# Journal of Economic Geography (journal-of-economic-geography)

## Journal positioning

The Journal of Economic Geography sits at the intersection of economics and geography, publishing work on the spatial organization of economic activity: agglomeration, clusters, location, trade geography, and regional development. It is genuinely interdisciplinary — read and authored by both economists and economic geographers — so it spans formal spatial-economics modeling and more institutional, qualitative geography. What wins here is a paper that advances understanding of where economic activity happens and why, and that engages both traditions rather than ignoring one. The readership is spatial economists, regional scientists, and economic geographers.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Oxford University Press / journal site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JoEG as the target venue.
- A spatial / regional paper bridges economics and geography and the author is unsure whether to aim for an econ field journal or a geography venue.
- An applied paper has a strong spatial / agglomeration dimension that needs re-framing toward economic geography.
- The author needs JoEG's desk-reject risks and a credible spatial-economics / geography alternative list.
