Internal news

In Memoriam Professor Åke E. Andersson passed away on 14 August 2021, at the age of 85. Our thoughts go to his family, friends and colleagues. Åke’s research focused on regional development, especially the importance of economies of scale and interdependencies between firms, households and other actors. Åke was an intellectual giant also internationally and a centre of gravity in regional science in all continents. In 2005 professor Andersson received the European Prize in Regional Science during the 45th ERSA Congress in Amsterdam. read more
