comercio de cultivos). Lo combino con datos geoespaciales detalladas para simular el impacto del cambio climático mediante previsiones de productividad agrícola en el 2080 de la FAO. Los resultados sugieren que el cambio climático podría conducir a grandes flujos migratorios dentro y entre los países de la SSA, con pérdidas económicas sustanciales. Además, la capacidad de ajustar la mezcla de producción entre diferentes sectores (cultivos y / o no agrícolas) o el elevado acceso a los mercados mitiga parcialmente los impactos del cambio climático en términos de salidas de población. Finalmente, un experimento relacionado con la adopción de tecnología a la agricultura muestra que la adopción tecnología en este sector podría revertir considerablemente los impactos negativos del cambio climático. El capítulo 3, “Especialización sectorial local en un mundo de calentamiento” estudia la evolución de la distribución geográfica de la economía y el clima mundiales en un entorno donde ambos elementos son endógenos entre sí. En particular, incorporo un enlace entre la actividad económica, las emisiones de carbono y el calentamiento global en un modelo de equilibrio espacial general dinámico donde la innovación espacial impulsa la dinámica de la evolución de la productividad y el crecimiento. Simulando la evolución de la economía mundial durante los próximos siglos, encuentro una concentración de actividad agrícola mucho mayor en las latitudes del norte (por ejemplo, Siberia) si se compara con un escenario sin calentamiento global. En términos agregados, el cambio climático conduce a diferentes patrones de evolución de la productividad sectorial, el crecimiento económico y la especialización en sectores agrícolas y urbanos, en línea con algunos de los resultados del capítulo 2. Un experimento relacionado con los costes comerciales muestra que fricciones más altas en el comercio distribuye la producción y los factores cercanos a la demanda, reduciendo la ventaja comparativa en regiones más periféricas del mundo. En general, mi tesis doctoral proporciona evidencias claras de las diferencias espaciales en las reacciones (y las consecuencias) del cambio climático en todo el mundo. También argumenta firmemente por la importancia del comercio como mecanismo económico clave detrás de la transmisión de este tipo de choque a los resultados económicos. En los tiempos actuales de globalización rápida, integración de mercados y expansión de redes comerciales, mi tesis muestra que acercar los mercados más aislados en las redes comerciales globales puede tener un papel clave en la mitigación de las consecuencias futuras del cambio climático.
This doctoral thesis answer questions related to the spatial impacts of climate change on economic outcomes. Composed by three independent chapters, it contributes to a literature at the intersection of economic development, economic geography, international trade, and climate change. In Chapter 1, “The Power of Markets: Impact of Desert Locust Invasions on Child Health”, I provide reduced-form evidence of the importance of (access to) markets on the transmission of climate change-led agricultural shocks to human capital accumulation in low-income agricultural economies. Overall, it argues for the importance of addressing local market reactions to this type of agricultural shock when designing public policy. It also conveys clear evidence of the vulnerability of agricultural, low-income economies, to short-term shocks induced by climate change. Hence, it motivates the subsequent chapters, in which I study the long-run economic reactions to and consequences of climate change. In particular, in Chapter 2, “Climate Change and Migration: the case of Africa”, I study the potential economic costs and migration responses to climate change in the context of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) during the next decades. For that, I develop a quantitative spatial framework that captures the role of trade networks and agricultural suitability on the distribution of population and GDP accounting for endogenous adjustments of crop choice and trade. I combine it with detailed geospatial data from SSA to simulate the impact of climate change using forecasts of agricultural productivity in 2080 from FAO. My results suggest that climate change could lead to major migration flows within and across SSA countries, with substantial economic losses associated with it. Moreover, the capacity of adjusting the production mix across different sectors (crops and/or non-agricultural) or high access to markets partially mitigates the impacts of climate change in terms of population outflows. Finally, a policy experiment related to technology adoption in agriculture shows that the adoption of modern inputs in that sector could reverse considerably the negative impacts of climate change. My thesis is concluded with Chapter 3, “Local Sectoral Specialization in a Warming World”, where I study the evolution of the geographical distribution of the world’s economy and climate