Bringing Down Territorial Inequalities in the Digital Economy: An Evolutionary Institutional Approach

Olivier Brette and Bruno Moriset

Journal of Economic Issues, 2009, vol. 43, issue 2, 495-502

Abstract: This paper lays the methodological foundations of an analytical framework that may help shed some new light on the issue of territorial inequalities in the digital economy. It opposes the recent tendency to build up an evolutionary economic geography as an alternative not only to the so-called "New Economic Geography" (namely "geographical mainstream economics") but also to the institutional economic geography. The paper advocates the development of an evolutionary and institutional approach in economic geography, which would be meso-focused. Finally, it presents some insights that highlight the heuristic potential of this approach in reappraising the territorial features of the digital economy.
