Wilson Economic structure
and rates of economic growth vary across space, as
observed in urban-rural, center city-suburb and
interregional differentials. This course explores
the theoretical explanations and empirical analyses
of the functioning of spatial economies and
provides a conceptual and analytical framework for
investigating those aspects of urban and regional
economies that are relevant to local, regional, and
federal governance and policy issues. Information

Development Policy Rui Baptista,
Amado da Silva The course covers
several topics on public policy regarding the
industrial and services sectors, focusing
particularly on the impact of technology (taken as
broad concept which includes the specific nature of
goods, services and cost structures) on the need
for public policy to promote market efficiency and
also the competitiveness of national
firms. Seminar Project on
"Technology Policy" or "Technology
Commercialisation" M. V.
Heitor This course is
aimed to provide the students with the necessary
skills for the realization of engineering projects
involving the management of technology or policy
aspects. It runs for the full year (3 trimesters)
and is to be coordinated by the each student
supervisior. The students must deliver a progress
report at the end of each term, which will be
evaluated and used for student classification. The
Projects should be defined based on the personal
interests of each student and consider one of the
following options: |
