全球化时代,空港经济逐渐成为全球经济主流形态之一,国内正掀起一轮空港经济建设热潮,在此背景下,回顾、梳理国内外空港经济研究进展,对指导国内空港建设实践具有重大意义。本文首先回顾了国内外空港经济发展历程,随后依据对相关文献的梳理,归纳出空港经济相关概念、形成与发展机理、产业特征、产业空间格局、空港经济影响等五大领域研究,评述了国内外空港经济研究进展。最后,从加强特征类型与阶段演变研究、丰富中微观尺度实证研究、深化空港经济影响评估、关注高铁与航空竞合发展对空港经济的影响等四方面提出未来研究展望。

In the era of globalization, the airports and their surrounding areas gradually evolves into the zones where the modern economic activities are high-clustered. On the base of reviewing the path of aviation economy, this paper summarizes the literature with dividing them into five aspects as following. Firstly, we summarize the related concepts and make concept definition and discrimination; Secondly, the mechanism of the formation and development of aviation economy, but comparing with the research on mechanism of formation, there are relatively few relevant research on the types and stage evolution of aviation economy; Thirdly, industrial classification and characteristics. The existed research focus distinguish between home and abroad, the foreign scholar's research mainly focus on the industrial characteristics and classification, while the Chinese scholars pay close attention to the industrial structure's evolution, industrial function and orientation, such as aviation economy's emergence and its' evolution path; Fourthly, industrial spatial structure, now relevant research can be divided into two parts, In addition to the industrial spatial structure, the aerial area's spatial expansion and driving mechanism such as the industry's spatial agglomeration and diffusion are also the study focus, but it is also found that micro-scale research is now still insufficient, which need further study; Lastly, the effect of aviation economy, it has been found by the western and Chinese scholars that the development of hub airport obviously boost the growth of regional economy, local employment and tourism industry, but it's necessary to make research expansion from airport to the integrated area around the airport.
