Definition

  • The economist August Lösch was a major contributor to the formation of the body of knowledge combining geography and economics. With the geographer Walter Christaller, he made important contributions to the intellectual thread of location theory extending back to J. H. von Thünen and carrying forward to the formation of the multidisciplinary field of regional science. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Lösch, August (1906–1945)]
