The New Economic Geography – better than it´s reputation
Pages 188 - 195
Economic geography often criticizes the New Economic Geography,
but it does not take into account that the core-periphery-model of 1991
is only the initial one and new developments have been taken place since
than. The article presents some thoughts about the relevance of this kind
of regional economic concept and indicates how economic geography can
benefit from the further advancements. Thus, the New Economic Geography
should not be rejected before attempts to incorporate it into economic
geography have been performed and empirical tests have been made to form
a final opinion.
