Whereas a number of studies have considered the implications employee mobility, comparatively little research has institutional factors governing ability employees to move from one firm another. This paper explores legal constraint on mobility—employee non-compete agreements—by exploiting Michigan's apparently inadvertent 1985 reversal its enforcement policy as natural experiment. Using differences-in-differences approach, and controlling for changes in auto industry central economy, we find...
With urban population increasing dramatically worldwide, cities are playing an increasingly critical role in human societies and the sustainability of planet. An obstacle to effective policy is lack meaningful metrics based on a quantitative understanding cities. Typically, linear per capita indicators used characterize rank However, these implicitly ignore fundamental nonlinear agglomeration integral life history As such, conflate general effects, common all cities, with local dynamics,...
Urban areas consume more than 66% of the world's energy and generate 70% global greenhouse gas emissions. With population expected to reach 10 billion by 2100, nearly 90% whom will live in urban areas, a critical question for planetary sustainability is how size cities affects use carbon dioxide (CO2) Are larger emissions efficient smaller ones? Do exhibit gains from economies scale with regard emissions? Here we examine relationship between city CO2 U.S. metropolitan using production...
Invention has been commonly conceptualized as a search over space of combinatorial possibilities. Despite the existence rich literature, spanning variety disciplines, elaborating on recombinant nature invention, we lack formal and quantitative characterization process underpinning inventive activity. Here, use US patent records dating from 1790 to 2010 formally characterize invention process. To do this, treat patented inventions carriers technologies avail ourselves elaborate system...
The factors that account for the differences in economic productivity of urban areas have remained difficult to measure and identify unambiguously. Here we show a microscopic derivation scaling relations quantities vs. population, obtained from consideration social infrastructural properties common all cities, implies an effective model output form Cobb-Douglas type production function. As result derive new expression Total Factor Productivity (TFP) areas, which is standard per unit...
Understanding cities is central to addressing major global challenges from climate and health economic resilience. Although increasingly perceived as fundamental socio-economic units, the detailed fabric of urban activities only now accessible comprehensive analyses with availability large datasets. Here, we study abundances business categories across U.S. metropolitan statistical areas investigate how diversity depends on city size. A universal structure common all revealed, manifesting...
Much work on technological change agrees that the recombination of new and existing capabilities is one principal sources novelty. Patented inventions can be seen as bundles distinct technologies brought together to accomplish a specific outcome – this how US Patent Office defines inventions. The constituting are identified by through an elaborate system technology codes. A combinatorial perspective invention, emblematic approaches informed evolutionary economics complexity science, inherent...
Urban science seeks to understand the fundamental processes that drive, shape and sustain cities urbanization. It is a multi/transdisciplinary approach involving concepts, methods research from social, natural, engineering computational sciences, along with humanities. This report intended convey current "state of art" in urban while also clearly indicating how builds upon complements (but does not replace) prior work on urbanization many other disciplines. The aim at fully comprehensive...
Abstract Innovation underpins the industrial way of life. It is assumed implicitly both that it will continue to do so, and produce solutions problems we face involving climate resources. These assumptions underlie thinking many economists political leaders whom they influence. Such a view assumes innovation in future be as productive has been recent past. To test whether this likely investigate productivity United States using data from U.S. Patent Trademark Office. The results suggest...
This study examines the pace and content of Climate Change Mitigation Technology (CCMT) inventions, focusing on influence government-funded research patent characteristics. Utilizing data from USPTO, we analyze trends in CCMT patenting 1988 to 2017 reveal a significant increase inventions. However, patents hydrogen technology Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) are comparatively low, suggesting these fields still early development stages. inventions rely heavily research, particularly CCS...
ABSTRACT On the premise that knowledge creation defines contemporary metropolitan regions, we profile them by their inventive networks, as measured a variety of complementary social network, technology, and patenting metrics distinguish scalar structural aspects. Using comprehensive, multiyear database patent applications, investigate whether network profiles are discriminating characteristics regions establishing new urban taxonomy for areas in United States. The four‐class is not only...
Urban economies are composed of diverse activities, embodied in labor occupations, which depend on one another to produce goods and services. Yet little is known about how the nature intensity these interdependences change as cities increase population size economic complexity. Understanding relationship between occupational interdependencies number occupations defining an urban economy relevant because interdependence within a networked system has implications for resilience easily can...

A longstanding research tradition assumes that endogenous technological development increases regional productivity. It has been assumed measures of patenting activity or human capital are an adequate way to capture the creation new ideas result in productivity improvements. This process conceived as occurring two stages. First, invention innovation is generated, and then it developed commercialized create benefits for individual firm owning idea. Typically these steps combined into a single...
Agglomeration is the tell-tale sign of cities and urbanization. Identifying measuring agglomeration economies has been achieved by a variety means various disciplines, including urban economics, quantitative geography, regional science. typically expressed as non-linear dependence many different quantities on city size, proxied population. The identification measurement effects course dependent choice spatial units. Metropolitan areas (or their equivalent) have preferred units for scaling...
Recent scholarship on metropolitan and regional development has highlighted the importance of two factors: entrepreneurship skilled individuals. Using micro-level establishment data creation new firms, an occupational measure individuals (the creative class), we examine whether a environment conducive to employment is also (which can be seen as act). Taking past growth into consideration, allowing for annual fixed effects account economic cycles well controlling systematic location-specific...
