Regional Dependencies and Local Spillovers
A region's growth trajectory is influenced by the economic circumstances of other regions in its proximity. While proximity is often understood in a geographic sense, economic connectivity can take many different forms. In particular, shock transmission processes between regions are inherently asymmetric and heterogeneous, which is not captured by geographic proximity measures. As a potential channel for economic dependencies, we consider cross‐r…
Unlocking neighborhood density
Studying the components of neighborhood population density reveals a complex picture that little is known about. Hidden under the same level of population density, neighborhoods can vastly differ in crowding, if residential coverage or building heights are moving in opposite directions. We study this heterogeneity in density components and how it is linked to the variation in neighborhood socio-economic characteristics that define modern cities. …
The Emperor’s Geography—City Locations, Nature and Institutional Optimisation
The emergence of cities in specific locations depends on both geographical features (such as elevation and proximity to rivers) and institutional factors (such as centrality within an administrative region). In this paper, we analyse the importance of these factors at different levels of the urban hierarchy. To do so, we exploit a unique data set on the locations of cities of different status in imperial China from 221 BCE to 1911 CE, a geographi…

Work-related and personal predictors of Covid-19 transmission
OBJECTIVE: To develop evidence of work-related and personal predictors of COVID-19 transmission. SETTING AND RESPONDENTS: Data are drawn from a population survey of individuals in the USA and UK conducted in June 2020. BACKGROUND METHODS: Regression models are estimated for 1467 individuals in which reported evidence of infection depends on work-related factors as well as a variety of personal controls. RESULTS: The following themes emerge from t…
Population, light, and the size distribution of cities
We provide new insights on the city size distribution of countries around the world. Using more than 10,000 cities delineated via geospatial data and a globally consistent city identification scheme, we investigate distributional shapes in all countries. In terms of population, we find that Zipf's law holds for many, but not all, countries. Contrasting the distribution of population with the distribution of economic activity, measured by nighttim…
Air pollution in an urban world
The urbanising force of global warming
We study the relationship between changes in weather patterns and the spatial distribution of population and economic activity within countries. Our unique global dataset combines climatic and census data for the period 1950–2015 with satellite data on built-up areas, and light intensity at night for the 1990–2015 periods. We establish a global non-linear effect of climate on urbanisation. In particular, we find that deteriorating climatic condit…
