• How did urban polycentricity and dispersion affect economic productivity? A case study of 306 Chinese cities (2018, background): “…with Phelps’s (2004) observation that, while agglomeration and external economies are usually conceived at the local scale, agglomeration at the regional scale arises with the emergence of new transport, communication and production technologies/models (Phelps, 2004; Duranton & Puga, 2004).”
• New Firm Entry, Survival, and Growth in the United States: A Comparison of Urban, Suburban, and Rural Areas (2008, background): “Advances in communications technology and declining transportation costs have extended the benefits of urbanization geographically without reducing centralcity congestion (Atkinson, 1998; Phelps, 2004).”
• Global cluster networks—foreign direct investment flows from Canada to China (2014, background): “Cluster-based linkages between city-regions may, for instance, provide simultaneous access to different forms of agglomeration economies (Phelps, 2004; Parr, 2004).”
• Stretching the concept of ‘borrowed size’ (2017, background): “Undeniably, the borrowed size concept is generally employed by authors that study the fortunes of small- or medium-sized cities, suburban places or edge cities – Phelps (2004) even refers to some of these as ‘banal’ places.”
• A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “…encompassing more diffuse forms of agglomeration, especially with regard to the type and geographic scale at which external economies become manifest, and the extent to which these are shared across regions and localities (Phelps and Ozawa, 2003; Phelps, 2004; Malmberg and Maskell, 2006).”
