Delighted to share that our paper with Atsushi, accepted at the JPE, is now available online and open access (https://t.co/ajb8bFDt17). Using Hiroshima after the atomic bombing, we highlight the role of agglomeration forces and expectations in urban recovery.
Hiroshima is my hometown, and I dedicate this work to those who helped rebuild the city... and to my grandparents, who survived the bombing and witnessed Hiroshima's recovery.
広島の復興に尽力されたすべての方々、そして被爆を乗り越え復興の歩みを見届けた祖父母にこの論文を捧げます。#広島
