productivity

Computes productivity levels in each location

Develops a General Equilibrium (GE) Model, which estimates key variables such as wages, the number of residents and workers, the prices of the floor space, and its distribution between commercial and residential use, as in Ahlfeldt et al., (2015) <doi:10.3982/ECTA10876>. By doing so, the model allows understanding the economic influence of different urban policies.
