  • Podcast confessional: Punk and post-punk archiving, history and ‘afterlife’ conversations on the C86 Show

    David A Gray, David GrayARTICLEPunk & Post Punk2024

    Among the recurrent preoccupations of punk and post-punk is a critical consideration of the individual’s relationship to society. The emergence of podcasts in which hosts and musicians engage in historically contextualized conversations therefore presents an intriguing turn of events that will be of interest to punk and post-punk scholars. This article considers the possibilities of conversational podcasts via a discussion of the C86 Show , a pop…

  • American management strategy in the British civil service: The post-1968 office work measurement crusade and the rise of managerialism

    David A Gray, David GrayARTICLEContemporary British History2024References: 4

    The restructuring of Britain's civil service is understood mainly as a Thatcher- and Blair-era event rooted in neoliberal economic policies. Yet its roots reach back to the late 1960s and early 1970s. During that time, senior civil servants turned to American management strategy to advance the government's efforts to scale back the size of the service. This article explores these efforts via the activities of the Treasury's Management Services Di…

  • Ted Barris, Battle of the Atlantic: Gauntlet to Victory by David H. Gray

    David Gray, David H GrayARTICLEThe Northern Mariner / Le marin…2023

    We are so inured to events being reported in the news for only a few days; e.g., our diminishing interest in COVID, yet the Battle of the Atlantic lasted five years and eight months, from the sinking of Athenia on 3 September 1939 to the sinking of HMCS Esquimalt on 15 April 1945.There was no sudden climax or turning-point, just waves of successes and losses.Canada lost 24 warships, over 2438 RCN and 752 RCAF personnel in the Battle of the Atlant…

  • William Geroux, The Ghost Ships of Archangel: The Arctic Voyage that Defied the Nazis by David H. Gray

    David Gray, David H GrayARTICLEThe Northern Mariner / Le marin…2023

    Most of us have heard of the wartime convoy PQ-17 to Archangel, Russia in July 1942 and the fact that many of the ships in the convoy were sunk after the convoy was ordered to scatter because of the perceived threat of being attacked by the Tirpitz and/or other major units of the German Navy.As much as this book deals with that decision -taken in London -it is not the raison d'être of the book.Rather, the book provides the personal accounts of sa…

  • Do house price-earnings ratios in England and Wales follow a power law? An application of Lavalette’s law to district data

    Open AccessDavid GrayARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2022

    This paper considers Lavalette’s function and its applicability to district house price-earnings ratios. Drawing on work in the urban scaling literature and Zipf’s law, in conjunction with finance theories of pricing and affordability, the paper considers how stable the distribution of ratios is over time, how robust the ranking order of ratios is in the face of variations in affordability over 2004–2019, and proffers an explanation for the shape…

  • Exploring the Socio-cultural Impact of Scottish Island Airports

    Open AccessGraeme Baxter, Lyndsay Bloice et al.ARTICLEScottish Affairs2021References: 7

    This paper explores the social importance of small, local airports to Scottish island communities, and the roles that they might play in maintaining cultural identity and a sense of place. It draws upon studies conducted in three communities: Benbecula and Kirkwall, each of which has airports with long histories; and the Isle of Skye, where there have been no air passenger services for over 30 years, but where efforts to reintroduce such services…

  • A simple measure of beta-convergence revisited

    Open AccessDavid GrayARTICLEUrban Studies2021References: 31

    Convergence among regions to long-run, non-zero income differentials is predicted by mainstream and alternative spatial theories. A variety of convergence, considered by Sala-i-Martin, focuses on the rank order over time. As some must be growing faster than others, intra-distributional mobility implies convergence of regions. A measure of this from Boyle and McCarthy is the trend in rank concordance. As it is a measure of similarity between a giv…

  • Labour market effects of urban riots: An experimental assessment

    Open AccessEmmanuel Duguet, David Gray et al.ARTICLEPapers of the Regional Science…2019Cited by: 1References: 5

    We measure the effects of urban riots on the labour market prospects of workers in the case of the French riots of 2007. The town of Villiers‐le‐Bel is our treatment unit while two other towns serve as control groups, Sarcelles and Enghien‐les‐Bains. Using the technique of correspondence testing, we are able to discern disparities in call‐back rates for fictitious candidates who respond to actual job postings over four dimensions: gender, ethnic …

  • Medium-term cycles and housing: Is regional integration different

    Open AccessDavid GrayARTICLEUrban Studies2019Cited by: 1References: 36

    Drehmann et al. (Drehmann M, Borio C and Tsatsaronis K (2012) Characterising the financial cycle: Don’t lose sight of the medium term! BIS Working Papers, No. 380. Bank for International Settlements, June) of the BIS lament the attention given to medium-term cycles. They highlight a financial cycle characterised by longer cycles in credit and property prices. Although the co-movement of regional residential property prices has been well-explored,…

