Stretching the concept of ‘borrowed size’ (2017, result): “Since it can be argued that the residual derived from a regression only including size and country dummies may capture other aspects than borrowed size, we re-estimated our residuals by also including the transport index, and GDP per capita (see footnote 4).”
The impact of European Cohesion Policy in urban and rural regions (2017, background): “During the programming period 2000–06 there were 257 NUTS-2 regions divided into 1233 NUTS-3 regions.5 Table 2 presents summary statistics for per capita GDP in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms at NUTS-3 level by country for the year before the recognition of the Objective 1 status (1999 for EU-1”
Entrepreneurship and economic development in cities (2015, methodology): “This study contributes to a large literature on regional economic development and entrepreneurship (Szerb et al. 2013; Fritsch and Schindele 2011; Dijkstra et al. 2013; Glaeser et al. 2014).”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, background): “Moreover, intermediate and smaller regions account for well over half, and also an increasing share, of economic growth in OECD countries (OECD, 2012b), and particularly in Europe (DIJKSTRA et al., 2013).”
The role of collaborative networks in supporting the innovation performances of lagging-behind European regions (2018, background): “labour, higher cost of living and insufficient infrastructure investments (Dijkstra et al., 2013).”
The Rise of Second-Rank Cities: What Role for Agglomeration Economies? (2015, background): “Within this recent debate, agglomeration economies are called upon to explain the relatively better performance of second-rank cities, while diseconomies of scale are identified as the cause of the limited success of large ones (Dijkstra et al., 2013).”
Spatial inequalities and policies in South Africa: Place-based or people-centred? (2017, background): “On the other hand, it has been argued that governments should have explicit spatial targeting policies because there is potential for growth in many regions besides big cities (Barca, 2009; Dijkstra, 2013; OECD, 2009; Storper, 2010).”
Big or Small Cities? On city size and economic growth (2017, unknown): “In recent years, however, this assertion has increasingly been called into question by a raft of empirical studies (Dijkstra, Garcilazo, and McCann 2013; ESPON 2012; McCann and Acs 2011).”
Rebalancing the Spatial Economy: The Challenge for Regional Theory (2015, background): “At the same time, many larger cities across Europe have seen a slowdown in relative growth (DIJKSTRA et al., 2013), while in the USA the growth and development paths of cities appear to have become increasingly divergent (MARKUSEN and SCHROCK, 2006; HOBOR, 2013; STORPER, 2013; STORPER et al., 2014;…”
Economic and Social Development along the Urban-Rural Continuum: New Opportunities to Inform Policy (2021, background): “Indeed, as Partridge (2010) and Dijkstra et al. (2013), Dijkstra et al. (2015) point out, intermediate-sized cities also have the advantage of generally being the fastest growing cities across the developed world.”
Static vs. dynamic agglomeration economies. Spatial context and structural evolution behind urban growth (2016, background): “Dependent variable: urban productivity increases Model (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)”
