"Dr. Zhao poses the provocative question of how thegeographical distribution of economic activitycontributes to the aggregate growth of an economy.With an analysis that considers both time and spacehe examines the relationships between growth, thegeographic distribution of growth and thedistribution of inputs that contribute to growth.His analysis shows that productivity and earningsfollow or lag "behind" the geographic distributionof employment both temporally and geographically.Further, he shows that the U.S. economy demonstratesa remarkable increase in both geographic scope andspatial intensity. The analysis is dynamic, theresults convincing and provides one of the mostsignificant analyses of the relationship betweenresource inputs and economic growth in a geographiccontext to date. It is a convincing temporally andspatially integrated and thus dynamic investigationthat deserves consideration by the broad communitiesof economic geography, rural and urban planning andeconomic development."Roger R. Stough, NOVA Endowed Chair and Professor ofPublic Policy, George Mason University, USA
