Beskrivning

A comprehensive introduction to both urban and geographical economics: the two dominant approaches used to explain the distribution of economic activity across space. This fully revised and up-to-date third edition gives a full account of the ever-expanding body of knowledge and insights on urban and geographical economics, with an increased emphasis on analytical concepts and empirical methods, reflecting developments in the literature since the last edition. The authors provide both state-of-the-art theories and empirics, introducing new data, methods and models for this edition, including a whole chapter dedicated to measurement issues and empirical methods. Written in a style that is accessible to students who are new to the field, this textbook also includes more advanced concepts that will interest experienced researchers. Unrivalled in its scope and depth, this title is perfect for readers seeking to understand the uneven spatial distribution of economic activity between and within countries.

Recensioner i media

'Economic geography strikes back. After a couple of decades of easy talk about the 'death of distance' in the age of globalization, the promise of a future of rising living standards for all is increasingly challenged by the resilience of geographical disparities. By introducing students and scholars to the frontier of urban and geographical economics, this new edition equips them with the theoretical and empirical tools needed to make sense of our spiky world.' Gianmarco Ottaviano, Bocconi University and the London School of Economics and Political Science
