Abstract
Evolutionary economic geography theory stresses the importance of time and history to explain the evolution of regional economies.
Yet, consistent empirical treatment of longitudinal patterns of regional evolution has largely escaped the focus of this new approach. There is much work in progress, which suggests that a deepening of the historical perspective is the next natural step in a further development of evolutionary economic geography.
However, there are also theoretical, empirical and methodological challenges to ‘taking evolutionary economic geography historical’. In this endeavour, much could be gained from insights from time–geography, economic history and the literature on longitudinal methodologies.
