本文探讨了纽约市从一个低端、大批量的服装制造中心到国际时尚之都的演变。借鉴进化经济学的路径依赖理论，它认为，纽约市的成衣服装最初的专业化，塑造了其随后的发展，作为一个面向大众市场的行业。然而，与此同时，它表明了关键的机构行为者如何能够通过培养和促进自己的本地设计人才，在关键的历史关头改变该行业的发展进程。因此，本文对纽约作为国际时尚中心地位的研究，对区域发展理论和实践中的路径依赖解释提出了挑战。它认为，产业并不受制于过去的选择，并说明了一个产业的起源如何可以塑造，但不是过度决定其经济发展轨迹。版权所有联合编辑和Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2004。
This article examines the evolution of New York City from a low-end, high-volume apparel manufacturing hub to an international fashion capital. Drawing on evolutionary economic theories of path-dependence, it argues that New York City's initial specialization in ready-to-wear apparel has shaped its subsequent development as a mass-market oriented industry. At the same time, however, it shows how key institutional actors were able to alter the industry's course of development at critical historical junctures by nurturing and promoting their own local design talent. As such, the article's investigation into New York's ascendance as an international fashion center challenges the dominant interpretation of path-dependence in regional development theory and practice. It contends that industries are not held captive to past choices and illustrates how an industry's origins can shape but not over-determine its economic development trajectory.
