Three Essays on Consumption & Geography
Author: Jonathon Lecznar
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
This document contains the first two chapters from my dissertation, titled Three Essays on Consumption and Geography, which use data provided by the Kilts Center for Marketing Data Center. Together they highlight the importance of accounting for geographic differences in new product entry to accurately measure real consumption using household-level spending data and a model to construct cost-of-living-adjusted price indices. The first chapter estimates real consumption's growth rate and volatility in light of three new facts documenting geographic differences in consumption: (1) consumers in separate markets buy different products, (2) a product's market share varies geographically conditional on relative price, and (3) product variety growth and its cyclicality varies geographically. These facts suggest that existing methods to account for product variety changes overstate the benefits to consumers by overlooking geographic diversity in consumption baskets. Quantitatively, focusing on aggregate product variety changes overstates real consumption growth by 2.75 percentage points primarily by assuming that local product entry benefits all consumers nationally. Nonetheless, accounting for product variety changes is important. Our real consumption series grows 3 percentage points faster than a statistical agency benchmark and has twice the volatility due to product variety's procyclicality. The second chapter examines how accounting for local product variety changes alters aggregate welfare estimates and our understanding of regional heterogeneity. Concentrating on in-home product spending from 2004-2014, aggregate quarterly consumption-equivalent welfare was 16.20 percent higher than a statistical agency benchmark indicates. However, focusing on aggregate statistics masks large geographic differences that statistical agency methods understate, implying greater real consumption growth inequality across regions than previously believed.

The Cultural Economy of Cities
Author: Allen J Scott
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1446264424
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Culture is big business. It is at the root of many urban regeneration schemes throughout the world, yet the economy of culture is under-theorized and under-developed. In this wide-ranging and penetrating volume, the economic logic and structure of the modern cultural industries is explained. The connection between cultural production and urban-industrial concentration is demonstrated and the book shows why global cities are the homelands of the modern cultural industries. This book covers many sectors of cultural economy, from craft industries such as clothing and furniture, to modern media industries such as cinema and music recording. The role of the global city as a source of creative and innovative energy is examined in detail, with particular attention paid to Paris and Los Angeles.
