Dataset Description:
This dataset supports the Econometrica paper by Gilles Duranton and Diego Puga (2023), which develops a model of urban growth driven by human capital spillovers, constrained by planning regulations, and shaped by city-specific heterogeneity. The dataset includes simulation scripts and empirical data used to calibrate and validate the model. It allows replication of results on the impact of urban planning constraints and counterfactual policy changes on productivity and national output.