in a setup where both elements are endogenous to one another. In particular, I embed a mapping between the evolution of economic activity, carbon emissions, and global warming into a dynamic spatial general equilibrium model where spatial innovation drives the dynamics of the evolution of productivities and growth. By simulating the evolution of the world economy for the next centuries, I find a much higher concentration of agricultural activity in northern latitudes (e.g. Siberia and Northern China) if compared to a scenario without global warming. Moreover, in aggregate terms, climate change leads to different patterns of the evolution of sectoral--productivities, economic growth, and specialization into agriculture and urban sectors, in line with some of the results from Chapter 2. A policy experiment related to trade costs shows that higher frictions to trade reallocate production and factors close to the demand, by reducing the comparative advantage in more peripheral regions of the globe. Overall, my doctoral thesis provides clear evidence of the spatial differences in the reactions to (and consequences of) climate change throughout the globe. It also argues firmly for the importance of trade as a key economic mechanism behind the transmission of this sort of shock to economic outcomes. In the present times of fast globalization, integration of markets, and expansion of trade networks, my thesis shows that bringing the most isolated markets closer to the global trade networks can have a key role in mitigating the future consequences of climate change.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis studies how heterogeneity in the quality of local public goods may influence the geography of economic activity, through the study of two mechanisms generating such heterogeneity. In the first two chapters, the local public good I study is technological knowledge. The analysis is rooted in a vast body of literature showing that knowledge flows exhibit a strong spatial bias. The first chapter studies the dynamics of link formation between innovators, and their link with the aggregate effect of distance on knowledge flows. The analysis shows that innovators learn about new knowledge gradually, using the contacts of their own contacts. Inserting this fact in a network formation model yields predictions about the size of innovators and a relation between size and the distance of citations, which are met in the data. The second chapter takes these local innovation networks as given, and investigates how they influence firms’ location choices through their decisions to relocate R&D labs. I show that innovative firms are more mobile than the average firm, and that denser innovation networks attract them while a poor position in their local network makes them more likely to leave. I then study theoretically the problem faced by firms able to relocate their R&D labs with limited information about the other locations.The third chapter studies a different problem in which a local public good provided by the public sector is spatially heterogeneous, due to wages set centrally. It shows that public sector workers exert positive spillovers on private sector workers, implying that heterogeneous levels of public good provision distort the geography of private sector activity

Pełny tekst źródłaThe very first step of the study, presented in Chapter one, is to build such non-physical relations between countries. In this chapter, we present both the choices and methods used to model the institutional and cultural weights matrices. Chapter 1 also presents a comparative study between the different matrices built. The final aim of this chapter is to identify the differences between the geographical, institutional and cultural environment.
The following chapter incorporates these innovative new types of matrices in a study on growth. An externality growth model is therefore developed that takes proximities between entities into account, whether geographical, institutional or cultural. The purpose of the chapter is threefold. First, it compares the results obtained from spatial econometrics methods with classical regression, where observations of growth are considered as independent. Second, it examines whether the development of an externality model improves the quality of the estimation. Third, it investigates whether the institutional and cultural types of proximity make sense compared to the geographical one.
Chapter 3 narrows the analysis of countries’ dependency with regard to their neighborhood, whether geographical, institutional or religious, and a quintile regression approach allows us to check whether the countries' wealth level matters. Do the poorest countries react in the same way as richer ones regarding the wealth of their geographical, institutional and religious neighbors? The gross impact of neighboring wealth on a country’s wealth is then estimated, and some relative effects of the three matrices combined are also shown, as well as the robustness of the estimates.
