	Economic geography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economic geography is the study of the location, distribution and spatial organization of economic activities across the Earth.
		Economic geography research focuses on the study of spatial aspects of economic activities on various scales.
		In the history of economic geography there were many influences coming mainly from economics and geographical sciences.

		These aspects of economics were noted by Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations and have also been studied by modern economists like David Landes at Harvard University and the 20th century economist Ellsworth Huntington.
		Economic geography has fallen out of favour in recent decades with most economists switching to "spatial economics" methods.
		Ellsworth Huntington, a professor of economics at Yale University in the early 20th century noted that the Northern, cold regions like the U.S., Britain, Europe and Japan had large, well-developed economies while the hot, tropical countries were less well endowed—the so-called equatorial paradox.

		Economic geography seems to have fared even worse, as economists shied away from grappling with questions about space -- such as the size, location, or even existence of cities -- because the "terrain was seen as unsuitable for the tools at hand." Krugman's book, however, is not a call to abandon economic modeling.
		Paul Krugman is Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of The Age of Diminished Expectations, Geography and Trade, and Rethinking International Trade.
		Development, Geography, and Economic Theory is based on the author's substantially revised Ohlin Lectures given at the Stockholm School of Economics in 1992.

	Association of American Geographers
		Students who have a strong interest in economic geography will be likely to see global interdependence as a focus of their academic program.
		Economic geography provides a good background for this, since geographers know about demographics (the statistical characteristics of populations, such as age and income), transportation, availability of labor, shopping habits, and how cities expand.
		Geography students planning to work in real estate should supplement their major courses with others in economics, marketing, and finance.

		Economic geography seems to have fared even worse, as economists shied away from grappling with questions about space -- such as the size, location, or even existence of cities -- because the "terrain was seen as unsuitable for the tools at hand."
		Development and economic geography, he argues, failed because they did not submit themselves to the discipline of model-building - what might look or even be at first sight downright silly in the end is preferable to the unconscious metaphors of the narrative economic discourse.
		Development and economic geography - together with income distribution - belong to the derelict class of economic problems that addresses the question of historical disparities of wealth in the economic tissue.

	Economic Geography
		During the twentieth century, new economic trends undermined Chicago's position; decentralization favored suburbs over cities, and the rise of the South and West created new centers of competition for the most dynamic sectors of the economy.
		To maintain their economic prominence, Chicagoans sponsored more transportation improvements, like the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, built in the 1890s to replace the obsolete Illinois and Michigan Canal.
		Chicago businesses reeled during the Great Depression of the 1930s and then boomed because of World War II defense contracts, but the regional shift determined the long-term trend in economic growth and hence in population, and in 1990 Los Angeles surpassed Chicago as the second city in population and wholesaling.

	Clark University Economic Geography; Current Issue
		The intersection among nature, nation, and economic development in northern Quebec is a key example of how resources are embedded in complex national geographies that are shaped across a broad historical span.
		Economic theories are first built independently of spatial and temporal contexts, for example, through costs varying according to distance.
		This means both that economic centrality still matters (and thus that dispersed cities may not be the twenty-first century's metropolitan archetype) and that an enlarged core business district (CBD) straddling Paris and the western Hauts-de-Seine dpartement is being reinforced (thus invalidating the theory of CBD decline).

		This article was informed by recent contributions to the social science literature that have emphasized the multiscalar processes of globalization (Dicken, Peck, and Tickell 1997; Yeung 2000, 2002; Cox forthcoming; MacKinnon and Phelps 2001).
		As an alternative to the conventional "top-down" approaches to globalization-which view globalization as something imposed from the outside-these recent approaches have contended that globalization is materially and discursively constructed out of complex interactions among diverse social, political, and economic processes occurring at various geographic scales.
		As Cox (forthcoming) argued, globalization is not the condition for the changing balance of class forces, but the product of class struggle.
