The Evolution of Geographic Structure in New Industries

In: Applied Evolutionary Economics and Economic Geography

Author

  • Steven Klepper

Abstract

Applied Evolutionary Economics and Economic Geography aims to further advance empirical methodologies in evolutionary economics, with a special emphasis on geography and firm location. It does so by bringing together a select group of leading scholars including economists, geographers and sociologists, all of whom share an interest in explaining the uneven distribution of economic activities in space and the historical processes that have produced these patterns.