Finally, Chapter 4 analyzes the dependence of poverty regarding neighborhood. The relative wealth and poverty of the neighborhood are examined as factors that can influence a country’s poverty level. The poverty index used is the proportion of people living on less than one or two dollars a day. The study only considers the developing countries as data for the developed countries on the proportion of this variable is near zero. Once again, the final aim is to check whether a country’s poverty is exacerbated by its geographical, institutional and religious neighborhood poverty or if it takes advantage of neighborhood wealth to manage its own poverty issues.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe fact that innovative activity is remarkably concentrated in space, and in particular in cities, has motivated an important research effort to understand the spatial dimension of innovation, and the underlying mechanisms at work. While the literature has established the importance knowledge flows for location of innovation, the mechanisms through which they diffuse in space remain largely understudied. In particular, studies have insisted on the importance of skilled workers' mobility and the networked nature of knowledge production for innovation. Building on these considerations, this thesis investigates the role of skilled mobility in the diffusion of knowledge, and the resulting distribution of innovative activity. To answer this question, the thesis proceeds in three steps. The first chapter sets the conceptual framework and surveys the related literature. One of the main conclusion of this review is that some new economic geography and growth models provide a useful theoretical framework, because they recognize the importance of skilled mobility and knowledge externalities for the distribution of innovation. However, they fail to provide a reasonable answer to our research question for at least two reasons. First, the migration dynamics are very simplistic, and introducing heterogeneity in workers' characteristics and location preferences alters the cumulative mechanism of agglomeration. The second chapter provides a descriptive analysis on the patterns of inventors' mobility across urban areas, and their spatial dimension. Using these results, a spatial filtering gravity model is used to analyse formally how employment opportunities, professional networks and urban amenities, influence inventors' mobility flows. Second, these models do not consider workers' role in the diffusion of knowledge. The literature has established that skilled individuals influence the diffusion of knowledge by moving across organisation, creating network relationships and building absorptive capacities. The third chapter implements a spatial Durbin model to study these three mechanisms in an integrated framework. It is assumed that that mobility and networks provide access to knowledge, but the proportion of accessible knowledge used for innovation depends on absorptive capacity. These results have implications for the geography of innovation. While long-term mobility acts as a strong agglomeration force, the development of short-term, circular patterns of mobility should give rise to dispersion. The relative importance of these two effects is uncertain, because workers have different propensities and motivation to move, so that mobility patterns differ considerably. This should help explaining the persistence of long-run growth differentials among urban areas, and in a more dynamic setting, whether these gaps tend to widen or fall over time

Pełny tekst źródłaEl objetivo de esta tesis es comprender cómo y por qué los destinos turísticos se transforman con el tiempo, poniendo especial atención al estudio de las dinámicas del lugar en su conjunto en vez de simplificar el análisis a la evolución de la actividad turística, una de las discusiones predominantes en torno a los modelos evolutivos tradicionales. Con este fin, se desarrolla un modelo analítico inspirado en avances contemporáneos en el campo de la geografía económica, más concretamente, en el ámbito de la geografía económica evolutiva (EEG) y la geografía económica relacional (REG). Desde este enfoque, la evolución de los destinos se concibe como un proceso complejo y en continuo cambio que está influenciado por las características específicas y la interacción de múltiples fuerzas en términos de agencia (human agency), contextualidad (contextuality) y dependencia de la trayectoria (path dependence). Centrando el análisis empírico en los catalizadores específicos que tuvieron incidencia en la definición de la trayectoria evolutiva de la Costa Dorada centro desde la década de 1980, la investigación se orienta, en primer lugar, a estudiar los efectos de la interacción los actores y los flujos de conocimiento en el comportamiento evolutivo de los destinos (human agency). En segundo lugar, la capacidad de adaptación de los destinos ante las dinámicas de cambio local y global (contextuality). En tercer lugar, los efectos positivos y negativos a largo plazo que se derivan de las decisiones y acontecimientos ocurridos en el pasado (path dependence).
The aim of this thesis is to understand how and why destinations change over time, putting attention to the dynamics of place instead of the evolution of tourism activity, one of the prevalent discussions around traditional evolutionary models. To achieve this, it develops an analytical model drawing inspiration on contemporary advances in economic geography – i.e. evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and relational economic geography (REG). From such an approach destination evolution is conceived as a complex ongoing process shaped by the specific characteristics and interplay of multiple forces in terms of human agency, contextuality and path dependence. By focusing on the analysis of specific catalysts that shaped the evolutionary trajectory of central Costa Daurada (Catalonia) since the 1980s, the exploratory research conducted studies, first, the effects of stakeholders’ interaction and knowledge flows on the evolutionary performance of destinations (human agency). Second, the adaptive capacity of destinations in front of dynamics of local and global change (contextuality). And third, the enabling and constraining long-term effects of decisions and events occurred in the past (path dependence). The methodological design of the empirical research comprises a combination of qualitative – interviews and documentary analysis – and quantitative – social network analysis – techniques.
