In memory of Professor Johannes Bröcker (1950-2021)
Johannes Bröcker, a long-time member of RSAI, passed away after a short illness on January 19, 2021 at the age of 70. He was an active member of ERSA and a regular participant in the German-speaking section. He served on the editorial boards of several journals, most prominently the Annals of Regional Science and Spatial Economic Analysis. His undergraduate degree was from Freiburg and his master and doctoral degrees and habilitation were from Kiel. With the exception of the period from 1990-2000 when he served as the Chair in Macroeconomics and Regional Science at the University of Dresden, his career was centered in Kiel. His last appointment, dating from 2000 until he retired in 2015, was as Chair in International and Regional Economics.
Johannes was a brilliant theoretical and applied spatial economist; his advisor, Karin Peschel, (who sadly passed away in June 2020) had worked with Andreas Predhöl on her doctorate and with Rolf Funck on her habilitation and she imbued that strong German location theory tradition in Johannes’ work that later included his support and active participation in the August Lösch Prize committee. Johannes was the progenitor of the development of spatial computable general equilibrium models and the work reflected his firm foundation in location theory (Bröcker, 1995) where he drew on the work of Lösch and Chamberlin and in the formulation of flows in multi-economy models (Bröcker, 1989). Subsequently, he provided some integration of general equilibrium and transportation systems (Bröcker and Mercenier, 2011). However, one of his most highly cited articles (Bröcker, 1988) developed an operational spatial computable equilibrium model building up from Arrow-Debreu equilibrium under perfect competition. The model was promoted as one that was both transparent and parsimonious (in terms of the number of equations) and perfectly illustrated Johannes’ ability to move effectively from strong theoretical foundations through empirical implementation. This model and subsequent version were used in a wide variety of applications assessing the impacts of infrastructure investment (especially transportation), transport and trade policy and the impacts of cohesion policies.
He loved to attend meetings and seminars where he enjoyed asking penetrating, imaginative questions; one sensed that he enjoyed being a scholar and the enthusiasm for his work resonated strongly in his publications.

Second and Extended Edition of the Handbook of Regional Science is now officially published!
Second and Extended Edition of the Handbook of Regional Science -- a large, multi-volume major reference work with a total of 2,318 pages -- is now officially published!
Handbook of Regional Science
Manfred M. Fischer, Peter Nijkamp (Eds.)
- Covers well-established and newly emerging topics
- Accessible and relevant to both students and researchers
- Prepared by respected scientists in the field
The Handbook of Regional Science is a multi-volume reference work providing state-of-the-art information, prepared by respected scientists in the field. This second edition includes new sections on the history of regional science, and on regional policy. It has been thoroughly updated to reflect new developments, including new chapters on R&D collaboration networks, knowledge spillovers, web-based tools for exploratory spatial data analysis, fuzzy modeling, multivariate spatial process models, heterogeneous coefficient spatial regression panel models, and endogeneity in spatial models, among others. The multi-volume handbook covers the field of regional science comprehensively, including topics such as location and interaction, regional housing and labor markets, regional economic growth, innovation and regional economic development, regional policy in emerging markets, new economic geography and evolutionary economic geography, environmental and natural resources, spatial analysis and geocomputation, as well as spatial statistics and spatial econometrics. The book is intended to serve the needs of graduate students, beginning and experienced scientists in regional science and related fields with an interest in exploring local and regional socio-economic issues.
TU Wien: Full professor for Urban and Regional Research
University Professor
for the specialist field of urban and regional research
This is a professorship regulated by § 98 of the 2002 Universities Act (UG).
The position as professor for Urban and Regional Research has been allocated in TU Wien’s development plan to the research focal areas “Energy and Environment”, “Information and Communications Technology” and “Additional Fields of Research”.
We are looking for a personality who has already succeeded in making outstanding scientific achievements in the field of urban and regional research. Candidates are expected to have international-level expertise in relevant theoretical approaches and urban and regional research concepts. Other essential requirements also include having a sound knowledge of the broad range of methods used in quantitative urban and regional analysis. Candidates should be well-versed in designing and applying digital methods (such as in the field of Geographic Information Systems) for visualizing, explaining and modelling spatial structures, developments and transformation processes. Knowledge of spatial development policy and participation in corresponding international professional discourses are also desirable. In doing so, they should have demonstrated that they are able to apply this knowledge innovatively and taking account of the interfaces between quantitative and qualitative analysis methods (mixed methods) for issues related to spatial planning. Within the framework of this theoretical and methodological focus, the candidate is also expected to make excellent contributions to publications, funding and teaching work, support intra- and inter-faculty cooperation, and foster international research and teaching ties for scientific activities in the field of research.
The duties of a university professor at TU Wien include, in addition to research, teaching activities (in German and in English) in the Bachelor, Master and PhD degree programmes, as well as collaboration in the management of the institute and the faculty. The future incumbent will be expected not only to have relevant teaching experience but also to show a high level of commitment to research-led academic teaching, which requires the development of corresponding subject teaching models. Expertise and openness to interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as the ability to work in a team, are also required.
