Linking Keynesian Theory to Economic Geography
Young-Jin Ahn | Zuhriddin Juraev
Abstract:
This article examines the application of Keynesian theory in the field
of economic geography, with a specific focus on regional development
and the reduction of inequalities. The objective is to emphasize the
importance and advantages of applying Keynesian principles to address spatial economic challenges. The novelty lies in examining the
intersection of Keynesian economics and geography, which provides
insights into regional planning, infrastructure development, and cluster formation. The results demonstrate how policymakers and researchers can utilize Keynesian theory to foster balanced growth and
enhance living standards. The keywords for this article are Keynesian
theory, economic geography, regional development, disparities, and
policy interventions.
