Abstract:Through the history of spatial economics, earlier economic thinkers and subsequent spatial economists all made important interpretations of spatial economic thinking, but have not formed an independent systematic theoretical paradigm, let alone unique theoretical features. In theoretical paradigm of spatial economics, there are such problems as vague definition of some theories, lack of connotation in basic theories, and disconnected theoretical system, which has seriously affected the development of the theory itself and the study of realistic problems. The paradigm requires immediate remedy for its intrinsic flaws to improve, innovate and develop itself. Innovation of the paradigm is not to deny the past. The tools and laws in traditional spatial economics are important categories in future paradigm innovation. Innovation of spatial economics paradigm is to establish new paradigm logic, new paradigm content, and new paradigm framework on the basis of inheriting traditional tools, principles, and laws. To be specific, the innovation includes defining basic logic, introducing endogenous analysis, and establishing a unified framework. It is accumulative new development within the paradigm, which ultimately leads to progressive paradigm innovation.
