近年来，网络行为作为新兴的经济增长模式得到了广泛的分析。网络行为是个人、公司或地区合作伙伴之间合作行为的隐喻。在一个不断创新和技术迅速变化的时代，在充满活力和创新行为的"市场失灵"以及完全基于内部专门知识的增长战略成本高昂的情况下，这一模式日益成为一种参考模式。城市网络范式理论认为，通过参与网络，城市在合作活动中的互补关系和协同作用中利用规模经济。从这个意义上说，网络优势是一种真实的俱乐部商品，只有那些在经济和空间网络中是合作伙伴的经济行为者才能获得，并且在合作伙伴之间分配，尽管每个合作伙伴承担了参与网络的私人边际成本。在这个意义上，网络参与的私人边际成本与私人边际收益是不同的，网络优势也就是网络外部性。本文的目的是衡量城市网络行为对城市绩效的影响，即提供一个定量的测量网络外部性所产生的网络行为在领土系统。
In recent years, network behaviour has been analysed extensively as the emerging model for economic growth. By network behaviour, a metaphor for co-operative behaviour among individuals, corporate or territorial partners is intended. This is increasingly becoming the reference paradigm in an era of continuing innovation and fast technological change, in the presence of 'market failure' where dynamic and innovative behaviours are concerned and of the high costs of a growth strategy based solely on internal know-how. The theory of the city network paradigm claims that, through participation in the network, cities exploit scale economies in complementary relationships and synergies in co-operative activities. In this sense, network advantage is a real club good, achieved only by those economic actors who are partners in the economic and spatial network, and is distributed among partners despite the private marginal costs each partner bears to participate in the network. In this sense, the private marginal costs of network participation differ from private marginal benefits, and network advantages turn out to be network externalities. The aim of the present paper is to measure the impacts that city network behaviour has on city performance-i.e. to provide a quantitative measurement of network externalities stemming from network behaviour in territorial systems.
