• Planners as Market Actors: Rethinking State–Market Relations in Land and Property (2010, background): “Left to itself, this spontaneity produces enormous and indeed unpredictable urban change, whose implications may not be immediately apparent (Webster & Lai, 2003).”
• Managing Markets for Public Service: The Role of Mixed Public–Private Delivery of City Services (2008, background): “Government plays an important market management role when contracting (Hefetz and Warner 2004), but transactions costs can be reduced if there are established legal and market institutions to ensure success (Webster & Lai, 2003).”

• Does high-speed rail accessibility influence residential property prices? Hedonic estimates from southern Taiwan (2010, background): “…property development of land adjacent to MTR stations with inexpensive fares by rich country standards, thereby achieving a revenue structure that resembles the theoretical ideal of land rent covering fixed costs and user charges covering marginal costs (Webster and Lai, 2003, pp. 111–112).”
• Beyond the market versus planning dichotomy: Understanding privatisation and its reverse in US cities (2007, background): “Although cities face the challenge of congestion that creates public goods problems, they also enjoy the potential of market solutions based on agglomeration economies and voluntary bargaining (Webster & Lai, 2003).”
