Evolutionary economic geography and its application in regional research
Evolutionary economic geography and its application in regional research

Summary/Abstract: Evolutionary economic geography became popular in the late 1990s. The study has developed on the basis of evolutionary economics; which has achieved greater success in explaining phenomena in the microeconomic than in the macroeconomic sphere and it has had non-spatial character. Evolutionary economic geography is an alternative in economic geography and regional planning for static or pseudo-dynamic research. Supporters of evolutionary economic geography; by criticizing among others New Economic Geography by P. Krugman; conduct research with the use of generalized Darwinism; path dependence and complexity theory. In this paper the author discusses the basic approach and assumptions of evolutionary economic geography and its application in regional economy; especially as an answer to the search for ways out of the economic crisis of regions and cities.
