Explaining the Big Mac Urban‐Rural Price Gap in the United States
The Law of One Price (LOP) is a fundamental economic principle, yet its application in regional studies often excludes rural areas due to data limitations. We analyze price equalization across the US using Big Mac prices to address this gap. Our analysis focuses on three key questions: (i) Is there evidence of price equalization between urban and rural areas in the US over the short and long run? (ii) What factors drive urban‐rural price equaliza…
Rural emergency hospitals
PURPOSE: Rural hospitals face persistent financial challenges that often threaten their survival. To address this, the 2023 "Rural Emergency Hospital" (REH) designation offers Critical Access Hospitals and hospitals with fewer than 50 beds enhanced Medicare reimbursement and annual facility payments if they discontinue inpatient services while maintaining outpatient care and a 24-hour emergency department. This study evaluates the characteristics…

Rural US residents recognize anxiety better than urbanites and suburbanites but hold similar stigma
PURPOSE: Recognizing signs of psychological distress is a critical first step in assisting people who are struggling with poor mental health to access help. However, community-level factors that impact recognition and stigma are underexplored. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between rurality, other community-level variables, and individual variables with regard to the recognition and stigma of anxiety. METHODS: We use…

Measurement error in US regional economic data
Estimates of publicly suppressed and unrevised regional economic data produce error and potentially bias statistical inference. This article estimates measurement error in suppressed cell estimated data sets (SCEDs) relative to unsuppressed federal administrative data. In a cross section, coefficient estimates based on relatively aggregated SCEDs are attenuated by about 31%, increasing to 50% in panel data. Coefficient estimates based on less‐agg…

Cognitive enhancing drug use by students in the context of neoliberalism
Social Status Influence on Stigma Towards Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorder in the United States
Empirical methods in business location research
A frequent theme in regional science is exploring the determinants of business establishment locations. We briefly review the theoretical perspectives motivating several frameworks underpinning locational determinant analyses. We summarize and review trade-offs involved in established and emerging econometric techniques that researchers use to analyse locational determinants. We conclude with opportunities for future research, including understud…
Recognition and stigma of prescription drug abuse disorder
In light of the continued risks that individuals with PDA behaviors face in potentially transitioning to illicit opioid use, the findings of this survey suggested a continued need for public education and outreach. Of particular note is the perspective of those who have self-identified with the condition, as this population faces the largest risks of adverse health outcomes from illicit drug use within the survey respondents
Drivers of differences in inventiveness across urban and rural regions
Heterogeneity of inventiveness across urban, metro-adjacent rural and remote rural counties is analyzed using a spatial autoregressive negative binomial regression model, taking into account spatial spillover effects, the count nature of patenting, creative class population, industry characteristics and other regional factors influencing innovation creation. Results indicate that key drivers of invention—namely presence of universities, share of …
The Influence of an Extreme Warm Spell on Public Support for Government Involvement in Climate Change Adaptation
An emerging literature discusses the effects of short-term temperature fluctuations on public opinion toward climate change. Yet, prior literature has not explored potential opinion-influencing effects of temporal patterns of temperature fluctuations or the interdependence between temperature anomalies and the direction and magnitude of short-term trends. This study uses an extreme warm spell that occurred during a survey of Michigan residents to…

Trust and Patience after a Tornado
This study examines how individuals’ trust levels and patience are affected by a tornado event. Affected and unaffected people were surveyed after a 2013 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, that resulted in 24 fatalities. Findings suggest that those who self-identified as affected became more trusting in general as well as more trusting of police and fire authorities. Affected homeowners also exhibited less patience than their unaffected counterparts. Th…
Rural versus urban perspectives on behavioral health issues and priorities
Local incidence of behavioral health issues such as substance abuse or poor mental health are a topic of increasing concern, but the specific needs, issues, and priorities of cities can differ from those in rural areas. We illustrate how rural and urban perceptions and knowledge may differ with a survey about community behavioral health priorities in Clark County, Nevada. The survey had a 44% response rate and the sample was 77.3% urban. Rural le…
Angry, Scared, and Unsure
Natural and manmade crises impact community-level behavioral health, including mental health and substance use. This article shares findings from a larger project about community behavioral health, relevant to the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, using data from a larger study, involving monthly surveys of a panel of key informants from Genesee County. The data come from open-response questions and are analyzed as qualitative data using g…

Social Capital, Religion, W al‐ M art, and Hate Groups in A merica
Objective The recent surge in hate group activity is a concern to many citizens and policymakers. We examine the roles of socioeconomic factors measured at the county level that are hypothesized to account for the presence of such groups, including social capital and religious affiliations. Methods We estimate a P oisson regression model using counts of hate groups provided by the S outhern P overty L aw C enter for each of the over 3,000 U.S. co…
Do organisational forms of the coffee supply chain matter in poverty reduction
This paper compares the economic effects of two organisational forms of the coffee supply chain (cooperative and private processors) in Rwanda and assesses quantitatively which form has benefited producers the most. The paper uses panel data from 148 coffee-producing households. Results based on a combination of the instrumental variable method and first differencing show that there is no indication that farmers who sell to cooperative factories …
Retirement Plan Participation in an Era of Change
Individual savings are critical for retirement as government and employer-based provisions fade or become less secure. Rural communities are vulnerable given their higher proportion of elderly and more who rely on Social Security. Using a telephone survey of working-age residents in Michigan's rural Upper Peninsula, this research investigates factors associated with participation in tax-advantaged retirement plans that have largely replaced defin…
Jobs Now, Later, or… Never? An Exploration of Resistance to Economic Change in Communities
Members of the research team report findings from a telephone survey of residents of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The survey asked residents about their preferences for job creation if a computer software company would relocate in their community. Respondents chose to create jobs among several options: (1) to create ten jobs now, (2) to create 16 jobs in five years, (3) indifference between now or in five years, or (4) never. Although the majority…
A Typology and Assessment of Multi-sector Regional Economic Impact Models
Loveridge S. (2004) A typology and assessment of multi-sector regional economic impact models, Reg. Studies38, 305-317. This paper provides a summary and critical review of the types of multi-sector models with inter-sectoral linkages commonly used to predict the total impact of an event (plant opening, closing or policy change) on the regional economy. The following model types are included: economic base; input-output; social accounting matrix;…
Keys to Engaging Faculty in Service
Fostering faculty participation in scholarly public service activities requires more attention to developing appropriate structures to motivate action. This article highlights several methods of stimulating and maintaining faculty interest in service using an extended example: a university-based planning assistance program for small communities.

Ptolemy, Tacitus and the tribes of north Britain
Ptolemy's list of places in north Britain, arranged by tribe, may include both native sites and Roman forts. Unallocated fort names may have been added by Ptolemy to the list of what he thought was the appropriate tribe, possibly not always correctly. Separation of the two groups of names allows a re-allocation of territories to be attempted. Au (abr A R)

Teaching and Research in Ethnic Dance
The following is a brief account of personal experience in teaching, for the first time, a course in ethnic dance to college students, and of a few reflections arising from the experience. The class met three times a week for fifty minutes at a time; during one of these periods, in an ordinary classroom--during the other two, in the studio. It was possible to earn three credits for a semester's work
