Summary |
"Economic Geography and Public Policy illustrates many new policy insights economic geography models can offer to the realm of theoretical policy analysis. Focusing primarily on trade policy, tax policy, and regional policy, Richard Baldwin and coauthors show how these models can be used to make sense of real-world situations. The book provides much fresh analysis but also synthesizes insights from the existing literature. It is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers seeking new approaches to spatial policy issues."--BOOK JACKET |
