Textbook:Empirical Regional Economics: Economic Base Theory, Models and Applications
Author(s): Richard S. Conway Jr.

Course Description:
This course offers a primer to empirical regional economics, including a comprehensive and systematic overview of the fundamentals, history, development, and applications of economic base models. It not only provides a sound basis for regional economics and regional economic analysis, but it also includes numerous applications of the underlying theory. It has an empirical orientation, highlighting the value of observation and testing in order to explain regional economic behavior. Theory plays an important role in this study, but it is only a starting point.
The course includes three parts:
the first discusses the economic base theory of regional growth and the empirical evidence supporting it,
the second part covers the specification and application of four increasingly complex regional economic models: the economic base model, the input-output model, the interindustry econometric model, and the structural time-series model.
the third part presents forty-eight regional economic case studies organized under seven headings, including economic cycles, economic policy, and regional forecasting.
