Abstract
The study of economic agglomeration is again a concern in the urban economic literature, especially in describing urban areas and better econometric approaches. This study improves the size of cities to become urban and suburban, reflecting the flow of commuting, using the 2010 and 2015 Landscan data to measure economic density better and reduce bias due to measurement errors. Empirically, using this density and using the 2SLS estimation technique with instrument variables in the form of earthquake risk and ruggedness measures, the result of a city twice as large can increase wages 61 percent. This result is higher than most other literature because the sample only covers urban areas. This study also shows that workers with characteristics such as higher education, the formal sector, the service sector, and white collar jobs get more enormous benefits in urban areas.JEL Classification: J24, J31, O18How to Cite:Sari, M.

经济集聚的研究再次成为城市经济学文献中的一个关注点,特别是在描述城市地区和更好的计量经济学方法方面。本研究利用2010年和2015年的Landscan数据更好地测量经济密度,并减少由于测量误差造成的偏差,从而提高了城市和郊区的规模,反映了通勤流量。根据经验,使用这种密度,并使用2SLS估计技术和地震风险和坚固性措施形式的工具变量,结果是一个两倍大的城市可以增加61%的工资。这一结果高于大多数其他文献,因为样本仅覆盖城市地区。该研究还表明,具有高等教育、正规部门、服务部门和白领等特征的工人在城市地区获得了更多的巨大利益。JEL分类:J24, J31, o18如何引用:Sari, M.
