Market-supporting institutions and generalised trust
In this paper we study how market institutions affect trust in people we don't know. We show evidence that trust increases with deeper market depth in countries with strong protection of contracts. However, the trust and market-depth institutions relation is negative in countries where enforcement of contracts is poor. Our results contribute to the literature in providing evidence of heterogeneous effects regarding the relation between trust and …
The spatial concentration of high-skilled workers and city productivity
The aim of this study is to cast light on the relationship between the spatial concentration of high-skilled workers and the productivity of cities in Latin America. The relationship is not clear at first sight. On the one hand, the segregation of high-skilled workers should create agglomeration economies and give rise to positive spillovers amongst the most advantaged, offsetting productivity losses that result from the existence of ghettos of l…

Defining Housing Market Areas Using Commuting and Migration Algorithms
In the literature on housing market areas, different approaches can be found to defining them—for example, using travel-to-work areas and, more recently, making use of migration data. This paper proposes a simple exercise to shed light on which approach performs better. Using regional data for Catalonia, in Spain, housing market areas are computed with both commuting data and migration data. In order to decide which procedure shows superior perfo…
