Spatial wage disparities: Sorting matters!
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate a model of wage determination across local labour markets using a very large panel of French workers and find that individual skills account for a large fraction of existing spatial wage disparities with strong evidence of spatial sorting by skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
The productivity advantages of large cities: distinguishing agglomeration from firm selection

Journal ArticleDOI
