HG 333 - Regional and Urban Economics

Institution:

Cazenovia College (Closed 2023)

Subject:

Description:

Regional and Urban Economics is the study of the location of economic activity. We consider why cities form and grow; changes in urban form; changes in transportation technology; and the conditions that facilitate economic development. Two distinct aspects about location that are of interest to us are the distance from other economic activity and the income of households in a place. Relying heavily on market concepts developed in introductory economics, we study location theory for firms relative to markets, and explore issues related to government efforts to encourage growth. Prerequisite: HG 132 Introductory Microeconomics or permission of instructor. (Offered on a rotating basis)
