The Journal of Regional Analysis & Policy Free Online

The Association’s journal, the Journal of Regional Analysis & Policy (JRAP) is now an open access Journal. It is freely available online. This reflects our belief that, in the foreseeable future, all such information will be delivered electronically and without cost to researchers. This is our effort to give your work maximum exposure to colleagues from around the world. You can obtain the entire 36-year catalogue of the Journal. Visit the JRAP Website to peruse recent volumes.


2008 Annual Conference Co-Hosted with IMPLAN

Continuing our very successful partnership co-hosting the MCRSA annual conference, we will be teaming with the Minnesota IMPLAN Group to co-host the 2008 conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Paul Kozlowski, recently retired and now living in his home located in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, will serve as the local host.

Participants at the 2006 conference in Indianapolis, the first year that MCRSA and IMPLAN teamed, reported a very vibrant meeting and satisfying learning experience. Approximately 120 were in attendance, with roughly equal balance of MCRSA and IMPLAN papers and participants. The IMPLAN folks indicated that they really liked access to the broader MCRSA fare, while many MCRSA folks participated and contributed to IMPLAN sessions.

So, make plans to be in Colorado Springs in early June, 2008. More details will follow as plans are firmed up.
