Steven Brakman joins the Journal of Regional Science Editorial
Team
Steven Brakman has joined Marlon Boarnet and Mark
Partridge as co-editor of the Journal of
Regional Science. Matthew Kahn, co-editor since 2007, has left the
editorial team to devote more time to his research and duties at the University
of California, Los Angeles. Kahn will join past editors Andrew Haughwout, Walter
Isard, Ronald Miller, Gordon Mulligan, and David Plane on the journal’s
Advisory Board of Former Editors. The journal’s editorial offices will remain
at UC Irvine.
Brakman provides an editorial presence in Europe,
expanding the journal’s international reach. He is Professor of International
Economics at the University of Groningen, and honorary Professor at the
University of Antwerp, Belgium. He was born in the political capital of
Holland, The Hague. He studied economics at the University of Groningen where
he graduated in 1981. His first working experience was at the Research
Department of the Central Bank of the Netherlands, working mainly on monetary
issues. He returned to the University of Groningen in 1985 to work on his Ph D,
which was finished in 1991. His work has been published in the Journal of Regional Science, Regional Science and Urban Economics, Journal of Urban Economics, Journal of Economic Geography, and Regional Studies. The second edition of
his book The New Introduction to
Geographical Economics (Cambridge University Press), co-authored with Harry
Garretsen and Charles van Marrewijk, has just been published. His website is: http://www.eco.rug.nl/~brakman/.
Since 1958, the Journal
of Regional Science has been the premier outlet for regional science
scholarship. The JRS will publish its
50th volume in 2010. That volume will feature a Golden Anniversary issue, guest
edited by Gilles Duranton, which will convene leaders in regional science and
allied fields who will collectively assess emerging research opportunities and
challenges. The journal publishes original analytical research at the
intersection of economics and quantitative geography. This includes rigorous
methodological contributions and seminal theoretical pieces. The JRS is one of the most highly cited
journals in urban and regional research, planning, geography, and the
environment. The JRS continues to
publish work that advances our understanding of the geographic dimensions of
urban and regional economies, human settlements, and policies related to cities
and regions. Articles appearing in recent issues cover the full span of topics
within regional science, and submissions on all regional science topics are
welcomed.
