  • 2020/07: What do divided cities have in common? An international comparison of income segregation

    Paolo Veneri, Andre Comandon, Miquel-Àngel Garcia-López, Michiel N. Daams

    This paper provides a comparative assessment of income segregation within cities in 12 countries. We use spatial entropy indexes based on small-scale gridded income data and consistent definition of city boundaries to ensure international comparability of our segregation measures. Results show considerable variation in the levels of income segregation across...

    2020/05: Does media coverage affect governments’preparation for natural disasters?

    Pierre Magontier

    While natural hazards have never been so frequent in modern history, the political economy of disaster preparation remains largely understudied. To prepare for natural disasters, local governments can adopt mitigation measures (e.g., infrastructure elevation, retrofitting, shelter construction, etc.). However, in doing so, there is a trade-off between risk reduction and...

    2020/03: Commuting time and the gender gap in labor market participation

    Lídia Farré, Jordi Jofre-Monseny, Juan Torrecillas

    This paper investigates the contribution of increasing travel times to the persistent gender gap in labor market participation. In doing so, we estimate the labor supply elasticity of commuting time from a sample of men and women in US cities using microdata from the Census for the last decades. To...

    2019/10: Building(s and) cities: delineating urban areas with a machine learning algorithm

    Daniel Arribas-Bel, Miquel-Àngel Garcia-López, Elisabet Viladecans-Marsal

    This paper proposes a novel methodology for delineating urban areas based on a machine learning algorithm that groups buildings within portions of space of sufficient density. To do so, we use the precise geolocation of all 12 million buildings in Spain. We exploit building heights to create a new dimension...

    2019/05: Do short-term rental platforms affect housing markets? Evidence from Airbnb in Barcelona

    Miquel-Àngel Garcia-López, Jordi Jofre-Monseny, Rodrigo Martínez Mazza, Mariona Segú

    In this paper, we assess the impact of the arrival and expansion of Airbnb on housing rents and prices in the city of Barcelona. Examining highly detailed data on rents and both transaction and posted prices, we use several econometric approaches that exploit the exact timing and geography of Airbnb...

    2018/23: Wage differentials by bargaining regime in Spain (2002-2014). An analysis using matched employer-employee data

    Raul Ramos, Esteban Sanromá, Hipólito Simón

    This research examines wage differentials associated to different collective bargaining regimes in Spain and their evolution over time based on matched employer-employee microdata. The primary objective is to analyse the wage differentials associated to the presence of a firm-level agreement and how they have evolved, taking into account the changes...
