In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of urban economics. Starting with the canonical model of equilibrium between transport costs and land prices, the student will understand the economic logic behind the behavior of individuals within urban areas and its consequences for cities. From this base, the course aims to introduce the student to the analysis of urban public policies, the real estate market and local taxation. Elements of transport economics and crime economics will also be explored in an introductory manner.
