经济地理学发展不仅与人文地理的其他分支交互发展,并从包括经济学在内的社会科学内吸收营养.文章通过历史性地考察经济地理学与经济学关系,尝试探索经济地理学未来的发展趋势.通过考察发现:古典经济地理学时期,经济地理学与经济学相互交织、彼此影响;1930、1940时代到1970、1980年代,经济学引领经济地理发展,而经济地理学者没有对主流经济学产生重大影响;1980年代末和1990年代初期,经济地理学吸收经济学相关理论,实现了文化、制度和关系的转向,同时主流经济学则出现了地理化趋势,出现了新经济地理学运动.1980年代以来,演化思想在经济学界逐渐兴盛起来,演化经济学理论已得到越来越多的经济学家的重视,在20世纪90年代,经济地理学家接受了演化经济学的基本概念,开始尝试构建演化经济地理学理论框架.演化经济地理学是经济地理和经济学的下一个交叉点.
This paper probes into the future re,arch trend of economic geography on the base of the study on the evolution history of the relationship between the economics and economic geography. Economic geography was interwoven with economics in the period of classical economic geography, in which the two disciplines influenced on one another; from 1930s to 1980s, economics was in a leading position while economic geographers had little effects on the development of mainstream economics; absorbing related theories of economics, economic geography fulfilled the cultural, institutional and relational turns, meantime, the mainstream economics appeared a geography turn and initiated "the New Economic Geography"; since 1980s, the evolutionary thoughts has increasingly received the attentions of the economists. The economic geographers accepted the core concepts of evolutionary economics and began to set up the framework of evolutionary economic geography from 1990s. According to the historical review, this paper argues that evolutionary economic geography will be the next important dialog between economics and economic geographer.
