Regional economic disparities in income and labour market outcomes within advanced economies have been on the rise since the early 1980s. In the first part of the seminar we focus on the current research literature in urban economics on the reasons for increasing regional disparities. In the second part we discuss to what extent the rise of populism and right-wing voting and can be linked to regional inequality.
A component of the seminar is an ungraded presentation.
Required: A good understanding of econometrics and interest in economic history.
Max. 20 participants.
