*Usual apologies for cross-posting* Web Book of Regional Science.
While most of you are aware of the Web Book of Regional Science, I wanted to take the opportunity of a new semester to remind you all of the slate of books, reference materials, and resources that the Regional Research Institute makes available to the public free of charge. Many use the Web Book for their own individual purposes, and many use it to supplement classroom materials. And if you haven’t been to the Web Book site lately, you might be interested to learn that we’ve added a number of “Classics in Regional Science” in recent years, including the entire Scientific Geography Series (Central Place, Gravity Models, Regional Population Projection, Regional IO, Migration, Point Pattern, Transportation, Spatial Autocorrelation, and Spatial Diffusion), and most recently Optimal Location of Facilities by Gerard Rushton, along with “The 1975 West Virginia Input-Output Study: Modeling a Regional Economy,” which includes one of the rare survey-based state-level IO tables. Here’s a complete list of the Web Books: Classics in Regional Science An Introduction to Regional Economics Edgar M. Hoover and Frank Giarratani The 1975 West Virginia Input-Output Study: Modeling A Regional Economy Anthony L. Loviscek, Randy E. Holliday, Lucinda A. Robinson, Melissa A.
