Economic Geography

The course examines the way in which individuals and enterprises organise their economic activities in space and the extent to which society recognizes the socio-economic impacts of such activities across space and uses its institutions to influence these interdependencies and impacts. The course is focused on how geographic and economic conditions affect the products, industries, commerce and resources in a variety of regions. The course tackles the concepts, theories, and methodologies used by geographers to analyse economic change. The course provides an introduction to Economic and Human Geography, particularly in terms of the geographical pattern of residentially, production and consumption, as well as consumer behaviour. These topics include theories and basic economic geography models as, for instance, location theories, gravity and spatial interaction models.
