Abstract

This paper compares the publication and citation behaviour of economic geographers and geographical economists. Based on a unique data set and consciously limited to researchers in the German-speaking world, empirical analyses show more parallels than expected. The differences in terms of the frequency of publication and citation are slight. A convergence of scholars from both disciplines over time can be observed, as younger scholars are more similar to each other in this respect than those of the older generation for whom journal articles were/are less important than other forms of publication. Publication together with foreign scholars (of the same discipline or not) becomes more frequent. Equally, more and more German-speaking economic geographers are trying to have their articles published in high-calibre international journals (of both disciplines)—and with increasing success. Joint publications of both disciplines are still a rare, but increasing phenomenon. There seems to be a cooperation dividend if economic geographers and geographical economists write joint articles.
