This paper sets the stage for current Treasury research on New Zealand regional socio-economic issues by:

Introducing a regional database and Geographic Information Systems, a new empirical tool for data analysis; and
Illustrating the potential of this data and tools for analysing policy relevant issues by testing some empirical hypotheses derived from the theoretical framework.
