KT451 |
Regional science consisting of Urban Economics and Regional Economics, emphasizes more the spatial dimensions in analysis than other branches of economics. The former deals with the economic aspects of urban issues such as the location behavior of firms and individuals, agglomeration effects, spatial structures, land use, public policy, and government finance. The latter deals with regional problems such as regional economic growth, regional industrial linkage, interregional inequalities of income and factor endowment, and interregional trade and migration. This course introduces the latter branch’s topics such as regional income growth and its distribution to present a picture of how theory relates to the problems and solutions in regional development.
• In this course, students can develop knowledge to use analytical models to formulate research questions and to apply theoretical concepts to undertake relevant empirical work. This course focuses on the determinants in regional incomes and their spatial distributions. This course also enhances the students’ analytical skills in writing term papers and master dissertations, by developing the students’ quantitative analytical skills through the computer workshop.
