HG 333 Regional and Urban Economics
3 credits (AS)
Regional and Urban Economics is the study of the
location of economic activity. We consider why cities
form and grow; changes in urban form; changes in
transportation technology; and the conditions that
facilitate economic development. Two distinct aspects
about location that are of interest to us are the distance
from other economic activity and the income of
households in a place. Relying heavily on market concepts
developed in introductory economics, we study location
theory for firms relative to markets, and explore issues
related to government efforts to encourage growth.
(Offered on a rotating basis) Prerequisite: HG 132
Microeconomics or permission of instructor
HG 334 State and Local
Public Economics
3 credits (AS)
The primary objective of this course is to provide the
basis for evaluating both efficiency and equity of subfederal
taxation and spending. Many of the same issues
are relevant for states and local governments as at the
federal level, while some issues are altogether different.
For example, federal governments do not need to be
concerned about tax competition, but local governments
do; and development is an inherently local activity.
