He has served as Director of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government, and Director of the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston. Glaeser has published dozens of papers on cities economic growth, law and economics. In particular, his work has focused on the determinants of city growth and the role of cities as centers of idea transmission.
