A View from Agricultural and Applied Economics

Abstract

Is regional science too focused on abstract models, theorizing, and methodology with weak links to policy and practice? Not from the perspective of the land grant university, where many applied economists with a regional science interest reside. The job of these applied economists is, in part, to translate the models and methods into tools for the use in understanding regional development processes and for undertaking policy analysis at the regional level.
