| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the literature on agglomeration and urban economics, it is known that wages are, on average, higher in larger cities. Many empirical studies find the "urban wage premium," which describes the positive relationship between wages and city size. In order to investigate the mechanism of urban wage premium, this study proposes a new decomposition approach using matched employer-employee data. This study finds that agglomeration economies contribute not only to firms' total factor productivity, but also to workers' dynamic skill upgrading, which explains why wages are higher in larger cities.
