Attributes of growing and shrinking places within socioeconomic clusters in the United States
Workforce patterns and income disparities in a growing US city
Using US census microdata (2013 and 2019), this article builds a refined job classification taxonomy to examine how occupational sorting across sectors shapes income disparities in the growing metropolitan area of Atlanta. We find pronounced sectoral income differences, with historically marginalized Black and Hispanic workers disproportionately concentrated in lower-income jobs. Black domestic migrants exhibit positive skill-based selection into…

Disentangling agglomeration economies from selection under policy distortions in China
This paper explores the competing sources of productivity gains observed in China’s urban agglomerations focusing on three pillar industries: agro-food processing, textiles and electronics. The main results reveal that the higher aggregate productivity observed in denser Chinese cities is driven by both agglomeration and selection forces. Subsequent analysis shows that industrial support policies help to mitigate the selection penalty, but come a…
The average effectiveness of local migration exchanges
We develop a measure of the average effectiveness of migration exchanges with destinations, for local origins. We also decompose this new measure into components summarising the average effectiveness of a region's exchanges with places for which it has net out‐migration, and places for which it has net in‐migration. This makes it possible to define regions that are effective exchangers, balanced exchangers, effective gainers, or effective losers,…

The contribution of students to regional economies: Reframing the regional innovation systems approach
The role of universities in regional development has grown significantly over the past two decades. One strand of analysis has been that of the university in regional innovation systems (RIS). However, the contribution of university students has largely been neglected. This special issue contributes to the RIS literature by unpacking the RIS concept through exploring this specific aspect of university engagement in regional economies. The nine pa…

Household dependence on solid cooking fuels in Peru: An analysis of environmental and socioeconomic conditions
An Analysis of Commuting Distance and Job Accessibility for Residents in a U.S. Legacy City
Job accessibility has been examined over the years, especially in older industrial cities. More specifically, job accessibility of different groups of workers remains a topic of interest for targeted policymaking to improve economic conditions. This article analyzes the commuting distance sensitivity of different groups of workers and applies commuting distance sensitivity to job accessibility calculation. The Longitudinal Employer–Household Dyna…
Understanding the household cooking fuel transition
Three billion people use biomass and other harmful cooking fuels (e.g., charcoal) worldwide. This poses a significant risk to health and deters human development. Policies have been implemented to promote the use of modern cooking fuels, but the outcomes have been uneven. The problem continues to affect the poor, especially in rural and remote areas, in disproportionate ways. While technological solutions exist, widespread adoption has been slow …

These regions are Medical Delta (MD; Leiden, Rotterdam and Delft, Netherlands) Oxford and the Thames Valley (OTV; UK), Biocat (Catalonia, Spain) and Life Science Zurich (LSZ; Switzerland). Evidence is drawn from the European Union-funded Healt…
International Business: Geographic Aspects
Evolutionary Analysis of Neighborhood Decline Using Multilevel Selection Theory
This article proposes an analytical framework of neighborhood decline grounded in evolutionary multilevel selection (MLS) theory. We demonstrate that MLS allows for the unification of at least two distinct theoretical approaches—the ecological and the political economy approaches—to analyzing urban change. From these developments we generate three hypotheses about intracity dynamics. The hypotheses are tested with longitudinal data using space–ti…

The Role of the University as an Agent of Regional Economic Development
Universities are commonly seen by policy makers as being key actors in the knowledge-based economy. In the United States, universities, but particularly research universities, have been the focus of many studies which have sought to document and explain the commercial impact of university-based research on regional economies. For example, studies have analyzed the extent and outcomes of academic entrepreneurship and of university-industry collabo…

Internet skeptics: An analysis of intermittent users and net dropouts
The digital divide has often been discussed with respect to the two opposite sides of the spectrum: the "haves" and "have-nots". However there is a gray area which consist of two particular categories: a) Internet users who did use the Internet at one time and have since stopped, or b) the large number of Internet users who stopped using the Internet but then restarted using it. Such Internet users have not received much academic attention. Studi…
