Abstract

Does space matter in economics? Of course it does. Mel Greenhut devoted the better part of his career to the analysis of economic space and greatly improved our understanding of the subject. The important issue is how space matters, and we still have much to learn about that issue.

The author is indebted to Park Myung-chul for valuable research assistance and to Frain Camins and Swartchild for the data analyzed in this chapter.
