Spatial Economics 2 Vols

'Masahisa Fujita is undoubtedly the leading scholar in spatial economics. Being the (co-) author of the two main books in urban economics and economics of geography, he was especially well qualified to edit this collection of readings in that field. Anyone who wishes to get acquainted with the fundamental contributions in spatial economics, a lively and growing field of research, now has the opportunity to access all of them through a single volume. We should all be grateful to him for this wonderful job.'
- Jacques-François Thisse, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
This authoritative two-volume collection presents a selection of seminal articles investigating the spatial aspect of economic processes and development. Special attention is given to the economics of agglomeration and examining the fundamental issue of the formation and concentration of economic activity in geographical space.
These volumes comprise the most important articles published during the last 50 years on the economic modelling of endogenous mechanisms leading to agglomeration.
Spatial Economics will be essential reading for students and researchers alike.
