with notions of urban specialization and product cycles: new industries prosper in large, diverse metropolitan areas, but with maturity, production de-centralizes to smaller, more specialized cities. For mature industries, there is also a high degree of persistence in individual employment patterns across

"... In an economy experiencing endogenous economic growth and exogenous population growth, we explore two main themes: how urbanization affects efficiency of the growth process and how growth affects patterns of urbanization. Localized information spillovers promote agglomeration and human capital accu ..."
