Women in spatial economic analysis

Abstract

This virtual special issue marks International Women's Day 2021 by drawing together 15 papers published in Spatial Economic Analysis over the past decade by female authors and co-authors. It highlights the wide range of ground-breaking research by these authors and their collaborators, growth of female-authored publications over time, as well as the geographical and career-stage diversity of female authors within the field. The papers include agenda-setting directions, novel applications of econometric and spatial analysis techniques, and spatial modelling applied to policy-relevant research topics.
