The Journal of Economic Geography at 25: charting the geographies of economies for quarter of a century (2001–26) The Journal of Economic Geography (JoEG) is 25 years old! Launched in 2001 by founding editors Richard Arnott and Neil Wrigley (see Arnott and Wrigley 2001), the journal has charted a quarter of century of developments in the geographies of economies, seen through the research of both ‘economic geographers’ and ‘geographical economists’ (Arnott and Wrigley 2003: 1). During this period, we have witnessed and authors have provided analysis of major economic events including (but not limited to) the end of the dot.com boom and ensuing bust, the global financial crisis and recession, COVID-19, and, most recently, the impacts of multiple wars and the apparent breakdown of the neoliberal free markets consensus, symbolized by Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariff regime. Also, during this period, the world has witnessed, and the journal’s authors have analysed, major shifts such as:

The economic geography of climate change: a review and ways forward Abstract Climate change is reshaping socioeconomic systems worldwide through uneven and interconnected impacts. This commentary takes stock of how economic geography has engaged with climate change, focusing on contributions published in the Journal of Economic Geography. I identify three main threads in this literature: (1) the uneven geography of climate impacts, (2) the geography of adaptation strategies, and (3) the collective agency shaping territorial responses. Building on these insights, I outline future research avenues that move beyond administrative boundaries, carbon tunnel vision, and the mere measurement of practices, and that link adaptation to mitigation, to inform more effective place-sensitive policies and strategies.

The economic geography of climate change: recent progress and open questions Abstract Climate change is a spatial phenomenon, hurting some regions more than others. As a result, global warming will lead to a spatial reallocation of the world’s economic geography. Recent spatial integrated assessment models project substantial increases in spatial inequality while predicting modest aggregate losses. However, these global losses may be understated if models fail to account for multiple equilibria or migration-induced conflict. They may also be underestimated if models neglect spatial frictions due to stranded physical assets, endogenous migratory barriers, or moral hazard arising from the overprotection of vulnerable places.

The ‘internal’ geography of multi-unit firms Abstract Over the past two decades, economic geography has generated important insights into how multi-unit firms distribute functions across space and with what consequences for territorial development. This commentary synthesizes the field’s key contributions to date, highlighting core findings from past research and pointing to promising directions for future enquiry. Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay between intra-firm micropolitics and inter-firm networks in shaping the uneven geographies of value capture that remain central to economic geography.

The geography of cultural capital: measuring neighborhood-level gaps in access as a key driver of social mobility Abstract This article examines the spatial manifestation of cultural capital, an increasingly central means by which social inequalities are demarcated. To conduct our analysis, we measure both linear and transportation network distances between neighborhoods and representative amenities of cultural capital within the twelve most populous American metropolitan areas. By classifying neighborhoods according to their residents’ income and educational attainment levels, we identify consistent and geographically based gaps in access to cultural capital that favor the socially advantaged, particularly in terms of educational attainment. These results highlight how local geographies mediate access to social mobility. We recommend policy interventions accordingly.

Customary land conversion in sub-Saharan African cities Abstract We propose an urban model to discuss the conversion of customary agricultural land to formal and informal residential land in developing country cities. Because customary land sales are insecure, migrant buyers face a risk of eviction, which affects land markets in non-trivial ways. Tenure risk and asymmetric information likely cause insufficient urban development. Empirical tests of the model for Bamako, Mali, confirm the existence of tenure insecurity and information asymmetry in the primary land market, but not in the secondary market, consistently with information revelation after initial sales by customary holders.

A multi-scale story of the diffusion of a new technology: the Web Abstract This article investigates the spatial diffusion of a new technology that is the Web in the UK. It employs novel data and machine learning methods to model the influence of well-established diffusion mechanisms. Contrary to previous studies, it adopts multiple scales, high spatial granularity and a long study period that captures the early stages of the Web until its maturity (1996–2012). Findings reveal the importance of such spatial mechanisms (namely distance, urban hierarchy and the S-shaped pattern of the cumulative level of adoption) even at granular scales. They also highlight spatial heterogeneity and instances of leapfrogging.

Labor market spillovers of a large plant opening. Evidence from the oil industry Abstract We examine the labor market spillovers associated with the establishment of a large oil extraction facility in a peripheral commuting zone in Southern Italy, focusing on the period of physical investment. Employing a synthetic difference-in-differences design with commuting zone-level census data, we find no evidence of an impact on overall employment or the total number of establishments. However, we estimate positive effects in sectors supplying goods and services to the oil industry and among large firms. As for the latter finding, we estimate positive within-firm employment effects using social security micro-data.

The Fourth Italy: a contemporary account of the Italian economic geography Abstract We update Bagnasco’s work on the Third Italy and its interpretative model of Italy’s economic geography adding a Fourth Italy to the existing taxonomy of productive systems. This new conceptual model frames the emergence of Italian Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) of start-ups in several cities. We describe their characteristics, localization, and institutional patterns. The Fourth Italy and its cognitive capitalist production highlights some situated agglomeration externalities. Current policies supporting EEs have often exacerbated existing patterns of uneven development, following a logic of economic convergence. We call for place-sensitive policy at the meso-level, to enhance the regenerative power of EEs and the development of the Fourth Italy.
