Eight centuries of creative cities

Applications of Econometrics · March 2026

A team project on persistence and mobility in historical urban creative clusters from 1000 to 1800.

What I worked on

  • Worked with historical city data using R and R Markdown.
  • The team analysed century-interval quartile and decile transition matrices and city/year fixed-effects residuals.
  • The broader project also included IV/2SLS and Poisson replication exercises.
