Potential impacts of climate change on the ecology of dengue and its mosquito vector the Asian tiger mosquito ( Aedes albopictus)
Shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns caused by global climate change may have profound impacts on the ecology of certain infectious diseases. We examine the potential impacts of climate change on the transmission and maintenance dynamics of dengue, a resurging mosquito-vectored infectious disease. In particular, we project changes in dengue season length for three cities: Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL and Lubbock, TX. These cities are loca…
Geography and the Changing Landscape of Higher Education
Colleges and universities in the USA and many other countries find themselves in a deepening financial challenge that is significantly influencing operating decisions as well as student access to higher education. These trends are attributed to the weakened finances of governments, competition from non-discretionary public spending, the nature of education as a service industry and the fraying of the social contract between higher education and t…
Public accountability in non-profit industrial development organisations
Les organisations de développement industriel à but non lucratif constituent une réaction courante mais jusqu’ici peu étudiée au phénomène, très répandu aux USA, de la désindustrialisation. Ces organisations peuvent être des sociétés enregistrées en tant que corporation à but non lucratif ou bien des agences sous l’égide des pouvoirs publics ou des collectivités locales. La plupart d’entre elles bénéficient, au moins partiellement, d’un financeme…

The International Flows of Industrial Exports from U.S. Regions
It is widely recognized that increasing global economic integration plays a significant role in the industrial restructuring of many regional economies in the U.S. Yet the absence of information on trade flows between component regions of the U.S. and foreign destinations has hampered meaningful research on the impacts of international trade on specific regions. A matrix of export flows for the manufacturing sector is constructed by merging two C…

Industrial Development Organizations and the Local Dependence Hypothesis
Export Performance and State Industrial Growth
This research examines whether state industrial growth over the past decade has occurred independently of changes in manufacturing exports and whether export employment growth responds to the same economic and locational forces as employment growth in domestic production. The empirical results indicate that employment and value added growth are not independent of export sales growth; however, a shift toward export markets is not strongly associat…
Local Industrial Development Groups
Local industrial development groups (LIDGs) are often among the most visible organizations involved in community economic development. LIDGs annually spend billions of dollars directly or indirectly in various promotional and community improvement efforts. Yet relatively little is known about their organizational forms, their operating strategies, or their real impact on the economic development of communities. The study reported here was underta…
The Spatial Patterns of Employment Change in Large American Metropolises
The patterns of economic activity dispersal that have characterized metropolitan areas and their suburbs since the late 1940s are examined using employment data compiled for municipalities. Measures of the spatial distribution of employment permitted the analysis of intermetropolitan, intersectoral, and intrasuburban patterns of economic change over three decade-long periods in ten large MSAs located predominantly in the northeastern part of the …
The effects of enterprise zones on local property markets
Erickson R. A. and Syms P. M. (1986) The effects of enterprise zones on local property markets, Reg. Studies 20, 1–14. The local property market is a principal mechanism through which the effects of the enterprise zone and programme are distributed. Different responses by businesses and developers generate a complex set of possible outcomes. In addition, the boundary problem emerges as a ‘dual local property market’. Based on different combinatio…
Multinucleation in Metropolitan Economies
Metropolitan form has changed significantly over the past few decades; economic activities are increasingly concentrated in suburban nucleations. In this paper I specify models of the multinucleation process on the basis of the investment decisions of business firms in different economic sectors. Regression analysis is used to explain the changing density of business establishments with data for suburban municipalities in the Boston, Milwaukee, a…

Employment Density Variation in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area
Traditional density models have used a single gradient to depict the employment distribution over metropolitan space. However, different processes have characterized city and suburban development, and suburban gradients are not simple extensions of central city ones. Analysis of employment data for the Baltimore standard metropolitan statistical area in 1974 indicates that differences in markets and transportation costs help to account for observ…

Corporate organization and manufacturing branch plant closures in non-metropolitan areas
Erickson R. A. (1980) Corporate organization and manufacturing branch plant closures in non-metropolitan areas, Reg. Studies 14, 491–501. The establishment of branch plants in non-metropolitan areas by metropolitan-based corporations has substantially increased manufacturing employment in many of the former regions. However, there has been speculation that, because branch plants are relatively easy to establish, corporations would be likely to cl…
Race and Resources in Large American Cities
Information on race, poverty, and socioeconomic variables for an extensive sample of neighborhoods in the 25 largest American cities was factor analyzed to examine underlying relationships. A dominant factor emerged in both central city and sub urban observation sets similar to that documented previously in certain single city ecologies and labeled "race and resources." This factor is comprised of poverty, family (dis)organization, and race varia…
Sub-Regional Impact Multipliers
The principal intraregional mechanisms for income spread effects are work force commuting and procurement purchasing of major economic activities. A framework is articulated for estimating total income which accrues to peripheral communities from a specific income source. The relationship between generated community income and total direct regional income attributable to the activity define a sub-regional impact multiplier. Key elements in the fr…

In the mid-1960s growth poles came to be viewed, in the spatial context of a region, as towns or cities possessing a com…
