What we know
- From the catalog
- This course explores theories of the formation, existence, and growth of urban economies, the relationship between where production is located and industrial organization and trade, and the internal organization of cities. It further covers land and housing markets, pricing and resource allocation in urban transportation, the economics of local government, local public goods, property taxes, and zoning, and the economics of income and race segregation in urban areas. ECO 421 and ECO 209 cannot both be taken for credit.
