The civic university past, present and future: Personal reflection
A comprehensive commentary examining the concept of the civic university, tracing its historical development, challenges, and prospects, primarily within the UK context but also referencing global perspectives. It explores how universities can engage meaningfully with their local communities and contribute to societal wellbeing while balancing global academic roles.

We provide an overview of developments in the regulation, financial integration, and the structure and performance of the European banking industry. A brief discussion of the global financial crises and their resultant impact on European banks together with coverage of the later Eurozone sovereign…
The Civic University: The Policy and Leadership Challenges
Universities as anchor institutions in cities in a turbulent funding environment: Vulnerable institutions and vulnerable places in England
The paper examines universities as anchor institutions in the context of a major upheaval in the funding of English higher education. The various components of these changes are combined into a multivariate indicator of institutional vulnerability for universities in England. This is then linked to a classification of university cities to identify the most vulnerable institutions in the most vulnerable places with the greatest dependence on highe…
The Efficiency of Soccer Betting Markets
This chapter evaluates the performance of forecasting models of the efficiency of soccer betting markets. A nontechnical description of a forecasting model is provided, based on a large-scale number-crunching exercise using historical match results and other relevant data. It also examines whether forecasting models of this kind can provide the basis for the development of profitable fixed-odds betting strategies. A prior hypothesis is that oppor…
The University and the City
Universities are being seen as key urban institutions by researchers and policy makers around the world. They are global players with significant local direct and indirect impacts – on employment, the built environment, business innovation and the wider society. The University and the City explores these impacts and in the process seeks to expose the extent to which universities are just in the city, or part of the city and actively contributing …
US Credit Unions: An Empirical Investigation of Size, Age and Growth
An econometric analysis of the growth performance of US credit unions for the period 1992–2001 investigates empirical relationships between size, age and growth. Ceteris paribus larger credit unions grew faster than smaller unions. State credit unions grew faster than federal credit unions, and single bond credit unions grew faster than multiple bond credit unions. The size‐growth gradients were generally steeper for state than for federal credit…
Revenue Divergence and Competitive Balance in a Divisional Sports League
The North American model of resource allocation in professional sports leagues is adapted for English (association) football. Comparisons are drawn between the equilibrium allocations of playing talent under objective functions of profit maximisation and win percent maximisation subject to a financial constraint. Empirical revenue functions are reported for 1926–1999. These indicate a shift in the composition of demand favouring big‐city teams an…
The Response of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Needs
Performance, revenue, and cross subsidization in the Football League, 1927-1994
The Demand for Football in the Regions of England and Wales
DOBSON S. M. and GODDARD J. A. (1996) The demand for football in the regions of England and Wales, Reg. Studies 30, 443–453. This paper investigates the determinants of the demand for football in the regions of England and Wales. Using annual time series data over a 37-year period, we use a dynamic error correction model to identify economic and football-specific factors which determine attendances in the short run and long run. The short run inf…
The geography of the information economy
The growth of the information economy is defined in relation to four key processes : 1. Information is becoming the key strategic resource on which the effective production and delivery of goods and services in all sectors of the economy is increasingly dependent. 2. The convergence of computers and telecommunications which is transforming the means of information exchange within and between organisations. 3. Information and communication technol…
The Property Market and Industrial Location
Evidence is presented of persistent interregional differentials in growth rates of industrial property prices in the United Kingdom. Some simple two-region models of the location decision in the presence of expected property value growth differentials are derived and the predictions of these models evaluated against available evidence of the size of critical parameters. It is concluded that there is an incentive to locate new plants in the high g…

Some Implications of the Commodification of Information and the Emerging Information Economy for Applied Geographical Analysis in the United Kingdom
This paper contains a consideration of some of the implications of the emerging information economy for quantitative geography. The vast increase in computer data bases creates exciting new prospects for applied analysis relevant to public policy and private organisations. An attempt is made to identify where these new opportunities are located, to discuss some of the reasons for previous failures, to exploit the intrinsic value of geographical a…

The 1986 Domesday Project
This paper provides an overview of the 1986 Domesday project. The intention is to document the origins of the major research effort that is culminating in the BBC publishing video discs which aim to reflect all aspects of Britain in the mid-1980s. The paper outlines the prominent role of geographers in the design and fulfillment of key features of the Domesday's data base. In particular, the geographical basis to some methods of accessing informa…

Daily Urban Systems in Britain: From Theory to Practice
The theoretical issues of an earlier paper by the authors concerning daily urban systems are now followed by the problems of applying this concept to British data. The complexities of the British urban system pose difficulties for any approach which prohibits overlapping areas, multinodal regions, and recognition of the differing travel patterns of social groups. No single, simple algorithm can cope consistently both with the major metropolitan r…

Telecommunications and office location
Goddard J. B. and Pye R. (1977) Telecommunications and office location, Reg. Studies, 11, 19–30. The paper briefly reviews the role of communications in office location decisions and the possible effects of relocation on business contacts. These effects are elaborated by reference to surveys of office communications patterns in different locational situations. A simple model is introduced in which the communications costs of possible decentralize…

Changes in Corporate Control in the British Urban System, 1972-1977
Analysis of changes in the locations of the headquarters of the leading thousand companies in the UK, both at the regional and urban levels, reveals evidence of increasing centralization of control in the Southeast. The main elements of change are analysed to assess their relative significance in the process

Multivariate analysis of office location patterns in the city centre: A London example
Goddard J. (1968) Multivariate analysis of office location patterns in the city centre: A London example, Reg. Studies 2, 69–85. This paper considers the problem of defining the linkages that bind firms together in close spatial cohesion in the city centre. It suggests that these linkages constitute a definable activity system and attempts to specify the present state of this system by analysing the spatial relationship between employment in eigh…

Geographic Perspectives on Urban Systems
Towards a More Rational Consideration of Census Areal Units: Daily Urban Systems in Britain
The utility of data based on areal units, such as British censuses, depends at least as much on the definition of these areal units as on the variables measured. The discontinuation of the local-authority areas used for all previous censuses allows a radical evaluation of the alternative areas for census-data presentation. A conceptual basis is discussed which contrasts simple areal aggregates with genuine 'objects of interest'. It is suggested t…
