‘Urban bias’: A fresh look
本特刊文章聚焦不符合常规的案例，放弃典型事实方法，强调时空变化，发现早期城市偏向文献中的遗漏和错误，呼吁关注政治制度的经济作用、资产市场的政治角色以及技术变革的政治意义。
Focusing on non‐conforming cases, the articles in this special issue abandon the method of stylised facts and highlight instead variation over space and time. In so doing, they detect errors of commission and omission in the earlier literature on urban bias. They call for a focus on the economic role of political institutions, the political role of markets for assets, and the political significance of technical change.
