The Center for Regional Analysis (CRA) is a collaboration between the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg and the Region Västra Götaland (VGR), which brings together researchers with knowledge and interest in regional transformation and growth. We work for a closer dialogue between research on regional economic conditions and practical applications, for example in the area of regional policy. We are contributing by publishing new research results, giving lectures, seminars and teaching (e.g. through economic geography courses), and participation in podcasts.
