Dataset Description:
This dataset supports the Econometrica article by Yuhei Miyauchi (2024), which investigates the role of matching frictions and market thickness in shaping spatial agglomeration through firm-to-firm trade in Japan. Using panel data that tracks supplier-client relationships before and after supplier bankruptcies, the study quantifies the impact of geographic supplier density on rematching speed. The dataset includes firm-level trade and location data, simulation outputs from the general equilibrium model, and empirical estimates that validate the thick market externality. The materials enable replication of the reduced-form analyses and the calibration of the spatial equilibrium model that links population density to regional wages.
