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)

The primary objective of this course is to provide the basis for evaluating both efficiency and equity of sub-federal taxation and spending. Many of the same issues are relevant for states and local governments as at the federal level, while some issues are altogether different. For example, federal governments do not need to be concerned about tax competition, but local governments do; and development is an inherently local activity. Prerequisite: HG 132 Introductory Microeconomics or permission of instructor. (To be offered on a rotating basis)
