Journal of Regional Science (JRS)

The Journal of Regional Science is a leading peer‑reviewed scholarly journal in the field of regional science, first published in 1958. It focuses on rigorous analytical research that examines spatial phenomena influencing regions, cities, and local economies. The journal emphasizes contributions rooted in economics and quantitative regional analysis, including spatial econometric modeling, regional economic growth, migration and labor market dynamics, urban systems, land use, location theory, and policy evaluation. Research published in the journal employs empirical methods, theoretical insights, or methodological innovations to deepen understanding of the geographic dimensions of economic and social interactions across regions. Articles are typically interdisciplinary, drawing on economics, geography, planning, and related social sciences to address topical issues such as regional inequality, demographic change, housing markets, transportation effects, and environmental influences on spatial development. As part of Wiley‑Blackwell’s portfolio, the journal maintains a rigorous peer review process and is indexed in major academic databases, making it a central outlet for scholars seeking to contribute to academic debate and policy‑relevant research in regional science.
