Pollution effects of place‐based policy: Evidence from China's development‐zone program
Environmental externalities of place‐based policy have generally been overlooked despite their welfare consequences. This paper studies the air‐pollution effect of development zones in urban China using a geo‐coded data set of 2720 counties from 1998 to 2016. By adopting the generalized difference‐in‐difference framework to resolve the problem of endogenous locational selection for place‐based policies, we find that development zones reduce ambie…
Lessons from the 2020 Covid recession for understanding regional resilience
The 2020 Covid‐19 recession differs from past recessions due to the immediate economic collapse, making it a unique setting in which to assess local economic resilience. Using county‐level data, we identify initial effects of the pandemic and accompanying stay‐at‐home orders on consumer spending, unemployment insurance claims, small businesses, and low‐income employment and earnings. We discuss heterogeneity related to pre‐pandemic county charact…
Exploring the Meaning of Spirituality and Spiritual Care in Chinese Contexts: A Scoping Review
Relationships and power: An exploration of person‐centredness in an intellectual disability service in Ireland
Institutionalised cultures and imbalances of power have been identified within the literature as risk factors for the abuse of adults with intellectual disability living in residential services. Governments in the Republic of Ireland and internationally continue to support person-centredness as a framework of care that can promote cultural change within disability services as a safeguard against abuse. However, there is limited research which see…
The Economic Geography of Cross-Border Migration
Seeing the Local State
Sociologists have long recognized uneven development within nations and differential patterns of poverty and prosperity across places. In analyzing why some places fare better than others, researchers largely focus on market forces. Few studies have considered the role of the local state. Yet in many countries today local governments have gained responsibilities and control as national governments offload responsibilities. This shift toward local…
Are the most productive regions necessarily the most successful? Local effects of productivity growth on employment and earnings
Economists typically celebrate productivity growth as the chief way to improve living standards. Productivity growth may reduce costs, improve quality, or lead to innovation and new products, but if demand is insufficiently elastic, productivity growth can lead to weakening of labor markets. We study county‐level effects of productivity growth and productivity levels on growth in employment, income, and earnings. The results suggest that producti…
The Perceptions of Spirituality and Spiritual Care Among People From Chinese Backgrounds Living in England: A Grounded Theory Method
Introduction: There has been a growing number of people from Chinese backgrounds entering England and their perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care need to be addressed when their cultural context changes. Methodology: A Straussian grounded theory method was used. Twenty-five participants were recruited, after which point data saturation was reached. Results: Four themes emerged showing participants’ perceptions of the terms: holistic; fam…
Spirituality and Spiritual Care among Ethnic Chinese Residing in England: Implications for Nursing
1) Background: There is a lack of understanding of how spirituality is understood among ethnic Chinese living outside of China. The aim of this investigation was to gain insight into the meaning of spirituality and spiritual care among ethnic Chinese residing in England. (2) Methods: This study employed a grounded theory method. (3) Results: A core category called "seeking a meaningful life" emerged, comprising six categories: "motivation", "supp…

Self-employment effects on regional growth: A bigger bang for a buck
Entrepreneurial and Employment Responses to Economic Conditions across the Rural-Urban Continuum
In this article, we explore how local employment growth in the urban-rural continuum is affected by economic trends in industries that comprise local economies and by growth in nearby metropolitan areas. Our county-level analyses reveal heterogeneous responses. Favorable economic changes due to a fast-growing local industry mix have the largest positive impact on self-employment growth in small metropolitan areas and the smallest positive impact …
Creating an Environment for Economic Growth: Creativity, Entrepreneurship or Human Capital
Scholars and policymakers interested in the growth and prosperity of regions have long recognized that talent and knowledge are fundamental. Yet the question is what types of talent are needed in a growing twenty-first-century economy: human capital, creativity and innovation, or entrepreneurship? The latter we define broadly to include any type of risk taking, and not only radical innovation. The literature does not clearly point to one factor a…
The impact of personalisation on people from Chinese backgrounds: Qualitative accounts of social care experience
The limited research that considers people from black and minority ethnic communities' experiences of personalisation tends to focus on personal budgets rather than personalisation per se. This article provides an opportunity to hear the voices of people from Chinese backgrounds and their experiences of personalisation. The study used individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups to collect data from physically disabled people from Chine…
Poverty, Place, and Coal Employment across Appalachia and the United States in a New Economic Era
The impacts of employment in the coal industry remain controversial. Few studies have investigated these impacts over the decade of the great recession and in light of the nation's changing energy economy. We bring together two long-standing rural sociological traditions to address debates framed at the national level and for Appalachian communities facing the throes of transition from the coal industry. Building from rural sociology's 'poverty a…
Satisfaction with social care: The experiences of people from Chinese backgrounds with physical disabilities
The satisfaction of social care among service users provides an important indication of how services are performing. Although there is evidence to suggest that people from black and minority ethnic communities experience less satisfaction with social care than majority groups, there is little literature which focuses specifically on people from Chinese backgrounds in England. This article provides an opportunity to hear the voices of people from …
Creating the Cultural Community: Ethnic Diversity vs. Agglomeration
Following work by Richard Florida and Jane Jacobs, tolerance along with talent and technology are purported to attract the ‘creative class’, seen as key in spurring economic dynamism in the knowledge economy. Representing both tolerance and diversity, we test an index of community-level ethnic diversity against the location decisions of workers in the culture occupations, a key component of the creative class, in the recently defined Canadian Fra…
