Abstract
This paper introduces the special issue on frontier issues in rural and regional development.
Highlights
After several years of organizing the Rural Development and Population sessions at the North American Regional Science Association conferences, we were approached by the editors of the Review to construct a special issue from the 2006 sessions held in Toronto, Canada
Garcilazo and Vincenzo Spiezia, applies a revealing nonparametric analysis to better understand the long-sought sources of differing regional distributions in unemployment rates
Recent work suggests that the regional distribution of unemployment rates is more dependent on geographic location than on national factors
Summary
Frontier Issues in Rural and Regional Development After several years of organizing the Rural Development and Population sessions at the North American Regional Science Association conferences, we were approached by the editors of the Review to construct a special issue from the 2006 sessions held in Toronto, Canada. The Review has done a tremendous service in keeping the regional science community and affiliated fields apprised of just how innovative and interesting rural topics can be, both in themselves and their lessons for broader regional and urban analysis.
