Bangkok and Urban Economics

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses Bangkok as the cultural and economic epicenter of Thailand. As a large urban and economic area it provides a great many positive benefits for the economic welfare of the population and the state. The paper further discusses how among some of these acknowledged benefits are employment opportunities that would not otherwise exist, higher salaries in most employment categories, an overall lower cost of living, as well as increased productivity because of the concentration of labor (Clark 14-18). Some of these positive benefits for the local population if the Bangkok metropolitan area can be seen in the overall figures relating to poverty indicate that these are in fact true of the city.
