Abstract

We investigate quantity and quality effects of agglomeration in the careers of American authors. We combine novel yearly data on publications and work location of 471 eminent authors with US Census data to analyse industry concentration and agglomeration economies from 1850 to 2000. While finding a positive overall effect of living in New York City on the publication propensity of literary works, we focus on the heterogeneity of the effect along three axes: decade, age, and length of residency in NYC. First, the effect size correlates with industry concentration and maturity. Second, authors immediately increase publications after arriving in NYC, while the effect wanes after around 10–15 years. Third, the effect is strongest for younger authors in their 20s and 30s. In addition, works published while an author lives in New York City are more likely to achieve critical acclaim and to have lasting influence in terms of present-day popularity.

曼哈顿转移:美国作者集聚的异质性生产力效应
我们研究了集聚效应在美国作家职业生涯中的数量和质量效应。我们将471位著名作家的出版物和工作地点的年度新数据与美国人口普查数据相结合,分析了1850年至2000年的产业集中和集聚经济。在发现居住在纽约市对文学作品出版倾向的总体积极影响的同时,我们关注了三个轴上影响的异质性:十年、年龄和在纽约市居住的时间。第一,效应大小与行业集中度和成熟度相关。其次,作者在到达纽约后立即增加出版物,而效果在大约10-15年后减弱。第三,对二三十岁的年轻作家的影响最大。此外,作者在纽约生活期间出版的作品更有可能获得评论界的好评,并就当今的受欢迎程度而言产生持久的影响。
