A demand-side perspective of evolutionary economic geography
Ignoring the influence of demand-side factors for a long time,the theory of evolu-tionary economic geography focuses on supply-side factors both theoretically and empirically.The geographical distribution of demand may be fundamentally different from the spatial charac-teristics of production.In many areas,demand also has a decisive influence on the innovation process.Supplementing the study of evolutionary economic geography based on the demand-side perspective can clarify the local development path,increasing demand economic geographic analysis will bring a series of additional local policy tools.This paper comprehensively com-pares the similarities and differences of evolutionary economic geography from the perspectives of the supply and demand side,systematically reviews the existing research literature in related fields,and further establishes a preliminary supplementary research framework for evolutionary economic geography combined with the demand side perspective.Finally,we provide a prelimi-nary framework for exploring the path to achieve an organic combination of expanding domestic demand and supply-side structural reform based on the local dimension.
