Spatial Economic Analysis

期刊简介：Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics. 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: innovative contributions to theory, methods and models related to urban and spatial matters; contributions to key underrepresented geographical areas; spatial economic analytical contributions to key underrepresented topics in the social sciences, such as criminology, demography, political science, public health, sociology, human geography; and applications of spatial econometrics to microeconomic data, survey data, flow data, and limited dependent variables. The journal also welcomes contributions that replicate or document robustness tests of studies within the scope of the journal. The journal is published by two of the world's leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. Peer Review Statement: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and double-anonymized refereeing.

【译文】空间经济分析是一本开创性的经济学期刊，致力于空间经济学理论和方法的发展。空间视角比以往任何时候都更能帮助我们理解全球以及社区、城市和地区范围内的经济和地理现象。这些规模的经济表现差异是知识分子探究的热门话题，并且长期以来一直是国家、地区和地方政府政策举措的焦点。更广泛的经济学界对空间的重视建立在区域科学家、空间经济学家、经济地理学家和政治经济学家的长期工作基础上，并受到分析地理和区位在经济现象中的作用的新理论的出现的刺激。此外，空间经济分析越来越受到新分析方法的出现的支持，人们对空间数据分析和可视化的新模型和技术的兴趣激增。其中包括大数据分析、机器学习、地理信息学、计算建模、输入输出分析的进展、网络计量经济学、空间计量经济学和空间过程的因果推理。因此，《空间经济分析》编委会特别欢迎：对与城市和空间问题相关的理论、方法和模型做出的创新贡献；对代表性不足的关键地理区域的贡献；空间经济分析对社会科学中代表性不足的关键主题的贡献，例如犯罪学、人口学、政治学、公共卫生、社会学、人文地理学；以及空间计量经济学在微观经济数据、调查数据、流量数据和有限因变量中的应用。该杂志还欢迎在该杂志范围内复制或记录研究稳健性测试的贡献。该杂志由两个世界领先的空间经济学分析学术团体出版，即区域研究协会和国际区域科学协会英国和爱尔兰分会。同行评审声明：本期刊的所有文章都经过了严格的同行评审，基于最初的编辑筛选和双重匿名审稿。请阅读作者须知，了解有关文章类型以及如何提交文章的信息。
