The need for a better understanding of the role location plays in economic life was first and most famously made explicit by Bertil Ohlin in 1933. However it is only recently, with the development of computer packages able to handle complex systems, as well as advances in economic theory (in particular an increased understanding of returns to scale and imperfect competition), that Ohlin’s vision has been met and a framework developed which explains the distribution of economic activity across space. This book is an integrated, non-mathematical, first-principles textbook presenting geographical economics to advanced students. Never avoiding advanced concepts, its emphasis is on examples, diagrams, and empirical evidence, making it the ideal starting point prior to monographic and journal material. Contains copious computer simulation exercises, available in book and electronic format to encourage learning and understanding through application. Uses case study material from North America, Europe, Africa and Australasia.

中文简介：
本书介绍了经济学一个新的重要领域——地理经济学，其主要解释经济活动跨空间分布的问题。本书力图把经济学不同领域的观点联合起来并加以应用，所以对国际经济学、国际商务以及\r\n经济地理学、区域经济学、城市经济学专业的学生以及从事这些领域的研究工作的学者大有裨益。我们提供“介绍”并不是说我们有意避开经济模型或是艰深的概念，而是我们在努力写一本能把对地理经济学感到陌生的读者和学生带进这片领域，使其更易于理解的书。\r\n 尽管我们介绍并讨论的经济模型和途径各种各样，但我们尽量少用所需的专业术语。不管何时，只要有可能，我们就用专门的注释框帮助读者领会重要的概念并大量使用例子和图表来解释模型的运作。第3章解释了地理经济学核心模型的结构，并用六个专业注释介绍其形成背景。整本书所要求的算术能力水平并没有超越应该为经济学和其他社会科学领域高层次的大学生和研究生所熟知的简单的优选技能。本书的目标读者并不仅限于这些学生，还包括在政府机关、锒行、国际组织和私人研究单位工作的专业人士以及国际商务和经济地理学的不家务事、学者。后一类读者如果发现本书对经济活动地理分布的分析与他们的观点不一致时，就会觉得本书趣味盎然
