Contrasts in agglomeration: proto-industrial, industrial and post-industrial forms compared (2003, background): “Several different conceptual devices have been deployed to capture what Richardson describes as ‘the dissipation of agglomeration economies or at least a major extension of their spatial range’ (Richardson, 1995, quoted in Parr, 2002a: 729).”
Summing Small Cities Does Not Make a Large City: Polycentric Urban Regions and the Provision of Cultural, Leisure and Sports Amenities (2008, background): “If this was possible, it would imply that external economies are equally present in PURs as in monocentric city regions, although in that case, given the physical spacing of cities, they could perhaps better be referred to as ‘regional externalities’ (Parr, 2002), or the more broad ‘urban network ex”
The Distinctive City: Pitfalls in the Pursuit of Differential Advantage (2009, background): “required with a range of business collaborators, suppliers and specialised support services (such as venture capital, patent offices and suppliers of market intelligence) to generate sector-specific ‘localisation economies’ (Malmberg and Maskell, 2002; Parr, 2002).”
Stretching the concept of ‘borrowed size’ (2017, background): “Interestingly, some scholars have suggested that agglomeration costs are confined more to the city boundaries than the spatial range of agglomeration benefits (Parr, 2002).”
The Rise of Second-Rank Cities: What Role for Agglomeration Economies? (2015, background): “Externalities accrue to functionally connected urban areas, that thus reach economies of scale without incurring the costs associated with (excessive) urban size (Phelps et al., 2001; Veneri & Burgalassi, 2012; and, for a conceptual review, Parr, 2002).”
Internationalization of private firms: environmental turbulence and organizational strategies and resources (2004, background): “Firms located in ‘urban’ areas may benefit from ‘agglomeration economies’ (Marshall 1920, Parr 2002) and spatial externalities (i.e. specialized infrastructures, information, network of suppliers, specialized labour and knowledge, and concentration of existing exporters that may promote exporting…”
An analysis of urban size and territorial location effects on employment probabilities: the spanish case (2009, background): “A shift in the national economy towards agglomeration sensitive goods and services (say, out of agriculture) also favours the growth of larger concentrations (see Parr, 2002).”
Cities and National Economic Growth: A Reappraisal (2005, neutral): “As Parr (2002) points out, the spatial reach of agglomeration economies is often left undefined.”
