Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Microeconomics
  • Macroeconomics
  • Economy

Gilles Duranton mainly focuses on Economy, Economies of agglomeration, Economic geography, Labour economics and Urban agglomeration. His Economy study combines topics in areas such as Regional economics and Stylized fact. His Economies of agglomeration research includes themes of Productivity, Competition and Econometrics.

His Economic geography research incorporates elements of Local economic development, City size and Distribution. His work carried out in the field of Labour economics brings together such families of science as Endogeneity, Regression discontinuity design and Macroeconomics. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Urban agglomeration, concentrating on Matching and frequently concerns with Returns to scale.

His most cited work include:

  • Nursery Cities: Urban Diversity, Process Innovation, and the Life Cycle of Products (879 citations)
  • Micro-Foundations of Urban Agglomeration Economies (809 citations)
  • Spatial wage disparities: Sorting matters! (651 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Economies of agglomeration, Economic geography, Labour economics, Distribution and Productivity. Gilles Duranton has researched Economies of agglomeration in several fields, including Matching, Competition, Human capital and Urban agglomeration. His Economic geography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Variety, Production, City size and Economy.

Many of his research projects under Labour economics are closely connected to Pooling with Pooling, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Gilles Duranton integrates several fields in his works, including Wage and Sorting. His research in Productivity intersects with topics in Developing country and Instrumental variable.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Economies of agglomeration (42.40%)
  • Economic geography (34.10%)
  • Labour economics (25.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Economies of agglomeration (42.40%)
  • Econometrics (11.98%)
  • Productivity (14.29%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Gilles Duranton mostly deals with Economies of agglomeration, Econometrics, Productivity, Microeconomics and Aggregate. His research integrates issues of Empirical research and Urban area in his study of Economies of agglomeration. His Econometrics study incorporates themes from TRIPS architecture, Latent variable, Production function, Standard deviation and Congestion pricing.

As part of the same scientific family, Gilles Duranton usually focuses on Production function, concentrating on Nonparametric statistics and intersecting with Production. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Total factor productivity and Instrumental variable. His Labour economics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Manufacturing.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • AGGLOMERATION EFFECTS IN COLOMBIA (39 citations)
  • The Costs of Agglomeration: House and Land Prices in French Cities (28 citations)
  • Determinants of city growth in Colombia (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Microeconomics
  • Macroeconomics
  • Statistics

Gilles Duranton spends much of his time researching Economies of agglomeration, Econometrics, Welfare economics, Demography and Production function. Gilles Duranton integrates Economies of agglomeration and Land price in his studies. Gilles Duranton has included themes like Exploit, Estimator and Distribution in his Econometrics study.

His research on Production function frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Latent variable.
