1 .... Economics 625 Urban I Regional Economics Tentative Course Outline Professor M. Greenwood Fall 1983 I. Urban and Regional Growth A. What is a city? What do we mean by the term "region"? We will then relate these issues to the types of data with which an urban/regional economist might work. Assignment: Lecture notes. B. Why do cities exist? Reading concerns the productivity of cities. Assignment: Bibliography [9], [11], [12], [14], [15], [16], [18] and lecture notes. C. Location and Interregional Trade Assignment: [21], [22], [25], [26] and lecture.notes. D. Why does urbanization occur? Reading concerns migration. Assignment: [30], [33], [34], [35] and lecture notes. E. Why do cities/regions grow? Reading concerns theories and models of urban/regional growth, including export base, resource base, neoclassical, econometric models (including simultaneous equations), input-output, and economic/demographic simulation models. Assignment: 1 Introduction: [ 39]. 2. Neoclassical: [45], [43]. 3. Export base: [46], [ 47], [49], [ 51] 4. Resource base : [41]. 5. Econometric models: [36], [38], [57], [58]. 6. Input-Output: [54]. 7. Economic/demographic simulation models. 8. Central Place. 9. Other techniques: Gravity models [59]. Shift-share [52], [53]. F. Development of the mononuclear city. Assignment: Lecture notes. G. Contemporary U.S. urban/regional growth experience. Assignment: [65], [66], [67], [68], [69].

Empirical evidence Assignment: [76], [77], [78], [79], [80], [85]. Requirements: 1. Short Critique (not to exceed 10 pages) of a paper drawn from the literature.
