Economic geography and the unequal development of regions

Primary tabs

Prager, Jean Claude [Économiques de la Société du Grand Paris] Thisse, Jacques-François [UCL]

Behind the mystery of economic growth stands another mystery: Why do some places fare better than others? Casual evidence shows that sizable differences exist at very different spatial scales (countries, regions and cities). This book aims to discuss the main economic reasons for the existence of peaks and troughs in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, with a special emphasis on the role of large cities and regional agglomerations in the process of economic development.
