Network effects are highly uncommon and only occur within certain goods types such as telephone networks and software. These effects are mentioned twice(?) in the article but never articulated. Please could somebody explain where the externalities arise or remove the phrases.

Really light on citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.113.0 (talk) 00:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Berliant has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

This essay needs a lot of work on precision. Basic references here such as Henderson (1974), Beckmann (who began the pure agglomeration externality literature of consumer agglomeration), Ellison and Glaeser, Mossay and Picard (following up on Beckmann). Urbanization externalities are mentioned but never defined. Jane Jacobs could be cited for that. And the New Economic Geography should be compared and contrasted.

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Maybe it would be better to rename article to Economics of agglomeration. That way makes it easier to talk about economies of agglomeration and economies of agglomeration. Jonpatterns (talk) 11:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts Economies of agglomeration is probably fine with a little more copy editing. Jonpatterns (talk) 20:56, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The use of "economies" and "economics" may not be trivial or fully synonymous. As I have seen here in Wikipedia "economies" seem to describe microeconomic subjects, usually an advantage. Economics seem more of a macro approach. Ingminatacam (talk) 20:15, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article seem in some parts to describe the subject to economies of density. This needs some remedy. Either removal of material (which is largely unsourced anyways), a clear statement of acknowledging overalp in concepts or a statement differentiating them explaining how they how they are different (not just leaving for the reader to try to figure it out).
