Dear Colleague,
AQR-IREA is pleased to announce the 2013 BARCELONA WORKSHOP ON REGIONAL AND URBAN ECONOMICS: Agglomeration Economics that will be held on November 28th-29th 2013 at the University of Barcelona.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together cutting-edge research papers on agglomeration economies and urban economics in general. Particular attention will be paid to papers dealing with both micro and macro approaches of agglomeration economies, their production or consumption nature, and of course causes or consequences derived from them. The 2013 AQR-IREA Workshop is also the 4th International ERSA Workshop.
The lecture of the Workshop will be given by Mark Partridge (Ohio State University).
