This book contains contributions from friends of Ben Stevens,
remembering and celebrating his life and his work. Following his
untimely death, a set of special sessions were organized for the
program of the November 1998 meetings of the Regional Science
Association International, held in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
In all 41 papers were presented in 11 of these sessions. Those
invited to participate included former colleagues and students from
Ben's days on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania as well
as friends and collaborators from the economics and regional
science community at large - academic, private and
government.
It is the intention of the editors to make available with this book
a selection of current work in regional economics and regional
science. Some of the papers reflect on aspects of Ben's legacy,
suggesting how his early work (in the 1960s) served as a basis for
subsequent theoretical advances or applied developments - for
example, in residential choice theory, in land-use and
transportation modeling and in regional econometric modeling in
general and regional input-output analysis in particular (which
remained one of Ben's primary interests throughout his life). The
variety of topics covered by the papers in this volume is a
testament to the breadth and depth of Ben's active curiosity.
