Opis

This book brings together various contributions to the field of spatial equilibrium modelling, including overviews from different perspectives, new theoretical results and applications. Some recent developments receive ample attention, such as instruments in spatial price equilibrium models, externalities and spatial equilibrium, and the integration of spatial and general equilibrium notions.

O autorze

Peter Nijkamp is Professor in Regional and Urban Economics and in Economic Geography at the VU University, Amsterdam. His main research interests cover quantitative plan evaluation, regional and urban modelling, multicriteria analysis, transport systems analysis, mathematical systems modelling, technological innovation, entrepreneurship, environmental and resource management, and sustainable development. In the past years he has focussed his research in particular on new quantitative methods for policy analysis, as well as on spatial-behavioural analysis of economic agents. He has a broad expertise in the area of public policy, services planning, infrastructure management and environmental protection. In all these fields he has published many books and numerous articles.
In 1996, he was awarded the most prestigious scientific prize in the Netherlands, the Spinoza award.
