Does Traffic Congestion Slow the Economy? (2011, background): “In general, agglomeration theory holds that as transaction costs are lowered through physical proximity or more rapid interaction, firms and individuals benefit from positive externalities and higher productivity through synergies (Fujita and Thisse 2002). However, as the density of interaction oppo”

Empirical Studies in Industrial Location: An Assessment of Their Methods and Results (2009, background): “First, the fact that the New Economic Geography concluded that agglomeration economies arise mainly at local level and decrease as distance increases (Fujita et al. 1999, Fujita and Thisse 2002).”
Entrepreneurship and network externalities (2005, background): “Traditionally, economies of scale and scope and the resulting reduction in transaction costs are identified as the main reasons for these agglomerations (Baum and Singh, 1994; Fujita et al., 1999; Fujita and Thisse, 2002; Greenhut et al., 1987; Wade, 1995).”

Regional Specialization, Urban Hierarchy, and Commuting Costs (2006, neutral): “7See Fujita and Thisse (2002) for various arguments explaining why firms want to be agglomerated in a CBD. consume land and commute to the regional CBD in which jobs and varieties of the differentiated good are available.”
