A NEW THEND IN ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY STUDY
回顾了英美经济地理学的最新发展,重点讨论了主流经济学家推动的“新经济地理学”与地理学家持续研究之间的互动,并分析了这一新方向对经济地理学发展的四种可能影响。
This paper reviews the recent developments in Anglo-American economic geography study, focusing on interaction between 'new economic geography' pursued by mainstream ecumenicists, and on-going studies on economic geography by geographers. Some features of the new economic geography are discussed. This new direction may affect development of economic geography in the following ways: (1) integration among various academic groups may be promoted; (2) the influence of economic geography on policy making may be enhanced; (3) predicting results may increase; (4) new research schools may emerge.
