  • The Empirics of New Economic Geography ∗
    The Empirics of New Economic Geography ∗ Stephen J Redding LSE, Yale School of Management and CEPR y February 28, 2009 Abstract Although a rich and extensive body of theoretical research on new economic geography has emerged, empirical research remains comparatively less well developed. This paper reviews the existing empirical literature on the predictions of new economic geography models for the distribution of income and production across space. The discussion highlights connections with other research in regional and urban economics, identification issues, potential alternative explanations and possible areas for further research.

  • Explains Geography: Why Is Geographic Education Importa
    What is Geography? Geography is the study of places, people, and the natural and built environments they occupy. Although it is true that Geographers may be well trained in the location of many things and may be able to show you those things on a map, the true value of the geographic perspective is found in the Geographer’s ability to explain why things are distributed across space and through time and to use that knowledge to help guide future decisions about how best to explore, manage, and protect our world. Geographers are employed everywhere. We are in schools, government offices, private companies, and non-profit organizations. We are inventors, entrepreneurs, explorers, teachers, and leaders in our communities. Geographers learn to change the world and that begins in your classrooms. Here is an example of What you can do with Geography (video). The National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) explains Geography: Many of our challenges have a spatial dimension or lie at the link between human and environmental systems. Where else are students taught to understand the place in which they live or to ask important questions about why patterns of phenomena exist across space and what the implications are of those patterns? Geography provides essential workforce skills. It enables students to grasp the explanatory power of spatial information. It empowers students to be discerning users of maps and increasingly critical geospatial technologies such as remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning systems (GPS). Geographic literacy is important for applying these technologies toward good governance, foreign policy, economic development, environmental stewardship and regional and local planning.

  • Locati N Theory in Geography and Archaeology
    43 Geography Research Forum Volume 7, 1984: 43-60 LOCATI N THEORY IN GEOGRAPHY AND ARCHAEOLOGY Juval Portugali Tel Aviv University, Israel Submitted November 1982, revised November 1983 Locational analysis of the seventies is marked by expressions of disillusionment and criticism of the "quantitative revolution" of the sixties. "Especially so in the writing and work of some of those who were formerly quite active in the promotion of the spatial analysis theme and quantitative approaches" (King 1969:155). Despite the fact that those writing provide the main source of inspiration for archaeological locational analysis, critical geography of the seventies is utterly ignored in the archaeological literature. Thus, the aims of this paper are to present the geographical criticism of locational analysis and theory, to consider the archaeological implications and to suggest a possible synthesis of location theory in geography and archaeology. " ... Measures and counts now about in a field traditionally devoid of comparative scales: tax­ onometrics ... information indices of structural complexity, economic measures of utility, spatial measures of distribution ... The proper treatment of qualitative and quantitative obser­ vations has introduced a welcome precision and a proper appreciation of error, (and has) facilitated the testing of predictions ... These reinforcing developments ... give added scope to ... explicit model-using ... and the comprehensive theory of systems and cybernetics ... Computer methodology provides an expanding armoury of analog and digital techniques ... whilst all thinking archaeologists must share severe reservations about what has yet been achieved with the aid of these tools, the fault is with the uncertain archaeologist and his shaky concepts, not with the machine ..

    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers Faculty of Social Sciences 2012 Editors' introduction: human geography Derek Gregory University of British Columbia Noel Castree University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details Gregory, D. & Castree, N. (2012). Editors' introduction: human geography. In D. Gregory & N. Castree (Eds.), Human Geography (pp. xxv-lxxix). London: SAGE Publications Ltd. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Editors' introduction: human geography Abstract When we were invited by Sage to identify published work in human geography that represents what is best and most distinctive about the field it seemed an impossible task (it still does) because there is such a rich volume of material to draw from. We decided to focus on Englishlanguage and to a lesser extent other European contributions, although we are acutely aware of the irony, even the imperialism, of limiting a field like human geography to knowledges rooted in only a fraction of the world. We discuss below the dangers of delimiting Geography as a European or Euro-American science, and several of our selections return to this issue again and again. If there is a much richer geography of Geography than this, there is also a much longer history than our selections might imply. Our focus on the last thirty years is not an exercise in progressivism or triumphalism which treats the present as the climactic moment in a chain of contributions that reaches back into an ever more distant and ever more imperfect past.
