The new Handbook of Regional and Urban Economics: Cities and
Geography reviews, synthesizes and extends the key developments in
urban and regional economics and their strong connection to other
recent developments in modern economics. Of particular interest is
the development of the new economic geography and its incorporation
along with innovations in industrial organization, endogenous
growth, network theory and applied econometrics into urban and
regional economics.
The chapters cover theoretical developments concerning the forces
of agglomeration, the nature of neighborhoods and human capital
externalities, the foundations of systems of cities, the
development of local political institutions, regional
agglomerations and regional growth. Such massive progress in
understanding the theory behind urban and regional phenomenon is
consistent with on-going progress in the field since the late
1960's. What is unprecedented are the developments on the empirical
side: the development of a wide body of knowledge concerning the
nature of urban externalities, city size distributions, urban
sprawl, urban and regional trade, and regional convergence, as well
as a body of knowledge on specific regions of the world-Europe,
Asia and North America, both current and historical.
The Handbook is a key reference piece for anyone wishing to
understand the developments in the field.
