为什么有的城市专业化，有的城市多元化？城市专业化和多样性的优势和劣势是什么？随着时间的推移，城市的结构、公司和人的活动在多大程度上发生了变化？城市的行业构成如何影响其演变？为了回答这些问题和相关问题，我们首先从关于城市及其活动构成的实证文献中提炼出一些关键的程式化事实。然后，我们将回顾研究这些问题的不同理论，并研究这些理论在多大程度上有助于理解经验规律。
Why are some cities specialised and others diversified? What are the advantages and disadvantages of urban specialisation and diversity? To what extent do the structure of cities and the activities of firms and people in them change over time? How does the sectoral composition of cities influence their evolution? To answer these and related questions, we first distil some key stylised facts from the empirical literature on cities and the composition of their activities. We then turn to a review of different theories looking at such issues, and study the extent to which these theories contribute to the understanding of the empirical regularities.
