• W2912196062 abstract "This dissertation consists of three independent articles. The first chapter “Giants and Midgets: the Effect of Public Goods’ Provision on Urban Population Concentration” analyses population distribution within a system of cities with availability of public goods in the country and provides an explanation for the existence of urban giants in developing economies. The article argues that (1) differences in public goods’ provision cause excessive growth of the primate cities; (2) better provision of public goods at the national level decreases the difference between growth rates of the primate agglomeration and the hinterland; (3) consequently, low provision of public goods at the national level leads to the emergence of urban giants. Regression analysis suggests that lower provision of public goods at the national level causes excessive population growth of the largest city of the country, and a subsequent further growth of urban giants can potentially attract even more migrants to the primate cities and halt urbanisation process in the rest of the country. These findings are especially relevant for developing countries, where rapid urbanisation is currently taking place. The second chapter “The Puzzle of Urban Sprawl. Now in 3d” documents a striking paradox: cities occupy larger areas in developed countries, where land is relatively more expensive than capital, while urban agglomerations in Africa and Asia do not sprawl wide despite low land prices. This paper presents a model analysing the markets for formal housing and its production factors. The main innovation of the model is distinguishing between agricultural and housing land. The abundance of public amenities in the city determines the intensiveness of the land improvements that have to be done privately before erecting houses. Inclusion of land improvements into the analysis affects the price ratio of inputs used for housing construction and explains the capital-land paradox. The final chapter “Burnt by the sun. Explaining suicide in developing countries” takes advantage of the macro dataand analyses fundamental factors determining cross-country variations in suicide rates. The main novelty of the study is introduction of ultra-violet radiation as a key factor affecting incidence of suicide. As a result, this paper documents a striking contrast between the major determinants of suicide in developed and developing countries. While biology explains a substantial part of cross-country variation in high-income countries, suicide rates in the developing world are primarily driven by a range of social factors (e.g., adult mortality). These findings are crucial for designing an efficient suicide-preventing policy." @default.
