Title: Cities and Specialization: Evidence from South Asia
Notes: No theoretical model. Uses non-parametric method called roughness penalty (Silverman 1982 referenced). Specialization is basically measured by a Simpson Index-essentially Sum of squared number of hours in each occupation divided by squared number of total hours. City proximity is basically an integral of the product of urban households and distance to a specific household. They analyze how a household's and village specialization indexes are affected by city proximity.
