Schumpeterian dynamics and metropolitan-scale productivity

Metro-scale productivity - theories and evidence: city size theory and empirical evidence of urban productivity dynamic capitalism - theories and evidence. Research design, data and model development: dynamic process and longitudinal design conceptual framework data sources, unit of analysis and sample selection model development variables and their measurements data and conceptual issues. Empirical results and interpretation: analysis of zero-order correlations dynamic processes in metro-scale productivity growth robustness tests of dynamic process in growing and declining regions robustness tests of dynamic process across US Census regions locating the emergence of key effects in time supplemental robustness tests - non-linear specification. Summary and policy implications. Appendices: MSAs and PMSAs analysed (187) information technology industries two-digit SIC manufacturing industries two-digit SIC services industries two-digit SIC industries (73) in metropolitan economy.
