Altug,

I don't know if the following reading discusses the idea itself to your
satisfaction, but it does use it:

	Storper, Michael. 1997. The Regional World: Territorial Development in a
Global Economy. NY: Guilford.

In general, there's a strong neoinstitutional thread in the literature on
regional development that uses path dependence. You may know of Paul
Krugman's work, which involves more formal modeling.

	Best,

	Marsh Feldman
