Research Papers in Environmental and Spatial Analysis were re-launched in 1996 with a new subtitle, reflecting the changing interests of researchers in the LSE Department. The papers aim to get research findings out quickly to those who may be interested, even though these findings may be in somewhat preliminary form. Obtaining constructive comments on the contents of papers are one of the main objectives of the series, and authors value these greatly.
If you would like to obtain hard-copies of these papers you should contact the Department and we will send you the requested materials. Electronic copies of the most recent papers (from no.52 onwards) are available below in pdf format.
