Geography of finance

[1] With the continuing process of globalization, some geographic barriers, such as transportation costs of goods and capital, are steadily decreasing.

Fields of research include culture and education,[4] technology,[5] the effects of tacit knowledge and relational proximity,[1] and politics.

[8] Furthermore, researchers analyse how and how strongly the current spatial distribution of finance affects the allocation of funds, capital, and credit across different regions.

[11] This is emphasized by the existence of economic bubbles and the fact that the value of financial transactions is often multiple times larger than the real economy.

[12] The September 11 attacks that targeted the World Trade Centre in New York City drew new attention to the geography of finance.
