Features: Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's economic field has encountered a series of major hot issues in the field of medical economy, such as: headquarters economy, revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China, the implementation of the Western Development Strategy, and the coordinated regional economic development of the Bohai Rim economic circle. To uphold the spirit of keeping pace with the times in academia and fully reflect the new concept of regional economic development in theory and methodology, the new edition of Regional Economics has added a chapter on "Headquarters Economy," updated most of the content in the chapter "Case Studies of China's Regional Economy," and removed some outdated and obsolete content. The chapter on "Headquarters Economy" systematically introduces the emergence and development of headquarters economy, its basic concepts and economic explanations, the "economic effects" and characteristics of headquarters economy, comprehensively interpreting the theoretical and practical significance of headquarters economy. Through case analysis, it conducts empirical research on headquarters economy. With the further deepening of China's economic reforms, the regional economic theories, methodologies, and case studies introduced and elaborated in this book are increasingly closely related to the realities of China's economic life. We firmly believe that mastering the theories and methodologies in this book will help readers explain various economic phenomena and government's major economic strategic measures in the current economic life. Therefore, we hope this book will not only serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in economics but also benefit a broad readership interested in researching China's regional economy.
