References across the fence: measuring the dialogue between economists and geographers
通过分析《经济地理杂志》创刊十年间的参考文献，衡量经济学家与地理学家之间的相互引用情况，发现地理学家引用经济学文献显著多于反之，修正了此前“相互忽视”的论断。
In this article, we try to measure the dialogue between economists and geographers. It has been argued that this dialogue can be best described as one of 'mutual neglect' but quantitative evidence is scarce. Our main data set covers all references from the first decade of the Journal of Economic Geography. Based on our results, the 'mutual neglect' obervation should be qualified. First, and correcting for the fact that geographers generally cite more than economists, geographers significantly cross-reference more to the neighboring field of economics than vice versa. Second, and perhaps most importantly, although the description of a non-debate might still hold in general, it clearly does so to a lesser extent when looking at the cross-references of geographers and economists in our data set.
