研讨题目：Unequal Urban Gains in China
主讲人：Sylvie Démurger 教授
Abstract:
Using the 1% population census 2005, this paper evaluates unequal gains from agglomeration economies in China for various groups of workers identified as skilled urban residents, unskilled urban residents and rural migrants. We disentangle the effect of the size of the city from that of externalities brought by the different groups of workers, and show that urban gains do differ across groups of workers.
题目： The Costs of Agglomeration: Land Prices in French Cities
主讲人：Pierre-Philippe Combes 教授
Abstract:
We develop a new methodology to estimate the elasticity of urban costs with respect to city population using French land price data. Our preferred estimate, which handles a number of estimation concerns, stands at 0.041. Our approach also yields a number of intermediate outputs of independent interest such as a distance gradient for land prices and the elasticity of unit land prices with respect to city population. For the latter, our preferred estimate is 0.72.
