Abstract
Evolutionary theory has been regarded as a promising paradigm in economic geography but it has not yet taken off due to the paucity of theoretical and empirical work. This paper develops an analytic approach – the institutional and evolutionary economic geography - to examine how geography matters to the evolution of institutions that govern the commons as an economic unit. This approach is then applied to an interesting case study from the Philippines to illustrate the evolution of ingenious institutions based on principles of equity, legitimacy and adaptive efficiency. It concludes with implications for the study of institutional and evolutionary economic geography.
