讲座摘要

This lecture explains why it is important to introduce equilibrium modelling when investigating urban development. The lecture reviews the full spectrum of equilibrium modelling, from the extremely partial to the most general, and then explains how to select the most appropriate tool for each research task. This review also reveals where the current econometrics, machine-learning and AI methods can help. It then shows how spatial equilibrium modelling have been applied in Europe and China in the past, and why it is even more relevant to the more steady phase of development such as in the UK and China today. The lecture aims to connect some of the tools that the students already know while introducing a modelling framework that can be applied to real world challenges.
