  • The great urban techno shift: Are central neighbourhoods the next silicon valleys? Evidence from three Canadian metropolitan areas

  • The location of information technology-led new economy jobs in cities: Office parks or cool neighbourhoods

    Chloé Duvivier, Mario Polèse et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2017•Cited by: 17•References: 3

    A growing literature suggests that central city neighbourhoods have become the focus of the information technology-driven new economy (IT-NE). Much of the evidence is based on case studies with a strong overlap with so-called ‘creative districts’. This paper examines the location of IT-NE jobs and its determinants for Canada’s three largest metropolises: Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. IT-NE employment is spatially polarized in all three cities …

  • À propos du rôle de la taille dans la croissance urbaine: Une analyse pour 135 agglomérations canadiennes entre 1971 et 2011

    Open Access•Justin Dubé, Jean Dubé et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Geographies /…•2016•Cited by: 1•References: 26

    Faits saillants L'incidence de la taille initiale de la ville sur la croissance se manifeste de façon indirecte par l'intermédiaire d'autres variables. La décroissance / croissance est principalement associée, respectivement, au degré de spécialisation dans les industries de première transformation et au taux d'emploi, un indicateur de la vigueur du marché du travail. Le rôle (positif) du capital humain dans la croissance joue surtout pour les gr…

  • The view from a lucky country: Explaining the localised unemployment impacts of the Great Recession in Canada

    Justin Dubé, Jean Dubé et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Journal of Regions…•2015•Cited by: 3•References: 11

    The article assesses the impact of the Great Recession on 83 Canadian regions, focussing on the unemployment rate as principal indicator. A dual empirical approach is used: examination of regional unemployment rate variations before, during and after the recession using a labour supply and demand framework; examination of the determinants of regional variations via a spatial econometric model. The findings reveal that Canadian labour markets reac…

    Justin Dubé, Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2015•Cited by: 8•References: 2

    Dubé J. and Polèse M. Resilience revisited: assessing the impact of the 2007–09 recession on 83 Canadian regions with accompanying thoughts on an elusive concept, Regional Studies. Viewing the 2007–09 recession as an exogenous shock, the paper proposes an assessment of the ‘resilience’ of 83 Canadian regions using four standard metrics: population, employment, unemployment and employment rates. For each metric, regions are evaluated on three posi…

  • The Arts and Local Economic Development: Can a Strong Arts Presence Uplift Local Economies? A Study of 135 Canadian Cities

    Open Access•Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2012•Cited by: 3•References: 28

    The paper looks at arts-related employment in 135 Canadian urban areas over 35 years (1971–2006), successively examining location patterns, co-location with knowledge-rich industries and impacts on employment growth. Arts-related employment is found to be highly concentrated in the very largest urban centres, with no indication of change. Smaller places with particular attributes (attractive natural setting, proximity to large urban centres) are …

    Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Recherches sociographiques•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    Ce texte porte sur un autre « mystère de Québec », non pas politique ou sociologique, mais économique. Depuis une quinzaine d'années, la grande région de Québec connaît un essor économique franchement étonnant. Nous décrivons ici ce virage et proposons des éléments d'explication. Le succès de Québec s'inscrit dans des grandes tendances, observées aussi ailleurs, qui favorisent les villes moyennes, notamment au titre des activités économiques de m…

  • Changes at the Top: A Cross-country Examination over the 20th Century of the Rise (and Fall) in Rank of the Top Cities in National Urban Hierarchies

    Open Access•Mario Polèse, Jonathan Denis-Jacob•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2010•Cited by: 13•References: 23

    The paper documents the evolution of rank orders for cities at the top of national urban hierarchies (top 10 cities, where possible). Ranks for the year 2000 are compared with 1950 for 74 nations and with 1900 for 52 nations, covering 375 and 288 cities respectively. Rank correlations with the year 2000 are calculated for both years. The rank order of cities in Europe shows significantly less variation over time than those for the New World and d…

  • Los tres Méxicos: Análisis de la distribución espacial del empleo en la industria y los servicios superiores, por tamaño urbano y por región

    Open Access•ISABEL ANGOA, SALVADOR PÉREZ-MENDOZA et al.•ARTICLE•EURE (Santiago•2009

    Th e location of employment in manufacturing and in high-order services in Mexico is examined using location quotients. Municipalities are grouped into nine urban size classes and three regions: north, centre, and south. Location patterns are generally consistent with models in economic geography. High-order services concentrate in the largest urban areas, exhibiting a hierarchical pattern. Manufacturing, especially mid-tech manufacturing, is rel…

    En partant d'un modèle géostatistique d'explication des variations locales de croissance d'emploi pour le Canada (1971–2001), les résidus — par rapport aux prédictions — sont analysés dans le temps et dans l'espace, permettant ainsi de faire la distinction entre, d'une part, des facteurs à portée générale et, d'autre part, des facteurs proprement locaux, conjoncturels ou aléatoires. Le pouvoir d'explication du modèle, qui intègre des variables te…

    This article examines the location of functions within the electricity sector in Canada from 1971 to 2001, using a centre‐periphery model. Power generation, distribution and retailing are generally carried out by multiestablishment crown corporations. Location patterns of different functions—management, scientific, production, etc.—are analyzed via the use of occupational groups. The spatial distribution of functions is found to be generally cons…

