Applications of Evolutionary Economic Geography

The present volume Applied Evolutionary Economics and Economic Geography (Frenken,
forthcoming) aims to further develop an evolutionary economic geography. It does so by bringing
together a selected group of excellent scholars coming from business studies, economics,
geography, planning and organisational sociology. All contributors share an interest in explaining
the uneven distribution of economic activities in space and the historical processes that have
produced these patterns. The heterogeneity in backgrounds was overcome by a common
understanding of the evolutionary nature of spatial processes. The end result is a volume of 13
chapters on various topics organised under the headings of entrepreneurship, industrial dynamics,
network analysis, spatial systems, and planning. The volume also reflects the variety of research
methodologies characterising applied evolutionary economics, including case study research
(Garnsey and Heffernan, forthcoming; Quéré, forthcoming; Lee and Sine, forthcoming; Bertolini,
forthcoming), duration models (Klepper, forthcoming), data envelopment analysis (Jacob and
Los, forthcoming), complexity theory (Sorenson et al., forthcoming), social network analysis
(Sorenson et al., forthcoming; Giuliani, forthcoming; Birke, forthcoming; Maggioni and Uberti,
forthcoming), spatial econometrics (Essletzbichler, forthcoming; Bonaccorsi et al., forthcoming)
and gravity modelling (Maggioni and Uberti, forthcoming).
