Welfare costs of shopping trips Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2024-03-14
Abstract Using data on the number of visitors at the store level, this paper attempts to measure the welfare costs of traditional shopping trips for the U.S. census blocks. The investigation is based on an economic model, where individuals living in census blocks decide on which store to shop from based on the shopping-trip costs and idiosyncratic benefits. The welfare gains from removing shopping-trip

Jurisdictional homogeneity and coterminous local government borders: a comparison of counties in New Jersey and New York State Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2023-12-21
Abstract Tiebout (J Polit Econ 64:416–424, 1956) argues that local public goods will be provided efficiently if households vote with their feet to move to the jurisdiction that best matches their preferences. This outcome may be impeded by overlapping jurisdictions of municipalities, school districts, and police agencies. To investigate the impact of coterminous borders on Tiebout sorting, two counties

This paper studies the impact of local financial structure on business relocation in the US from 2011 to 2015. It uses several proxies to measure the local financial structure at the county level, such as the average distance to the nearest commercial bank branch from a relocating establishment (operational distance), the average distance between bank branches and their headquarters (functional distance)

Tiebout jurisdictions and clubs Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2023-06-12 Todd Sandler
In celebration of the centennial of the birth of Charles M. Tiebout, the current essay establishes the Tiebout hypothesis regarding jurisdictional composition as an origin of club theory and the study of local public goods. The Tiebout hypothesis and club theory constitute two of many foundational contributions to public choice. Tiebout’s voting-with-the-feet analysis exerts a lasting influence on

Labor market changes and social inclusiveness across regions: evidence from the rise of the modern office Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2023-05-31 Elisabeth Bublitz, Michael Wyrwich
Could complex changes in the labor market reduce social inequalities across regions? We study the rise of office employment in the early twentieth century that was induced by innovations in office technology and organizational changes affecting the type of required office tasks. The new office jobs required little physical strength. We find that the regional employment share of industries that were

Broadband access and knowledge spillover influence on SBIR phase II awards in non-metropolitan regions Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2023-05-26 Thomas Keene, John Mann, Elizabeth A. Mack, Scott Loveridge
Information and knowledge spillovers are critical for innovation creation. However, innovation creation is clumpy across regions, and there are noticeable innovation gaps between rural and urban areas. We hypothesize that broadband Internet connections help rural firms gain access to virtual knowledge spillovers, which improves their success with research and development (R&D) activities. To test this

Empirical modeling of internal migration and commuting flows for economic regions in Norway Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2023-03-20 Tom Kornstad, Terje Skjerpen, Lasse Sigbjørn Stambøl
This article provides empirical results for internal migration and commuting flows using panel data for 89 economic regions in Norway for the years 2001–2014. The emphasis is on the potential effects of different incentive variables. We consider both in- and out-migration as well as in- and out-commuting with a common set of explanatory variables. We perform panel data analysis for four educational

Employment protection and regional self-employment rates in an economic downturn: a multilevel analysis Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2023-02-25 Nikolaos Filippopoulos, Georgios Fotopoulos
This research aims to investigate the role of employment protection in affecting the relationship between regional self-employment and unemployment during turbulent times. In doing so, data comprised of 230 regions, nested in 17 EU countries, for the 2008–2015 period were used. When accounting for individual effects, we find that an increase in regional unemployment would decrease regional self-employment

Economic integration and FDI location: Is there a border effect within the enlarged EU? Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2022-12-02 Ilona Elzbieta Serwicka, Jonathan Jones, Colin Wren
This paper examines how integration affects Foreign Direct Investment location in relation to a newly internalised border. It focuses on the fifth European Union enlargement that integrated the Central and Eastern European Countries. Using a spatial autoregressive model, 35,103 FDI location decisions are analysed for Europe at a NUTS-2 regional level over 1997–2010. It finds no distance effect in FDI

The relationship between decentralization and economic growth across regimes Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2022-11-20 Henry Aray, Luis Pedauga
Panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) is applied to obtain thresholds in certain variables to classify the regions into regimes (high or low). Data for the regions of Spain over the period 1986–2010 are used. In general, the results point to a positive (negative) relationship between fiscal (administrative) decentralization and economic growth in regions with low public infrastructure stock per

The daily mobility of older adults: Urban/rural differences in ten developed countries Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 1.709) Pub Date : 2022-11-16 José Ignacio Giménez-Nadal, José Alberto Molina, Jorge Velilla
This paper explores the mobility patterns of older adults in ten countries, with a focus on the differences produced by urban environments in their non-work trips. Using detailed time use diaries from the Multinational Time Use Study for the last two decades, we analyze the trips associated with leisure and housework of non-working older adults. The results show that older adults in urban areas spend
