Economic Geography
"Location, location, location!"
Economic geography is characterised by a spatial approach. It examines the spatial organisation of economic activities, the relationships between these activities and the interaction between economic agents and their environment. The scope of analysis ranges from local to global.

- Consumer behaviour
