Industrial complexity and the evolution of formal employment in developing cities
Neave O'Clery, Juan Chaparro, Andres Gomez-Lievano +1
What drives formal employment creation in developing cities? We find that larger cities, home to an abundant set of complex industries, employ a larger share of their working age p…
The benefits and costs of agglomeration: insights from economics and complexity
Andres Gomez-Lievano, Michail Fragkias
There are many benefits and costs that come from people and firms clustering together in space. Agglomeration economies, in particular, are the manifestation of centripetal forces…
Bridging the short-term and long-term dynamics of economic structural change
James McNerney, Yang Li, Andres Gomez-Lievano +1
Economic transformation -- change in what an economy produces -- is foundational to development and rising standards of living. Our understanding of this process has been propelled…
An information-theoretic approach to the analysis of location and co-location patterns
Alje van Dam, Andres Gomez-Lievano, Frank Neffke +1
We propose a statistical framework to quantify location and co-location associations of economic activities using information-theoretic measures. We relate the resulting measures t…
Machine-learned patterns suggest that diversification drives economic development
Charles D. Brummitt, Andres Gomez-Lievano, Ricardo Hausmann +1
We develop a machine-learning-based method, Principal Smooth-Dynamics Analysis (PriSDA), to identify patterns in economic development and to automate the development of new theory…
Estimating the drivers of urban economic complexity and their connection to economic performance
Andres Gomez-Lievano, Oscar Patterson-Lomba
Estimating the capabilities, or inputs of production, that drive and constrain the economic development of urban areas has remained a challenging goal. We posit that capabilities a…