  • Money talk: How relations between farmers and advisors around financial management are shaped

    Open AccessAniek Hilkens, Janet Reid et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2018Cited by: 4References: 7

    The nature of interactions between farmers and advisors is the focus of a growing body of research. While many studies explore the potential role of advisors in facilitating farmers' practice change in practices related to agricultural production such as soil, water, pest and animal health management, studies that specifically investigate how advisors support farmers with financial management (FM) are limited. The contribution this paper makes is…

  • How Do Older Laid-Off Workers Get By: Reemployment, Early Retirement, or Social Insurance Benefits

    Ross Finnie, David GrayARTICLECanadian Public Policy2018References: 3

    We investigate the post-layoff configuration of income sources and pathways of prime-age and older laid-off workers exhibiting a high degree of prior attachment. Using a unique Canadian administrative database that links the event of the involuntary layoff with detailed data on income receipt, we track all of their sources of income over an interval spanning five years after layoff. We conduct a multivariate statistical analysis of the incidence …

  • An application of two non-parametric techniques to the prices of British dwellings: An examination of cyclicality

    Open AccessDavid GrayARTICLEUrban Studies2018Cited by: 1References: 33

    Using a Pesaran-Timmermann test of co-movement, Cook and Watson (Cook S and Watson D, 2015, A new perspective on the ripple effect in the UK housing market: Co-movement, cyclical subsamples and alternative indices. Urban Studies 53(14): 3048–3062) suggest they have highlighted the ‘ripple’ effect. Using reference series of the UK, London, Scotland and three deterministic-periodic series, regional prices are shown to have similar cyclical characte…

  • The Cambridge Handbook of Surveillance Law

    David Gray, Stephen E HendersonBOOKCambridge Handbook of Surveillance…2017

    Surveillance presents a conundrum: how to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency while respecting privacy and individual liberty. From police officers to corporations to intelligence agencies, surveillance law is tasked with striking this difficult and delicate balance. That challenge is compounded by ever-changing technologies and evolving social norms. Following the revelations of Edward Snowden and a host of private-sector controversies, the…

  • Convergence and divergence in British housing space

    David GrayARTICLERegional Studies2017Cited by: 4References: 3

    The degree of convergence that exists among British house prices is an open question. Inferences vary with the method applied and periods considered. Using the rank of the cointegrating matrix among four decades of regional data, two contiguous groups of regions are revealed. These super-regions have some common members through which price changes are transmitted from south to north. With London found to be deviating from the South East, neither …

  • Delivering lower carbon urban transport choices: European ambition meets the reality of institutional (mis)alignment

    Open AccessDavid Gray, Raechel Laing et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2017References: 46

    Reducing carbon emissions from the transport sector has become a critical imperative for public policy as our understanding of the impacts of the mobility system on the environment has developed. This paper contrasts policy development in three cities (Aberdeen, Bremen and Malmö) that collaborated as part of a European Union knowledge exchange programme designed to share innovative approaches to carbon reduction in the transport sector. We identi…

  • A Longitudinal Analysis of GIS Entries and Exits

    Ross Finnie, David Gray et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2016Cited by: 2References: 4

    We focus on one particular pillar of the public retirement income network in Canada, namely, receipt outcomes of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) regime. This empirical analysis is carried out in a dynamic framework. We address the extent to which individuals enter the state of GIS receipt at various ages as well as the extent to which individuals who receive GIS benefits at the earliest age of eligibility subsequently exit the regime. We f…

  • Did Family Physicians Who Opted into a New Payment Model Receive an Offer They Should Not Refuse? Experimental Evidence from Ontario

    David Gray, William Hogg et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2015

    It is widely believed that the traditional way of remunerating primary care physicians—namely, the fee-for-service (FFS) mechanism—generates suboptimal incentives to health care providers. The alternative payment scheme that is typically preferred involves some form of capitation. The objective of this paper is to investigate the degree to which family physicians (FPs) benefited financially after having switched from the traditional FFS mode of p…

  • Hidden Properties of Irish House Price Vintages

    David GrayARTICLEHousing Studies2015References: 43

    Using spectral analysis, prices of two Irish house vintages are investigated for hidden periodicities. What emerges is a major periodicity consistent with an Irish business cycle. A further hidden intermediate cycle in second-hand housing, that is common to all areas of Eire but featured not nearly so prominently in new housing, is posited to be related to life events and space stress. By revisiting the housing market more often, the repeat buyer…
