Coagglomeration, Clusters, and the Scale and Composition of Cities
Cities are neither completely specialized nor completely diverse. However, prior research has focused almost entirely on the polar cases of complete specialization and complete diversity. This paper develops a model that can also generate the intermediate case of cities that feature the coagglomeration of some but not all industries, thus giving theoretical foundations to the analysis of business clusters. The analysis sharply challenges the conv…
Sprawl and blight
A game-theoretic analysis of skyscrapers
Urban interactions and spatial structure
This article specifies and solves a model of endogenous spatial interactions where agents choose to visit a particular location to interact with others. Equilibrium fails to achieve first-best levels of visits and population density. A construction subsidy can restore second-best efficiency, but not first-best because it does not operate on the visit margin directly. A transportation subsidy can achieve first best. This result--which contrasts wi…

The Location of International Financial Activity: An Interregional Analysis
GOLDBERG M. A., HELSLEY R. W. and LEVI M. D. (1989) The location of international financial activity: an interregional analysis, Reg. Studies 23, 1–7. This paper examines the determinants of the spatial distribution of financial activity. The determinants of the sizes of the financial services sector are estimated using data for a sample of US states. Although our analysis is limited by the availability of data, the results are strong and clear. …
