CASS Papers in Economic Geography (CPEG) is a working paper series published by the Centre for Advanced Studies (CASS) at the School of City and Regional Planning, Cardiff University. The series seeks to extend our theoretical and empirical understanding of how economic development and economic trajectories evolve across different spaces and places. In particular, the series is keen to publish papers connecting the economics of place-based development with broader societal and cultural dimensions. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the editors, and in the first instance should be sent to Robert Huggins (HugginsR@cardiff.ac.uk) or Gillian Bristow (BristowG1@cardiff.ac.uk).
