Spatial Economics

Code: ECO-3509-1

Faculty: Priyam Verma

What forces make some places very productive and attract migrants despite being over-crowded? This course focuses on measuring the forces that influence the rise and fall of cities, especially in developing countries, and on modeling why households and firms move to large cities. We will learn to answer questions such as what are the benefits of building a bullet train, is rural to urban migration good, what are the gains from increasing domestic trade. For policy-relevant questions, we will also quantify the welfare gains from lowering spatial frictions in trading economies.
