Spatial Variations in New Firm Formation in the Republic of Ireland, 1980–1990
HART M. and GUDGIN G. (1994) Spatial variations in new firm formation in the Republic of Ireland, 1980–1990, Reg. Studies 28, 367–380. This paper presents results of an investigation into regional (26 county) differences in the formation of new manufacturing firms in the Republic of Ireland over the period 1980–90. The results of a multivariate analysis of the determinants of new firm formation at the regional level reveal that the proportion of …

Geographical variation in the rate of formation of new manufacturing firms
Gudgin G. and Fothergill S. (1984) Geographical variation in the rate of formation of new manufacturing firms, Reg. Studies 18, 203–206. This paper examines the proposition advanced by Gould and Keeble in this issue of Regional Studies that in East Anglia geographical differences in company formation rates are strongly influenced by local proportions of non-manual employees. We conclude that the observed association may be influenced by the measu…

The Decomposition of Electoral Bias in a Plurality Election
This paper describes an empirical procedure for analysing the difference between the proportion of votes a major party attracts and the proportion of seats it subsequently wins in a plurality election. This difference will be referred to as theelectoral biaswith respect to that particular party at the election being analysed:B = S — V, (1)whereSis the seat proportion andVthe vote proportion gained by the party. This bias is the basic concept unde…
In Defence of Shift-Share
The paper argues that criticisms of shift-share techniques are insufficiently strong to affect its application to the analysis of regional growth in the United Kingdom. Evidence for the 11 British regions for 1952-75 is used to demonstrate the robustness of the technique in the context of differing levels of sectoral disaggregation and choice of base years and the technique is then extended to incorporate multiplier and linkage effects. Finally i…

The Myth of Non-Partisan Cartography: A Study of Electoral Biases in the English Boundary Commission's Redistribution for 1955-1970
The Statistical Basis of Decisionmaking in Electoral Districting
This paper is concerned with procedures for dividing electorates into constituencies or electoral districts. Two traditions for drawing boundaries are identified, the British procedure of using neutral decisionmakers (Boundary Commissioners), and the American procedure which allows politicians to draw boundaries and thus leads to gerrymandering. If a statistical approach which focuses on the very large number of alternative ways of dividing up an…
The Distribution of Schizophrenics in Nottingham: A Comment
In a recent article it was suggested that a causal link may exist between low social-status areas in cities and the incidence of schizophrenia. An alternative hypothesis for the same observations is advanced, and the suggestion made that the original analysis, if anything, leans towards this interpretation rather than towards the original conclusion. IN a recent contribution to Transactions Giggs (I973) analysed the spatial pattern and correlates…

Electoral Bias and the Distribution of Party Voters
Electoral bias is defined as the difference between the proportion of votes a party receives in an election and the proportion of seats it obtains. The purpose of this paper is to explore this bias beyond the traditional cube law approach. Thus the character of political parties is related to various probability models which reflect different distributions of voter proportions among constituencies. The causes of electoral bias can be found in the…
