People to track

Instead of giving lists of papers, consider looking at recent papers by some of the following (in alphabetical order, and with all apologies to the amazing researchers not yet added)

A good survey on these is Quantitative Spatial Economics (2017, Annual Review) by Redding and Rossi-Hansberg
