==Notes for further improvement==
*Airports, cement factories, banana plantations, police/fire stations, hospitals/drug stores, etc.
*We could think about commercial applications. Perhaps locating plants/facilities that are/aren't in clusters with a view to buying or selling them?
== R&R ==
After some inquiries, we heard from Bill Kerr, the associate editor, that the paper had new reviews on Aug 11th. On Aug 23rd, we recieved an email titled "Journal of Economic Geography - Decision on Manuscript ID JOEG-2020-449" giving us an R&R. Overall, the R&R is very positive.
Bill's comments:
* Referees aligned on central issue of Census places
* Too short: Wants application and suggests ("not contractual requirements"):
** Diversity within and between in terms of types of VC investment (e.g., Biotech vs. ICT in Waltham)
** Patent citiations made between VC backed firms
Reviewer 1's comments (excluding minor things):
* Explain projection (should have said it was WGS1984)
* Starting units: Suggests MSA level. Suppose cities that are close... can we find cases?
* Identify clusters that have grown over time
* Maybe try a cluster-level analysis
* Is ruling out the first second-difference too limiting? Can a city be a cluster? (Vegas, baby?, Or starting from CMSA, probably yes in some sense.)
* Discuss cluster boundaries (they aren't hard and fast: "think of these clusters as the kernels or seeds of VC-backed
startup hotspots")
Reviewer 2's comments (excluding minor things):
* Starting Units. Suggests MSA.
* Explain R2 method better. He didn't say try cluster-level but that might be helpful to him too.
* Change language (back) to microgeographies!
* Tighter connection to lit. He gives papers to start.
* Discuss overlap of clusters (a la patent clustering). Check findings in Kerr and Kominers!!!
* Discuss counterfactuals/cause-and-effect/application etc. Show/discuss that we didn't just find office parks.
