Cities, Territories, and Inclusive Growth: Unraveling Urban–Rural Linkages in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico (2015, background): “Cities provide a favorable environment for knowledge diffusion (Glaeser, Kallal, Scheinkman, & Shleifer, 1992; Jacobs, 1969) by facilitating interactions among economic agents, which are necessary for innovation (McCann, 2007).”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, background): “The reason for this is that ICTs are complements for knowledge-intensive activities requiring highly frequent face-to-face interactions (GASPAR and GLAESER, 1998; MCCANN, 2007), while at the same they are substitutes for routinized activities (IAMMARINO and MCCANN, 2013).”
Do New Economic Geography agglomeration shadows underlie current population dynamics across the urban hierarchy (2009, background): “Recent changes in transportation costs (Glaeser and Kohlhase 2004), technology, and the nature of transactions costs and firm interactions (McCann and Shefer 2004; McCann 2007), may have caused shifts in spatial growth dynamics.”
Location determinants of high-growth firms (2015, background): “However, if information technologies are complements for faceto-face contact (Gaspar and Glaeser 1998; McCann 2007), then recent trends may support the formation of high-growth firms in urban settings.”
Globalisation: Countries, Cities and Multinationals (2009, background): “More specifically, the spatial network structure of the global airline system determines the ease and frequency (McCann 2007) with which business and corporate decision-makers are able to engage in direct face-to-face contact with similar decision-makers in other locations (McCann 2008; Aguilera 200”
Smart specialisation, regional growth and applications to EU cohesion policy (2011, background): “The reason for this is that ICTs are complements for knowledge-intensive activities requiring highly frequent face-to-face interactions (Gaspar and Glaeser 1998; McCann 2007), while at the same they are substitutes for routinised activities (McCann 2011).”
