Geography, age, and wellbeing following the COVID-19 shock Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-08-21 Ruoshui He, Jonna Rickardsson, Charlotta Mellander
In this paper we examine the relationships between subjective well-being, age, and geography before (2019) and during (2020) the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing survey data, subjective well-being is examined through measures on i) perceived life satisfaction, and ii) self-reported health status. Given that elderly individuals, aged 70 and above, were at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from the

Remote work and location preferences: a study of post-pandemic trends in Italy Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-12 Thea Jansen, Andrea Ascani, Alessandra Faggian, Alessandro Palma
This study investigates how working remotely, by reducing workplace commuting, weakens the limitations connected to residential mobility and enables Tiebout sorting. We focus on the Italian context, where a strong culture of in-person workplace attendance limits workers’ ability to live farther from their workplace. We leverage the natural experiment of COVID-19 containment measures to shed light on

Climate change, carbon neutrality: the role of spatial economics Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-02 Jian Wang, Xiwei Zhu, Yong Chen
The collection of papers in this special issue examines empirical evidence from Asia, Europe, and North America, analyzes how climate change affects the spatial economy, and explores the feasibility of carbon neutrality as a countermeasure to climate change. It begins by discussing the research background, the motivation for emphasizing spatial considerations, and the analysis in climate change studies

Public good provision and progressive income taxation in a spatial economy Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Juan Carlos Lopez, Tadashi Morita
This paper considers how mobility in an economy with multiple types of workers of varying income levels affects the ability of regional governments to implement progressive tax policies. We develop a two-region spatial equilibrium model in which external economies arise through the provision of a local public good funded by skill-specific income taxes. Regional governments have redistributive preferences

Information economies with taste diversity and bounded attention spans Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-05-27 John P. Conley
We consider an economy with a countably infinite number of consumers and pure public information goods. Each of these differentiated products is produced by a single monopoly firm that enters the market if it can cover costs. Thus, the product space is endogenous. We assume that the population of agents has diverse tastes, but bounded attention spans for content. We show that this implies that at all

Do businesses “vote with their feet” Too? Examining firm mobility in response to hurricane risk Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Rushaine Goulbourne, Amir B. Ferreira Neto, Amanda Ross
Do firms sort in response to hurricane risk? We expand upon standard models of Tiebout sorting for households and explore the effect of hurricanes on firm mobility. Specifically, we examine if firms are more likely to move after experiencing category 3 or higher strength hurricane winds. Using the National Establishment Time-Series (NETS) data for Florida, we find that hurricanes are associated with

Welfare costs of shopping trips Ann. Reg. Sci. (IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Hakan Yilmazkuday
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 costs

In celebration of the centennial of the birth of Charles M.

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 2.2) 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 2.2) 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
