Abstract

This article presents abstracts of research articles on economic geography. In the article "Windfall Gains From Transfer of Water Allotments Within the Colorado-Big Thompson Project" some question has been raised about the propriety of individuals receiving windfall gains from the sale and transfer of Colorado-Big Thompson Project water allotments within the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. As the nonfarm demand for water has risen, nonirrigation users of water have been buying allotments from farmers. According to the article "Economic and Social Disparities Between Central Cities and Their Suburbs," to test the validity of what may be called a stereotype of central city-suburban economic and social differences, a multiple regression analysis was undertaken with reference to the following questions. The stereotype of low economic and social status in central cities and high status in the suburbs was found to be valid only for the largest SMSAs and those located in the Northeast.
