To analyze urban economics, network economics, labor economics and growth together, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective, is really remarkable. --Yves Zenou, Journal of Economic Geography Ioannides should be praised to have written a stimulating book that tries to interrelate social and spatial levels of complex economic phenomena. It is worth noting that this is something that should have more followers also in econometrics. --Andreas Koch, JASSS [T]his is a very nice book on a very complex and wide topic.
