The book complements theoretical analysis with detailed discussions of the empirics of the economics of agglomeration, offering a mix of theoretical and empirical research that gives a unique perspective on spatial disparities. It reveals how location continues to matter for trade and economic development, yet how economic integration is transforming the global economy into an economic space in which activities are performed within large metropolitan areas exchanging goods, skills, and information. \u003ci\u003eEconomic Geography\u003c\/i\u003e examines the future implications of this evolution in the spatial economy and relates them to other major social and economic trends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a complete introduction to economic geography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the latest theory and methodologies \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the empirics of agglomeration, from spatial concentration measurement to structural estimations of economic geography models \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes history and background of the field \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eServes as a textbook for students and a resource for professionals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre-Philippe Combes,Thierry Mayer,Jacques-François Thisse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691139423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691139425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Pierre-Philippe Combes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965148446975,"sku":"9780691139425","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fd491fa-d284-4e63-bf8c-bd89b5ef81f6.jpg?v=1767278726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/economic-geography-pierre-philippe-combes-9780691139425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
