About this book
Regional Science is now more than 50 years old; in the last two decades, significant advances in methodology have occurred, spurred in large part by access to computers. The range of analytical techniques now available is enormous; this books provides a sampling of the toolkit that is now at the disposal of analysts interested in understanding and interpreting the complexity of the spatial structure of sub- national economies. The set of tools ranges from the more traditional (input-output) to new developments in computable general equilibrium models, nonlinear dynamics, neural modelling and innovation.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“‘Tool Kits’ is an intriguing phrase. Many readers will pick up this book for a quick look. … describes tools at many levels of abstraction. … The long list of references is also valuable. I learned something here. … useful for some students. … It is an erudite, and interesting, essay, and I recommend it. … The book may well have something for you, and you should look it over at least briefly. … Certainly I found various parts of the book useful.” (Roger Bolton, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 51 (5), 2011)Bibliographic Information
