Southern Regional Economics In The 1990's: Back To Basics? (Presidential Address, April 9, 1994)

The Review of Regional Studies, 1995, vol. 25, issue 1, 1-11

Abstract: This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the founding of the Southern Regional Science Association. It also marks the 20th anniversary of my career as a regional economist. While that may not seem long to economists in general, regional science and regional economics are relatively young fields of specialization. I spent the entire 20 years of my career in the South, as a Southern regional economist. As such, I feel somewhat qualified to speak on the state of Southern regional economics-where it has been, what the current state of the profession of regional economics is in the South, and where I think it should be headed. This is not a scholarly, exhaustive literature review of Southern regional science, but rather a highly personal view of where its author and Southern regional economics have been during the last 20 years and where they should be headed.
