Unobserved demand shocks that vary across cities, e.g., increased demand by “tweens” and their parents in Contra Costa, according to a couple of newspaper articles. True Model where Assume Empirical Specification
Vietnamese manicurists are drawn to cities with positive demand shocks and away from those with negative shocks. Increases in demand increase the number of native manicurists. Displacement effect Upward bias: the expected value of the estimated displacement effect is less negative than the true displacement effect.
