Setting the Overall Context -- Chapter 2. Regional Allocation of Investment -- Chapter 3. Conflicts in Regional Policy -- Chapter 4. Compatibility between Equity and Efficiency -- Chapter 5. Conclusion. 330 $aApplying the principles of Optimal Control Theory to the problem of regional allocation of investment can be a useful tool for demonstrating how the trade-off between regional equity and overall efficiency can be overcome. This book poses the following questions: are spatial inequalities harmful for overall efficiency? How is the economist to assist the policy-maker in establishing generally applicable criteria or policies when the aims include equity as well as efficiency? Alexiadis analyses the 'equity versus efficiency' dilemma in the allocation of scarce resources, expressing the argument in mathematical terms; an issue of particular importance in development planning and programming. This is invaluable reading for final year and postgraduate students of regional, development and mathematical economics, as well as researchers, policy makers and all those working in regional development institutions. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpace in economics 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aRegional and Spatial Economics 606 $aQuantitative Economics 606 $aPublic Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpace in economics. 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aRegional and Spatial Economics. 615 24$aQuantitative Economics. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a338.9 700 $aAlexiadis$b Stilianos$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062527 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299642003321 996 $aThe Dilemma of Regional Policy$92526370 997 $aUNINA
