Spatial Economic Analysis

中文简介

空间经济分析是一个开创性的经济学期刊,致力于空间经济学的理论和方法的发展,发表的两个世界领先的学术团体在空间经济学的分析,区域研究协会和英国和爱尔兰的国际科学协会地区。空间观点对我们理解全球范围和城市和区域范围内的经济现象越来越重要。国际贸易的增长、新兴市场的开放、世界经济的区域结构调整以及全球化的总体战略和政治意义，都再次强调了地理分析的重要性。城市和区域内经济发展的空间变化也是知识分子研究的热点问题，长期以来一直是国家、区域和地方政府政策倡议的重点。“新经济地理学”或“地理经济学”新理论的出现，刺激了经济学家对空间的觉醒。这一新理论为现有的空间经济学理论工具增加了一个重要的新维度，这些工具的广泛目标是分析地理和位置在经济现象中的作用。此外，空间经济分析越来越受到新分析方法的支持，人们对空间数据分析和数据可视化(GIS)的新模型和新技术产生了极大的兴趣。空间计量经济学正日益被主流计量经济学家认可为一门有价值的分支学科。

英文简介

Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics, published by two of the world's leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International.A spatial perspective has become increasingly relevant to our understanding of economic phenomena, both on the global scale and at the scale of cities and regions. The growth in international trade, the opening up of emerging markets, the restructuring of the world economy along regional lines, and overall strategic and political significance of globalization, have re-emphasised the importance of geographical analysis. Spatial variations in economic development within cities and regions are also highly topical subjects for intellectual enquiry and have long been the focus of policy initiatives by national, regional and local governments. The awakening emphasis on space among economists has been stimulated by the emergence of a new breed of theory, namely ’new economic geography’or ’geographical economics’. This new theory adds a significant new dimension to the already existing theoretical tools of spatial economics, which broadly aim to analyse the role of geography and location in economic phenomena. Additionally, spatial economic analysis is increasingly being supported by the emergence of new analytical methods, with an explosion of interest in new models and techniques of spatial data analysis and data visualisation (GIS). Spatial econometrics is becoming increasingly recognised as a valuable sub-discipline among mainstream econometricians.
