Understand the fundamental concepts of regional economics, the key economic forces that interact in space and how space influences market formation.
To understand the extension of the use of the concepts and tools of microeconomic analysis in spatial matters, to know indicators and quantitative methods of measuring regional development, interregional inequalities, interregional interactions, regional convergences or divergences and to measure regional inequalities with quantitative indicators and distinguish strong and sick regions.
To get to know how the economy works at a regional level, how economic growth is distributed across regions, the relationships that can be created between regions and the process by which the economy of one region interacts with the economy of other regions.
To know how the availability of production factors affects the economic activity in the area, at an inter-regional level.
