Economics and
Economic Development
Theory and Methods
Mary E. Edwards
Thorough and authoritative, Regional and Urban Economics and Economic
Development: Theory and Methods provides a sound approach to analyzing the
economic progress of a region or urban area.
The book is divided into four sections for ease of reference. The first section, Market
Areas and Firm Location Analysis, introduces spatial economics and location theory,
while the next section, Regional Growth and Development, analyzes regional growth
and development models and policy. Introducing the foundations of urban economics,
Urban Land Use and Urban Form examines land rent, land use patterns, and the
effects of attempts to control land uses. The final section, Urban Problems and
Policy, investigates local public finance and introduces the policy analysis involved
in countering urban problems.
Addressing these topics from the perspectives of how they affect the population at
large and how they become established within public policy, Regional and Urban
Economics and Economic Development: Theory and Methods provides an essential
foundation not only to understand but also to contemplate the dynamics of varying
economic factors as they relate to an area s growth.

Mary E. Edwards
Thorough and authoritative, Regional and Urban Economics and Economic
Development: Theory and Methods provides a sound approach to analyzing the
economic progress of a region or urban area.
The book is divided into four sections for ease of reference. The first section, Market
Areas and Firm Location Analysis, introduces spatial economics and location theory,
while the next section, Regional Growth and Development, analyzes regional growth
and development models and policy. Introducing the foundations of urban economics,
Urban Land Use and Urban Form examines land rent, land use patterns, and the
effects of attempts to control land uses. The final section, Urban Problems and
Policy, investigates local public finance and introduces the policy analysis involved
in countering urban problems.
Addressing these topics from the perspectives of how they affect the population at
large and how they become established within public policy, Regional and Urban
Economics and Economic Development: Theory and Methods provides an essential
foundation not only to understand but also to contemplate the dynamics of varying
economic factors as they relate to an area's growth.
