A Spatial Knowledge Economy (2019, unknown): “3Abdel-Rahman and Anas (2004) survey the literature on systems of cities.”
Spatial disparities in developing countries: cities, regions, and international trade (2003, background): “This issue has been addressed in the literature (see Abdel-Rahman and Anas 2003 for a survey).”
The comparative advantage of cities (2020, unknown): “Prior systems-of-cities theories have overwhelmingly described sectoral composition in polarized terms (Abdel-Rahman and Anas, 2004).”
Optimal Spatial Policies, Geography, and Sorting* (2018, unknown): “See Abdel-Rahman and Anas (2004) for a review. More recent studies include Albouy (2012), Albouy et al. (2019) and Eeckhout and Guner (2017). A focus in some of these papers is to study the extensive margin of city creation.”

Regional Specialization, Urban Hierarchy, and Commuting Costs (2006, unknown): “However, (14) is an equilibrium if and only if θ ∈ [2/T, 3/T ] because each variable must be real and must take its values in [0, 1].”
Urbanization and city growth: The role of institutions (2007, background): “…doesn't deal with issues of city size distributions (Krugman and Elizondo, 1996; Fujita et al., 1999), although there are attempts to integrate certain aspects of the two approaches in empirical (Au and Henderson, 2006) and theoretical contexts (see Abdel-Rahman and Anas, 2004 for a review).”
Urbanization and Growth (2005, unknown): “A thorough review of static models is in Abdel-Rahman and Anas (2004), so our treatment focuses on what we need to analyze growth, and later urbanization and development.”