  • Observing Regularities in Location Patterns: An Analysis of the Spatial Distribution of Economic Activity in Spain

    Open Access•Mario Polèse, Fernando Rubiera-Morollón et al.•ARTICLE•European Urban and Regional Studies•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 6

    The location of economic activity in Spain is analysed, employing a methodology previously applied to Canada. We ask whether the regularities posited for Canada also hold for Spain, despite the differences in geography. Using census data for the years 1991 and 2001, Spain's 8,086 municipalities are classified according to population size and distance thresholds analogous to those applied to Canada.The location patterns of industries are plotted i…

  • Do Local Factors Explain Local Employment Growth? Evidence from Canada, 1971–2001

    Shearmur R. and Polèse M. (2007) Do local factors explain local employment growth? Evidence from Canada, 1971–2001, Regional Studies 41, 453–471. Why does employment grow in one region and not in another? This basic question underpins a substantial proportion of research in regional science and economic geography, and a wide variety of approaches have been deployed to explore it. These approaches can be divided into two broad and complementary ca…

  • Comment expliquer le déclin de Montréal comme centre de transports aériens: Une question de géographie économique

    Open Access•CARINE DISCAZEAUX, Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Canadian Geographies /…•2007•Cited by: 2•References: 20

    L'objectif de cet article est de comprendre l'évolution des activités aériennes à Montréal. Plaque tournante majeure dans les années 1960, Montréal voit ses activités aériennes ralentir dès le milieu des années 1970. Quelles sont les origines véritables de ce ralentissement? Ce déclin est souvent attribuéà la construction d'un second aéroport international à Montréal‐Mirabel en 1975. Mais qu'en est‐il exactement? Ceci nous amène à nous interroger…

    La distribution spatiale de l’emploi au Canada est étudiée sur une période de trente ans pour 71 industries. En termes relatifs, le type d’industrie trouvé dans des grandes villes ou dans des sites proches - par opposition à des sites périphériques ou des petites localités - n’a guère changé. Les différences ville-campagne s’effacent, mais non pas celles fondées sur l’opposition centre-périphérie, reflet d’une géographie économique où les spécial…

    Open Access•Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2006•Cited by: 2•References: 1

    In this reply to Peter Taylor, three points are made: Peter Taylor is correct in stating that I have not tested the 'Jacobs hypothesis'; the 'Jacobs model' (as I understand it) is, I suggest, unverifiable; and, continuing from my original article, I restate the argument that 'cities', independently, are (probably) not sources of economic growth. I end with a few words on the problem of using the term 'city' as an independent variable to explain e…

  • Cities and National Economic Growth: A Reappraisal

    Open Access•Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2005•Cited by: 10•References: 52

    The idea that cities are sources of economic growth, generally associated with Jane Jacobs, has gained ground in the scholarly literature in recent years. This essay proposes a review of the arguments for and against the Jacobs hypothesis. Much of the debate centres on the existence of dynamic agglomeration economies. It is difficult, it is argued to rigorously test the relationship between agglomeration and economic growth. Part of the problem s…

  • Diversity and employment growth in Canada, 1971– 2001: Can diversification policies succeed

    Open Access•Richard Shearmur, Mario Polèse•ARTICLE•Canadian Geographies /…•2005•Cited by: 5•References: 29

    In this paper, we explore the link between diversity in the local economy, the process of diversification and employment growth. To do so, we first examine diversification trends between 1971 and 2001 across 382 Canadian areas (urban and rural). We then examine whether or not the more diversified areas display faster employment growth. Over some periods and for some types of area they do, but over other periods they do not. Furthermore, there is …

    Des comparaisons entre villes canadiennes et américaines doivent se faire avec prudence. L'obstacle principal reste la comparabilité des séries statistiques. Nous proposons une analyse intégrée de l'ensemble des 90 régions métropolitaines nord‐américaines de 500 000 habitants et plus, dont neuf canadiennes. Suite à une revue de divers classements, nous situons les 90 régions urbaines sur sept indicateurs, dont des variables portant sur le capital…

  • La différenciation de l'espace urbain de Québec: Une Application De l'Analyse Discriminante en Géographie Urbaine

    Antoine S Bailly, Antoine Bailly et al.•ARTICLE•Cahiers de géographie du Québec•2005•Cited by: 2

    Puisqu'il n'est pas de connaissance géographique sans différenciation des paysages, la géographie quantitative ne peut se contenter des seules méthodes factorielles. Avec l'analyse discriminante, les poids locaux ne constituent plus l'étape finale, mais le point de départ de l'analyse spatiale. Ainsi procédons-nous à l'étude des espaces socio-économiques et familiaux pour la région métropolitaine de Québec. Loin d'être conforme aux modèles nord-a…

An attempt is made in this paper to present elements of such a locational framework, with specific reference to producer services. Patterns of trade and of location are complementary aspects of the same problem. Thus three distinct channels through which producer services are traded are ex…

    Much recent North American research has focused on the decline of the central business district (CBD) as the economic core of metropolitan areas, and the corresponding rise of suburban employment centres. According to the literature, this trend is particularly evident in the case of high-order service functions: business services, finance, insurance, and real estate services, and head offices. In this paper, we argue that the decentralization of …
