Citations in the corpus

• City festivals: creativity and control in staged urban experiences (2011, background): “Festivals may be strategically conceived with the purpose of promoting a ‘distinctive city’ (Markusen and Schrock, 2006), distinctiveness being an important feature of the experience economy.”
• Subaltern Urbanisation in India (2017, background): “However, as Markusen and Gwaisda (1993) have argued, even world cities differ depending on their domestic urban systems and many, as shown in Markusen and Schrock (1999), are specialising away from advanced producer services.”
• Rebalancing the Spatial Economy: The Challenge for Regional Theory (2015, background): “…many larger cities across Europe have seen a slowdown in relative growth (DIJKSTRA et al., 2013), while in the USA the growth and development paths of cities appear to have become increasingly divergent (MARKUSEN and SCHROCK, 2006; HOBOR, 2013; STORPER, 2013; STORPER et al., 2014; MORETTI, 2013).”
• The Distinctive City: Pitfalls in the Pursuit of Differential Advantage (2009, background): “A more considered economic rationale for `differentiation' can be pieced together from other sources (Buck et al, 2005; Florida, 2004; Leadbeater, 1999; Markusen and Schrock, 2006; OECD, 2001; 2006; Storper, 1997).”
