- 요약This dissertation leverages new opportunities - afforded by computational sociology - for the study of globalization and inequality. Using digital archives and computational methods, it examines the impact of globalization with an increased precision that focuses on cities rather than countries, several decades rather than snapshot years, and remote parts of the globe that are understudied.An extensive literature has developed around cities and globalization which presents cities both as early indicators of globalization trends and as primary nodes in a globally connected world. Sometimes called the world-city system, this literature combines a network perspective on globalization with the idea that cities function as the main units of the global economy. The central obstacle to the study of the world-city system is data collection, where past studies were limited by small, selective samples. I use new computational tools that allow me to analyze nearly three decades of company-location decisions recorded in the LexisNexis Corporate Affiliations database (1993-2020). Substantively, these technical innovations allow me to test entirely new hypotheses pertaining to (1) changes in the world-city system since 1993, (2) the effect of global connections on city development, and (3) industry differences in how cities are connected worldwide.
