Does cross-border commuting between EU-countries reduce inequality
Cross-border commuting might be a way to improve an efficient allocation of labour resources, improve the economic performance of border regions and reduce economic and territorial inequality. This study explores the impact of a set of socio-economic, infrastructural or cultural explanatory variables that drive cross-border commuting in the EU and Switzerland for all outgoing commuters from living countries and for all incoming commuters towards …
Commuting Between Border Regions in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium: An Explanatory Model
Border regions are often not very well connected to the national urban and economic centres and hence perform less well in terms of GDP per capita and unemployment. Cross-border commuting might be a way to improve the economic performance of border regions. This study explores the impact of a set of socio-economic, infrastructural or cultural explanatory variables that drive cross-border commuting in the Dutch-German-Belgium border regions for al…
Smoothness of the School-to-Work Transition: General versus Vocational Upper-Secondary Education
This article analyses the effect of vocational education on school-to-work transitions for the 2006 cohort of Dutch graduates of upper-secondary education (ISCED Level 3). Using sequence analysis, it uncovers ideal-typical school-to-work transition trajectories representing the first 7 years in the labour market. It then analyses the effect of vocational education on trajectories and wages. Specific attention is paid to the moderating influence o…
Firm Migration
Firm migration is a very important determinant of regional economic dynamics. This entry gives an overview of the present state of the theories and empirical findings on this topic. The spatial scale is important, because the causes and effects differ substantially for firm relocations within urban areas and between regions within countries, and for international relocations between countries or even continents. Firm migration research started in…
Do jobs follow people or people follow jobs? A meta-analysis of Carlino–Mills studies
Understanding the gap between reality and expectation: Local social engagement and ethnic concentration
It is widely known that there is a strong relationship between local ethnic concentration and local social engagement. This article attempts to take a step forward by analysing the gap between the real and the expected local social engagement and its association with local ethnic concentration. Understanding this gap may assist policy makers with better urban planning aiming for high social cohesion, particularly in those cities with high ethnic …

Employment growth and inter-industry job reallocation: Spatial patterns and relatedness
Employment growth and inter-industry job reallocation: spatial patterns and relatedness. Regional Studies . The nature of employment reallocation between industries is assessed using rich register data for the Netherlands. It is found that employment decline in some industries is countered, in a communicating vessels fashion, by employment growth in other industries, which is primarily driven by the availability of released skilled labour. These …
Human Capital Externalities: Effects for Low-Educated Workers and Low-Skilled Jobs
Broersma L., Edzes A. J. E. and van Dijk J. Human capital externalities: effects for low-educated workers and low-skilled jobs, Regional Studies . Investments in human capital are essential themes in many policy programmes. Besides the direct private returns of education, there is evidence of positive human capital externalities at the level of regions and firms. The results in this paper show that both production and consumption externalities ha…
Local social engagement, satisfaction, and embeddedness in the Netherlands: Which Effects Matter and for Whom
This paper examines to what extent, and for whom, different geographical characteristics affect the levels of local social engagement, satisfaction, and embeddedness in the Netherlands. We employ a uniquely detailed dataset of individuals in Dutch neighbourhoods and municipalities, which is examined using a multilevel hierarchical model with spatial interaction effects. The analysis shows that living in a neighbourhood with a high ethnic concentr…
A Life Course Approach to High-skilled Migration: Lived Experiences of Indians in the Netherlands
This article presents a framework which applies life course approach to high-skilled migration. By using the lens of the life course, migration behaviour is viewed not only in response to labour market triggers, but also in relation to other life domains such as education, employment and household. The data presented in this article are drawn from 22 in-depth interviews and visualisations of parallel careers. The results illustrate how highly ski…

Population Change and New Firm Formation in Urban and Rural Regions
Delfmann H., Koster S., McCann P. and van Dijk J. Population change and new firm formation in urban and rural regions, Regional Studies. Many regions across the European Union, including regions in the Netherlands, face population decline, entailing changing demographics and related social and economic implications. This paper looks into the connection between population change and structure, and rates of new firm formation. Although it is clear …
Spatial Implications of Using Firm Level Quotas to Employ Low Productive Workers
Many Western countries struggle with the realisation of an inclusive labour market: a labour market in which everyone can participate and disabled or otherwise vulnerable, disadvantaged and low productive people can take part in the real labour market to the best of their abilities. Following countries like G ermany and A ustria, the latest D utch policy proposal is to introduce mandatory quota for employers with more than 25 employees to create …

An Analysis of Trends in Spatial Mobility of Dutch Graduates
Considerable attention in the literature has been devoted to spatial mobility as a mechanism in the transition from study to work. In this paper, the relationships between migration and both regional economic circumstances and individual characteristics are investigated using a micro-dataset on Dutch college and university graduates. Over the last decade, some Dutch regions have retained increasingly higher proportions of college graduates. We fi…

Gender-Specific Spatial Interactions on Dutch Regional Labour Markets and the Gender Employment Gap
Gender-specific spatial interactions on Dutch regional labour markets and the gender employment gap, Regional Studies. This paper analyses gender-specific employment rates and the gender employment gap in Dutch municipalities for 2002. The novelty of this analysis is that it takes into account the extent to which gender-specific education, income, and unemployment influence the male and female employment rates and gender gap. Men and women often …

Do the Best Graduates Leave the Peripheral Areas of the Netherlands
There is more and more empirical evidence to show that highly skilled people are an important determinant of economic growth. Consequently, policy‐makers are eager to keep their graduates in the region or attract graduates from elsewhere. It is also well known that people with a higher level of education exhibit high rates of spatial mobility. Much less is known about mobility patterns according to discipline and academic grade. Do the best peopl…

The effect of congestion and agglomeration on multifactor productivity growth in Dutch regions
It is well known that labour productivity growth in Europe is slowing down, against an increasing growth rate in the US. The Netherlands is one of the countries in Europe with the lowest growth rates of productivity. This article looks at this phenomenon from a regional perspective and presents the results of a growth accounting exercise applied to regional industry data of The Netherlands between 1995 and 2002. We find that slow productivity gro…

Regional Differences in Labour Productivity in the Netherlands
One of the major goals of current Dutch economic policy is to increase labour productivity growth. In order to achieve this goal a Dutch innovation platform is established, chaired by the Dutch Prime Minister Balkenende, with the aim to reinforce the innovativeness of the Dutch economy. Innovation has a positive effect on productivity growth (Donselaar et al. 2004). Besides this macro policy goal, the most recent memorandum on regional policy 'Pi…
