Going the distance?—A meta-analysis of the deterring effect of distance in tourism
This meta-analysis summarizes and explains the variation in the deterring effect of distance on tourism flows by analyzing 882 estimates from 140 primary studies utilizing data covering the last 25 years. We find substantial heterogeneity between studies that mostly correlates with (unobserved) study characteristics, estimation methods, and locations of origin and destination. The mean total distance-decay effect, using preferred methods and data…
Uncovering merging and joining as urban expansion processes
Urban expansion studies typically distinguish three main processes: infill, edge expansion, and outlying development. These general processes do not specifically capture another type of urban expansion: the clumping or coalescing of multiple individual urban areas (patches) into one larger urban agglomeration. This paper develops a new Urban Patch Expansion (UPE) framework that characterises coalescence as an urban expansion process that occurs s…
Cities with forking paths? Agglomeration economies in New Zealand 1976–2018
We consider whether external urban economic advantages (agglomeration economies) vary with time and space using detailed micro-data on 134 locations in New Zealand for the period 1976–2018. We find subtle temporal variation, with estimates of agglomeration economies peaking in 1991 and then falling by approximately 1 percentage point in the subsequent 15-years. Since 2006, however, estimates have remained broadly stable; the world has not been ge…
Does Urban form Affect Motorcycle Use? Evidence from Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Motorcycles dominate urban road traffic across Asia. We analyse how urban form influences preferences for motorcycle use, using a multinomial logistic regression model and data from a recent field study in the metropolitan area of Yogyakarta. We find that urban form explains about 20% of the observed variance in transport mode choice and that population density has a statistically significant positive effect on the likelihood of using a motorcycl…

Land use, worker heterogeneity and welfare benefits of public goods
Both Marshall and Jacobs were Right
This article adds to the empirical evidence on the impact of agglomeration externalities on regional growth along three main dimensions. On the basis of data on 259 Europe NUTS2 (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) regions and 15 NACE (Nomenclature statistique des Activités économiques dans la Communauté Européenne) 1.1 2-digit industries for the period 1990–2007, we show that agglomeration externalities are stronger in technology-i…

The Impact of the Indian Ocean Tsunami and the Nias Earthquake on the Spatial Distribution of Population in Northern Sumatra
After the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, Northern Sumatra experienced three shocks: a negative shock from the tsunami itself and the Nias earthquake that followed in 2005; a positive shock from the massive allocation of recovery funds; and another positive shock from the peace deal between the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement, also in 2005. We analyse the consequences of these shocks on the spatial distribution of the population in…
The Krakatau Eruption in 1883
We investigate the impact of the Krakatau eruption in August 1883 on the spatial distribution of population across residencies in Java. The analysis is based on historical data of the indigenous population at residency level covering the period from 1880 to 1928. Based on our empirical analysis we conclude that the Krakatau eruption had no permanent impact on the spatial distribution of the population across regions in Java. The evidence gives su…
The Economic Effectiveness of Diplomatic Representation
This article empirically investigates the contribution of different forms of diplomatic representation to the bilateral trade flows (both exports and imports) of a group of 63 countries. The authors report on the construction of a data set that covers 10,524 diplomatic representations. They use these representations as one of the explanatory variables in an applied trade model (the gravity model) for 3,730 bilateral trade flows in order to measur…
The crisis sensitivity of European countries and regions
We investigate the impact of the recent global recession on European countries and regions. We first identify the heterogeneous impact of the global recession on individual European countries and regions. We then discuss three classes of explanations for spatial heterogeneity in the severity of the crisis: (i) the extent to which countries are integrated in the global economy via financial and trade linkages, (ii) differences in the institutional…
Concentration of Manufacturing and Service Sector Activities in Italy
De Dominicis L., Arbia G. and De Groot H. L. F. Concentration of manufacturing and service sector activities in Italy: accounting for spatial dependence and firm size distribution, Regional Studies. Empirical analysis of the spatial distribution of economic activity on a discrete space is based on measures that suffer from a series of drawbacks. A methodological advance is proposed here in two respects. First, the analysis is extended to take spa…
The Impact of Industrial Sites on Residential Property Values
n Industrial sites cause several negative externalities, such as traffic noise disturbance, congestion, and obstruction of view. In order to quantify the negative effects generated by industrial sites, we estimate ? using a hedonic pricing model ? the impact of distance to industrial sites on residential property values. We use data on houses sold in the Randstad region and in the Province of North-Brabant (both located in the Netherlands) in the…
Valuation of Multi‐functional Land Use by Commercial Investors
The Amsterdam Zuidas area is planned to become a large multi‐functional development area with a mix of offices, dwellings and facilities. As part of a broader empirical investigation, the valuation of multi‐functional land use of this mega‐project by a specific class of stakeholders, namely, commercial investors, is examined in this paper. We are particularly interested in the expected impact of locational characteristics on urban land rent in th…
A Meta‐analysis on the Relationship Between Income Inequality and Economic Growth
In recent years there is a growing interest in determining the impact of inequality on economic growth. Theoretical papers as well as empirical applications have, however, produced controversial results. Although there is a considerable part of the literature that considers inequality detrimental to growth, more recent studies have challenged this result and found a positive effect of inequality on growth. In this paper, we provide a contribution…
The WTP for Facilities at the Amsterdam Zuidas
This paper reports the results of a stated preference study investigating the willingness-to-pay (WTP) of employees at the Amsterdam Zuidas for the presence of nonshopping and shopping facilities. The Amsterdam Zuidas area, surrounding the current train-metro-tram station Amsterdam Zuid World-Trade-Centre, is the largest multifunctional land-use project currently under development in the Netherlands. For nonshopping facilities, the results show t…
The Impact of Perceived Expectations and Uncertainty on Firm Investment
The Institutional Determinants of Bilateral Trade Patterns
This paper studies the effect of institutions on trade flows, using a gravity model approach. Standard gravity equations incorporate factors such as geographical proximity, language, trade policy and common history as explanatory factors for variation in bilateral trade that reflect the costs of trade across geographical and cultural distance. We extend this type of analysis by focusing on the relevance of the quality of governance and the extent…
