The objective of this research is to develop quasi-experimental control group methods that are well suited to geographical research. A group of places where some event of interest did not occur (analagous to no treatment in an experimental design) will be selected as a control group for places where something did occur (analagous to treatment). Approximately 100 case study applications will be examined to determine whether the assumptions of simple quasi-experimental methods can be satisfied. After the geographic quasi-experimental control group methods have been developed and tested in the abstract, they will be applied to substantive research issues in regional economic development to determine their value as a basic research technique.

本研究的目的是开发准实验控制组的方法，非常适合地理研究。将选择一组未发生某些关注事件的位置（类似于实验设计中的无处理）作为发生某些事件的位置的对照组（类似于处理）。大约100个案例研究应用程序将被检查，以确定是否可以满足简单的准实验方法的假设。在地理准实验控制组方法得到发展和抽象测试之后，它们将被应用于区域经济发展中的实质性研究问题，以确定其作为基础研究技术的价值。
