摘要
According to the notion of circular and cumulative causation, which dates back to the work of economists in the 1950s, economic growth is essentially a self‐reinforcing geographically uneven process. Once initiated, for whatever reason, regional differences in economic growth tend to become self‐reinforcing and cumulative rather than self‐correcting, as a result of various increasing returns and local externality effects. As such, cumulative causation has close links with the ideas of endogenous growth and path dependence. But, since regional growth disparities do not increase without limit, cumulative causation also has its limits, including checks that derive from the spatial concentration of growth itself. Theorizing these latent countervailing forces and checks remains one of the least developed aspects of the notion of cumulative causation.
