Regional economics is a subfield of economics that focuses on the economic development of specific regions or areas, rather than looking at the economy as a whole. It examines how different regions vary in terms of their economic activity, resources, industries, and overall development. Researchers in regional economics study factors such as regional economic growth, income inequality, poverty levels, industrial specialization, and regional disparities. They also investigate how factors such as transportation, government policy, natural resources, and human capital influence the economic performance of regions. Overall, regional economics seeks to understand the unique economic characteristics of different regions and develop policies and strategies to promote balanced and sustainable regional development. It often involves collaboration between economists, policymakers, and local governments to address economic challenges specific to particular regions.
