Divarication and Opposability between "New Economic Geography"and Economic Geography
|
Abstract:
Be seasoned with globalization, some economists in Western countries have new interests in Geography in recent years. A new branch of Economics, "new economic geography" or geographical economics, emerges as the times require. This paper shows the real meaning and main contents of "new economic geography", and introduces approaches and theories of Krugman's "new economic geography". The paper introduces in detail the two major themes of "the new economic geography": the spatial agglomeration of economic activity and the dynamics of regional growth convergence. The paper also gives some appraisements on it from Geographies. In the end the paper emphasizes that geography and economics should construct their new alliance based on the same goal and philosophical foundation.
