Urban Magic: Concluding Remarks --Notes --Bibliography --IndexJust as we learn from, influence, and are influenced by others, our social interactions drive economic growth in cities, regions, and nations--determining where households live, how children learn, and what cities and firms produce. From Neighborhoods to Nations synthesizes the recent economics of social interactions for anyone seeking to understand the contributions of this important area. Integrating theory and empirics, Yannis Ioannides explores theoretical and empirical tools that economists use to investigate social interactions, and he shows how a familiarity with these tools is essential for interpreting findings. The book makes work in the economics of social interactions accessible to other social scientists, including sociologists, political scientists, and urban planning and policy researchers. Focusing on individual and household location decisions in the presence of interactions, Ioannides shows how research on cities and neighborhoods can explain communities' composition and spatial form, as well as changes in productivity, industrial specialization, urban expansion, and national growth. The author examines how researchers address the challenge of separating personal, social, and cultural forces from economic ones. Ioannides provides a toolkit for the next generation of inquiry, and he argues that quantifying the impact of social interactions in specific contexts is essential for grasping their scope and use in informing policy. Revealing how empirical work on social interactions enriches our understanding of cities as engines of innovation and economic growth, From Neighborhoods to Nations carries ramifications throughout the social sciences and beyond.Social integrationSociological aspectsEconomicsSociological aspectsAlonsoЍillsЍuth model.Duranton model.LucasВossi-Hansberg model.Thomas Schelling.Zipf's law.agglomeration.archipelago.autarkic cities.city geometry.city size distribution.city size.city.community choice.community.contextual effects.decisions.diversification.econometrics.economic geography.economic growth.economic integration.economics.empirics.firms.geography.graph theory.hierarchy principle.housing.human capital spillovers.industrial specialization.intercity trade.job matching.labor market frictions.localization.location decisions.microneighborhood.neighborhood choice.neighborhood effects.neighborhood.physical capital.physical space.productivity.racial preferences.risk pooling.site rents.social effects.social interactions.social learning.social networks.social structure.spatial aggregation.spatial clustering.spatial econometrics.spatial economic activity.spatial equilibrium.spatial interactions.spatial structure.synthetic neighborhood.total factor productivity.urban archipelago.urban economy.urban evolution.urban expansion.urban externalities.urban growth.urban infrastructure.urban networks.urban social fabric.urban spatial structure.urban specialization.urban structure.urban transition.urban transportation.urban wage premium.urbanization.Social integrationSociological aspects.EconomicsSociological aspects.306.3Ioannides Yannis Menelaos479408MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811045303321From neighborhoods to nations260368UNINA
