Economic Geography

Catalog description

This course investigates regional economic processes and associated spatial patterns at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. With a focus on sustainability, the spatial economy is considered both in terms of the factors of production on the one hand and the impact of economic activity on the environment, ecosystems, and human well-being on the other. Basic analytical tools relevant to analyzing and understanding regional economic growth and development, human behavior, and spatial interactions are covered. An introductory course in Geography is strongly suggested and solid math skills are required.
