Abstract: This dissertation is comprised of three chapters focusing on the spatial distribution of human capital across cities in the US. The first chapter investigates the consequences of an increase in local human capital in local economies. The second chapter explains how location choices of highly educated immigrants and natives are different. The last chapter examines whether a large research university generate spillovers to workers in local economies. These three chapters aim to improve our understanding of the uneven distribution of human capital.
