Urban Public Economics Review (UPER)
http://www.uper.org/

The Urban Public Economics Review (UPER) is a six-monthly journal dedicated to provides a focal point for the publication of research papers in the expanding field of urban public economics. The local public economics plays its role in a particular context owing to global economics, technological changes, large conurbations, environmental problems, aging population and the transition towards a type of economy based on knowledge and the society of information. In this framework, local public economics are turning into urban public economics. Imbalance between the institutional scheme and the real territory, triggers negative effects on the social welfare that public policies are trying to secure. For a variety of reasons, linked to the development of urban settings, rural and urban public finances face increasing financial difficulties. Nevertheless, quantitatively speaking, the former one shows to have turned into just a residual problem. On the other hand, the service sector of local governments, are heading for “intermunicipality”. Thus, the exploitation of economics of scale is tried to be faced up, to get financial margins for inversion, contribute to environmental management and fight against exclusion. Urban Public Economics Review is available free of charge as an Open Access journal on the Internet. Abstracts available online. Articles available in PDF format.
