This paper documents the negative link between the age of Russian cities and their average wage. This link is robust to
various definitions of city age and sample censuring, the inclusion of regional and time fixed effects, dependent variable
spatial lag and many urban characteristics. This link is revealed especially for cities founded after the Soviet industrialization
and for upper quintiles of cities by their average wage. To determine a mechanism behind the established fact,
hypotheses as to spatial patterns of economic performance are discussed, including the increasing return hypothesis, the
institutions hypothesis and the geography hypothesis. Following the sophisticated version of the geography hypothesis, a
model of growth in n-city and two-sector economy is developed. The model replicates the link between age and per
capita income and contains testable hypotheses that enable one to check whether a mechanism outlined in the model is
behind the link between city age and wage. Our empirical strategy is based on a quasi-experiment, in which the treatment
effect is made by time and various age groups of the cities are broken up into treatment and control groups. The
results are strongly in favor of the sophisticated geography hypothesis. The revealed mechanism suggests that the changing
spatial patterns of wage differentials are explained by the changing remaining stocks of natural resources. Older cities
are getting relatively poorer due to the shrinking of their remaining resource stocks, while new cities are emerging in
resource-rich territories with the respective income advantages.

This paper discusses a mechanism underlying the input allocations and income distributions across Russian cities of different ages. The empirical strategy is based on using the extended version of the Glaeser-Gottlieb model to guide the interpretation of regression estimates. The results are in line with previous evidence. Newer cities tend to pay higher real wages, ...

Paper discusses a number of hypotheses as potential explanations of the spatial income distribution in Russia. The hypotheses include the increasing return hypothesis, the institutions hypothesis and the simple and sophisticated versions of the geography hypothesis. According to the existing evidence, the sophisticated geography hypothesis fits best Russian data. This suggests that the changes in ...

The paper investigates the efficient extraction path in a partial equilibrium model with exhaustible resource, the usage of which is characterized by return flows, and a backstop to analyze the sequence of the resource use. It is shown that in the presence of users with different return flow coefficients Herfindahl rule can be violated as ...

Paper presents an optimal control model with the stocks of two resource: one is the stock of exhaustible resource (groundwater) and the other is the stock of waste water which is a by-product of water use. Waste water could be re-used but this resource has a higher marginal cost than the groundwater. The characteristics of ...

Initially, daylight saving time (DST) was proposed for energy consumption savings by adjusting human activity to changes in lightening during the year. However, many countries began to cancel this policy as its effectiveness was not justified. In Russia DST was cancelled in 2011, and in 2014 in almost all regions of Russia, the time reckoning ...
