Topics include:
Spatial inequality : how and why does economic prosperity vary across cities, regions, and countries?
Spatial interdependence : how locations are interconnected by networks (e.g. supply chains, social networks) and what are the economic consequences of these (e.g. on economic growth, macroeconomic policies)
Spatial policy : what is the best policy to influence economic outcomes, taking the above into account (e.g. promoting economic mobility; ensuring self-sustaining rather than transitory impacts)

The ideal candidate will minimize the time burden on Prof Norris: anything they can do to achieve this is highly valued. Please emphasize qualities pertaining to this in your application.
