L Sveikauskas, J Gowdy, M Funk - Journal of Regional Science, 1988 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the effect of city size and industry size on urban productivity

Productivity and city size: a critique of the evidence
RL Moomaw - The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1981 - JSTOR
A critique of two leading articles in the productivity and city-size literature results in revised
estimates of the productivity advantages of large cities. In particular, extant estimates of the
elasticity of productivity with city size are revised downward by over 100 percent for the ...

Firm location and city size: reduced productivity advantages as a factor in the decline of manufacturing in urban areas
RL Moomaw - Journal of Urban Economics, 1985 - Elsevier
Abstract This paper develops a model of firm location and city size that arrives at theoretical
conclusions that differ from those of other authors. Comparative-statics results suggest that
changes in national wage levels and productivity levels create no determinate (dis) ...

Are there returns to scale in city size?
D Segal - The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1976 - JSTOR
... Because of higher real incomes in the larger cities a reasonable hypothesis is that size exerts
a positive influence on city product, ceteris paribus. If this is the case, then we can apply mar-
ginal productivity concepts to analyze city dif- ferences in productivity, as shown in figure 1 ...
