Editing Economic geography (section)

===Branches===
Thematically, economic geography can be divided into these subdisciplines:
* [[Agricultural geography|Geography of agriculture]]
It is traditionally considered the branch of economic geography that investigates those parts of the Earth's surface that are transformed by humans through primary sector activities. It thus focuses on structures of agricultural landscapes and asks for the processes that lead to these spatial patterns. While most research in this area concentrates rather on production than on consumption,[1] a distinction can be made between nomothetic (e.g. distribution of spatial agricultural patterns and processes) and idiographic research (e.g. human-environment interaction and the shaping of agricultural landscapes). The latter approach of agricultural geography is often applied within regional geography.
* Geography of industry
* Geography of international trade
* Geography of resources
* [[Transportation geography|Geography of transport]] and communication
* [[Geography of finance]]

These areas of study may overlap with other [[geography|geographical sciences]].
