Learning Objectives
The course aims at providing students with the fundamental theoretical concepts of regional economics, regional economic growth, and industry localization. Further, it addresses the theories of economic development on a local scale by focusing on the phenomenon of industrial districts, the connections between productive decentralization and territorial development and the analysis of spatial interaction. The last part of the course analyses both the critical aspects of local economic development, global integration, and its future challenges.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding: the student will acquire knowledge and skills enabling her/him to understand basic theories of regional growth and local development, business location choices and economies resulting from the agglomeration of economic activities in industrial, regional and urban areas.
Applying knowledge and understanding: the student will acquire the theoretical and empirical tools to understand the dynamics of local and regional economic systems, the factors influencing the location choices of economic activities and the evolution of economic activities on the territory. The approach facilitates the understanding of the topics also with the support of data and statistics that can help to better understand the economic phenomena studied.
Making judgements: the student will develop the critical ability to assess the functioning of markets in different regional areas, the role of the spatial dimension, the availability of natural resources, physical, social and human capital, technological innovation, location factors and the spatial patterns of productive activities.
Communication skills: the student will develop the ability to discuss with sound terminology and arguments the knowledge and the main results of research in the field, in written and oral form, also with the help of reports, graphs and analytical tools. The possibility to carry out group work and in-depth studies on specific topics allows the acquisition of the skills described.
Learning skills: the student will learn the functioning of economic models for the analysis of regional economy and the location of productive activities.
