Abstract

Over the last 100 years, Urban and Regional Economics has grown spectacularly as an applied field of Economic Science, using the terminology proposed by Schumpeter in 1954. This discipline has been capable of providing theories and analysis that go far beyond its strict goals. Some of the most interesting economic theories of the past 20 years have been proposed from the perspective of Regional and Urban Economics and we have seen extraordinary growth in the developmenzt of statistical tools for empirical study. However, all this theoretical and technical development has not been accompanied by a clear definition of the fundamental concept of region in Regional Science (Behrens and Thisse 2007).
