Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper presents a citation analysis of articles published in economic geography (broadly defined) in the period since the 1980s, with a supplementary analysis of significant books in the field. The overwhelmingly Anglocentric character of ‘international’ economic geography is reaffirmed, as both journal publishing and the citation ‘market’ are dominated by authors from the UK, US and Canada. There is some evidence, however, that the field is beginning to internationalize, just as there are also indications that the reach of economic geography, qua ‘exporter’, is extending into other parts of the social sciences.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
