A spatial perspective is more relevant than ever to our understanding of economic and geographical phenomena, both globally and at the scale of neighbourhoods, cities and regions. Differences in economic performance at these scales are topical subjects for intellectual enquiry and have long been the focus of policy initiatives by national, regional and local governments.
The emphasis on space in the wider economics community builds on the longstanding work of regional scientists, spatial economists, economic geographers and political economists, and has been stimulated by the emergence of new theories that analyse the role of geography and location in economic phenomena.
Moreover, spatial economic analysis is increasingly supported by the emergence of new analytical methods, with an explosion of interest in new models and techniques for spatial data analysis and visualization. These include big data analytics, machine learning, geoinformatics, computational modelling, advances in input-output analysis, network econometrics, spatial econometrics and causal inference from spatial processes.
The editorial board of Spatial Economic Analysis therefore particularly welcomes:
