Diversification strategies for manufacturing essential Covid-19 products

The impact of remote working on residential mobility in the metropolitan region of Madrid
Large cities are facing the interlocked effects of multiple crises. In particular, the pandemic crisis induced residential relocation changes with the support of remote working. Nevertheless, the spatial implications involved remain unclear due to a lack of studies empirically integrating this variable. This research aims to study the impact of remote working on residential changes in Madrid in the period 2019–2021 ceteris paribus other residenti…

Interregional mobility of talent in Spain
This paper seeks to extend our knowledge of the drivers behind talented workers' mobility within the Spanish urban system and the patterns they may follow. For this purpose, the stock and flows of creative workers (selected on the basis of either the industry-based or occupational approaches) are studied at different spatial scales while also considering the influence of local characteristics as a source of attracting and retaining forces. The st…

This study confirms that the impact of the creative economy, one of the most interesting initiatives in this context, remains very limited. Furthermore, microdata obtained from a sample of one million workers in Spain, published annually by the Social Security system, confirm that the sharp contrasts emerging in e…
