Regions, space and economic policy 2400-EN3SL205B
The first part of the course will be devoted to the review of existing studies concerning regional development, regional policy and spatial econometric analysis. The importance of the above issues is systematically increasing which is particularly visible at the time of analyzing new econometric tools. During the course we will discuss the possibility of formal economic analysis of issues that up to now were not necessarily covered by the mainstream economy.
The second part of the course will be dedicated to preparation of the B.A. thesis. Students will have to choose the subject of interest and then systematically present their advances to other participants of the course.
