We are pleased to announce that we are organizing the 3rd “International Workshop on Regional, Urban, and Spatial Economics in China” on 6-7 June, 2014 at China Center for Economic Studies (CCES), Fudan University in Shanghai, China. The objective of this workshop is to increase the visibility of regional economics, urban economics, and spatial economics in China and to develop a stronger research network for top level Chinese scholars. We welcome submissions on any research issues on regional, urban, and spatial economics in China including on the following topics:
Investment and regional development
Labor market and inter-regional, rural-urban migration
Urbanization and urban development
Regional disparities and coordinated development
Agglomeration and New Economic Geography
Sprawl and environmental issues
Environmental and sustainable development
Papers enriching understanding of urban, regional and spatial economics in China
For those who are interested in presenting a paper in the workshop, please submit a draft of a paper or an abstract (paper draft preferred), in English, to ccesconference-AT-fudan.edu.cn by 1 March 2014. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by 1 April 2014 and a complete paper is expected by 15 May 2014.
The workshop will bring together about 40 participants from China and abroad. Each presentation will be about 30 minutes in length with time for questions and discussions to provide constructive feedback for presenters. There will also be opportunities for authors, editors and scholars to interact, network and explore the possibility of developing joint research. After the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to submit their papers for special issues in Annals of Regional Science. If there are enough high-quality papers, we may find another outlet for publication. Editors with Papers in Regional Science, Journal of Regional Science welcome your submissions for papers that better fit those journals. Those papers would be treated as general submissions by those journals.
There is no registration fee for attending the conference, while the participants need to pay their own cost of accommodation and transportation.
