Abstract
Economists have only recently started to analyze the impact of geography on economics. This article will examine the various avenues of research that have been taken, wherein the notion of geography mostly encompasses matters related to location, soils, and topography; but also to climate and epidemiology.
The first part of the article focuses on the relationship between geography and economics, while the second part relates geography to political systems and public economics.
Keywords: geography, political economy, climate
