Abstract In a seminal contribution, Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (2001) evaluate the
effect of property rights institutions on national income using mortality rates of early
European settlers as an instrument for the risk of capital expropriation. Going back to ...
Across cities, estimates of local land rents and firm productivity are inferable from wage and
housing-cost data using knowledge of the housing cost function. Differences in amenity
values are capitalized into the sum of local land values and federal-tax payments. A ...

Abstract. The wage gap between Francophone and Anglophone men from 1970 and 2000

The standard revealed-preference estimate of a city's quality of life is proportional to that
city's cost-of-living relative to its wage-level. Adjusting estimates to account for federal taxes,
non-housing costs, and non-labor income produces more plausible quality-of-life ...

Abstract Because federal income taxes are based on nominal incomes, workers with the
same real incomes pay more taxes in high-cost areas than in low-cost areas, without
receiving more in benefits. In the United States, workers in cities offering above-average ...
