经济地理学在研究一系列专业服务公司（psf）方面有着悠久的传统，包括法律、广告、建筑、会计、管理咨询和银行。在这篇文献中，相当多的注意力被放在了高技能专业人员的角色上，他们利用自己的专业知识为一系列企业客户提供定制的、知识丰富的产品。然而，相比之下，专业教育的作用却很少得到重视，专业教育是由法学院、大学商学院和专业协会等机构提供的，它们为未来的员工在公共事业基金的职业生涯做好准备。在经济地理学领域，对于不同形式的教育在强大的专业行业和实践的合法化和出现过程中所起的作用，人们普遍保持沉默，这构成了这种沉默的一部分。在本文中，我们通过展示地理学家如何通过整合专业社会学的研究、对所谓的“知识经济”的研究以及对专业实践的空间异质性的研究来加强对专业行业和公司的理解，从而开始解决这一空白。这些研究都特别关注教育机构和实践的社会化和合法化影响。两个论点贯穿全文。首先，我们确定了专业教育在专业人员的生产和psf的监管方面所起的不同作用。我们认为，迄今为止，psf的活动受到教育监管的限制的方式尚未得到充分研究，随着跨国监管形式的出现，这种情况仍在继续，这就产生了有关专业地域的新问题。其次，我们考虑了职业教育与psf之间的关系在地理和不同职业之间的差异。我们表明，将对这些地理的理解与关于资本主义多样性的辩论结合起来，为更好地理解国家机构和资本主义的连续性和变化形式提供了一种富有成效的方式。综上所述，我们认为经济地理学可以从职业教育的研究中了解到许多不同职业的空间特征，这需要大量的实证研究。
Economic geography has a well‐established tradition of studying a range of professional service firms (PSFs), including law, advertising, architecture, accountancy, management consultancy and banking. Within this literature, considerable attention has been paid to the role of highly skilled professionals who use their expertise to deliver bespoke, knowledge‐rich products to a range of corporate clients. However, comparatively, little attention has been paid to the role of professional education, offered by institutions such as law schools, university business schools and professional associations in preparing future employees for their careers in PSFs. This forms part of a broader silence within economic geography on the role of different forms of education in the legitimisation and emergence of powerful professional industries and practices. In this article, we begin to address this lacuna by showing how geographers’ understanding of professional industries and firms can be enhanced by integrating studies from the sociology of the professions, research into the so‐called ‘knowledge‐based economy’ more generally and studies of the spatial heterogeneity of professional practice that all focus specifically on the socialising and legitimating influence of educational institutions and practices. Two arguments run throughout the article. First, we identify the different roles played by professional education in relation to the production of professionals and the regulation of PSFs. We argue that the way the activities of PSFs have been limited by the regulation of education to date has been understudied, something that has continued as forms of transnational regulation emerge that create new questions about the geographies of the professions. Second, we consider how the relationship between professional education and PSFs varies both geographically and between different professions. We show that coupling an understanding of these geographies to debates about the varieties of capitalism offers a fruitful way to better understand the forms of continuity and change in national institutions and capitalisms. Combined, we suggest that economic geography can learn a lot about the spatial peculiarities of different professions from studies of professional education, something that is in need of significant empirically grounded research.
