In this seminar we are going to analyse in great depth various aspects of Advanced Urban Economics in order to obtain a better understanding of locational distributions of individuals, households, firms, capital and goods and services in cities. Students can largely decide which particular topic they find most interesting. Ultimately, we want to carry out an empirical project in student groups on a topic to be chosen by the students.
Potential areas of interest could be:
- Agglomeration of households in hip neighbourhoods and the impact on housing prices
- Neighbourhood choice and the impact of migration on cities
- Industrial organisation in cities
- Anything topical which students find of interest
