要旨：This paper studies the evolution of the spatial distribution of population and employment within a city. We exploit an unusually large shock to city structure: the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which completely destroyed its city center but not its periphery. Newly digitizing spatially granular data, we first document that the city center strongly recovered just about five years after being destroyed. Furthermore, we show that this rebuilding is not well explained by the fundamental locational characteristics of the city center. We then develop and calibrate a novel dynamic urban economics model to further investigate the mechanisms underlying the recovery. Our findings suggest that strong agglomeration economies, together with individuals’ expectations in the recovery, created a strong incentive to reconstruct the city center despite its catastrophic shock.
