Instructor of Record:

ECON 4300, Economics of Cities, GSU, 2024

Course Content:  

This course will primarily be focused on the study of where economic activity takes place and why economic agents (individuals, firms, and governments) choose to locate near each other and in certain areas. We will also study economic activity that is inherently place-based such as the housing market and local government policy. The course will use economic theory and present empirical evidence (where available) to answer questions such as, “Why do cities exist?” “Why do firms locate near each other?” and “Who benefits from urban economic re-development?”
