Primes¶
- Edge Effect
- Organizations — boundary-spanning roles (sales, support, partnerships) carry different norms, faster tempo, and distinct stress versus interior functions, translating between regimes that cannot communicate directly. Urban form — neighborhood edges (waterfronts, rail lines, highway frontages) host distinctive mixed-use and incubator economies. Economics — frontier and border economies (free-trade zones, port cities, entrepôts) develop characteristic specializations from the gradient in regime, currency, or factor prices.
This sourceAnalyzes border and frontier economies and the characteristic effects of price and regime gradients at jurisdictional edges.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Abstract shows borders cut trade 20–50%, supporting the border-friction frame but not the claimed specializations of free-trade zones, ports, or entrepôts.
“Applying our method, we find that national borders reduce trade between industrialized countries by moderate amounts of 20–50 percent.”

Domain-specific¶
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
