Course content

Lectures are carried out in two methods, the first is a classic lecture on understanding various theories related to regional economics including the concept of region (spatial), classical and modern location theory, and industrial clusters. This is done from the first meeting until before the Mid-Semester Exam. 


The second method (after UTS) is to design classes by providing opportunities for students to compose and present structured papers with selected topics and discussion materials in front of the class in groups. It aims to provide opportunities for students to develop writing skills, present papers and maintain/test students' understanding of various empirical experiences that occur both in various countries and within the country. The topics to be discussed include agglomeration processes, core and periphery, regional disparities, as well as regional economic analysis models: economic base analysis, shift share analysis, input-output models, and SAM models.
