You can also look back at my lists of 10 #UrbanEconomics articles published in 2023 (, 2022 (, 2021 (, 2020 (, 2019 ( & 2018 (.
These are 10 of my favourite #UrbanEconomics articles published in 2018, in alphabetical order. Inspired by @ProfNoto's list of 10 Economics articles so I won’t repeat 2 outstanding spatial papers on his list (Chetty & @nhendren82, QJE; Donaldson, AER).

i) @ezrao, @HansbergRossi, Sarte & Trachter, @JPolEcon. Firms choose plant density in model of trade-off of distance to consumers vs span-of-control, fixed costs & cannibalization; productive firms place more plants in dense high-rent areas, less elsewhere
journals.uchicago.edu
To decide the number, size, and location of its plants, a firm balances the benefit of delivering goods from multiple plants with the cost of setting up and managing these plants and the potential...

Fantastic papers by @MilanQuentel, @PonsardJade & @anaisfabre_econ awarded the winner and runner-up prizes for the UEA Best Student paper. Very different but all with original interesting question & careful implementation. I very much enjoyed being part of the prize committee.
