Institutional Fragmentation and Metropolitan Coordination in Latin American Cities : Are There Links with City Productivity?

This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of institutional fragmentation and metropolitan coordination on urban productivity in Latin American Cities. The use of night-time lights satellite imagery and high resolution population data allow us to use a definition of metropolitan area...
