Abstract

At the 38th North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI) held in New Orleans in November 1991, a three-hour session was devoted to the teaching of regional economics. In this session, organized by James Kurre of Pennsylvania State University-Erie, eight individuals described "how" they teach the undergraduate regional economics course at their home institutions. Two panels were convened. In the first, John Blair, Roger Bolton, Jarvin Emerson, and Frank Giarratani described course structure and content. In the latter panel devoted to course projects, participants included Andrew Isserman, James Kurre, William Latham, and Karen Polenske. All of those participating in these presentations agreed that such an exchange of ideas was very beneficial and would likely be of interest to a larger audience than that attending the RSAI meetings. Given this potential interest, the editors asked the six participants who currently teach undergraduate regional economics within economics (as opposed to planning) departments to prepare short papers describing their courses for publication in the Review. Each author (teacher) was requested to comment upon: (1) the "goals" for his course, (2) the nature of the students in attendance, (3) the text employed as well as any supplementary reading material, (4) course content, and (5) any special projects or assignments. Although reading lists and other class material are not included in what follows, each contributor has agreed to make such information available upon request.
