Abstract

Abstract We focus on the extent to which polycentric urban regions can substitute for the agglomeration economies provided by large cities. Building on an open‐source software tool that helps identifying polycentric developments in urban regions, we analyze the spatial structure (in terms of size, dispersion and polycentricity) of 94 regions across 34 European countries and link this to their level of total factor productivity. We find that both more polycentric regions and more dispersed regions are associated with lower productivity levels.

多中心的生产力效应:对欧洲城市区域的系统分析

摘要本文主要研究多中心城市区域在多大程度上可以替代大城市提供的集聚经济。基于一个有助于识别城市地区多中心发展的开源软件工具，我们分析了34个欧洲国家94个地区的空间结构(在规模、分散和多中心性方面)，并将其与它们的全要素生产率水平联系起来。我们发现，多中心地区和分散地区的生产力水平都较低。

期刊介绍： Regional Science is the official journal of the Regional Science Association International. It encourages high quality scholarship on a broad range of topics in the field of regional science. These topics include, but are not limited to, behavioral modeling of location, transportation, and migration decisions, land use and urban development, interindustry analysis, environmental and ecological analysis, resource management, urban and regional policy analysis, geographical information systems, and spatial statistics. The journal publishes papers that make a new contribution to the theory, methods and models related to urban and regional (or spatial) matters.
