On regional development and dynamic models.

Frederick T. Moore

Expert InsightsPublished 1961

A discussion of the problem of criteria for regional development. The author examines one type of growth model, based on the maximization of the output-investment ratio. This apparently persuasive way of looking at the problem of growth is shown to have some serious flaws. In addition, a reformulation of a regional growth model is presented, and some results of its application to the economy of the State of California are analyzed.
