Local Economic Development As A Game: We’Re Caught In A Trap, I Can’T Walk Out …, Stephen Ellis, Cynthia Rogers
Local Economic Development As A Game: We’Re Caught In A Trap, I Can’T Walk Out …, Stephen Ellis, Cynthia Rogers
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
This paper uses game theory to analyze the practice of offering incentives to attract new firms to localities. It demonstrates that in trying to attract firms localities are faced with something like a prisoner’s dilemma: they are compelled to offer incentives but would be better off if they could agree not compete for firms. The dilemma that localities face explains why the bidding war for firms continues to escalate despite calls by economists and politicians for disarmament.
Sense Of Community And Neighbourhood Form: An Assessment Of The Social Doctrine Of New Urbanism, Emily Talen
Sense Of Community And Neighbourhood Form: An Assessment Of The Social Doctrine Of New Urbanism, Emily Talen
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
New urbanism , an umbrella term which encompasses `neotrad itional development’ as well as `traditional neighbourhood design’, lives by an unswerving belief in the ability of the built environment to create a `sense of community’. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether the social doctrine of new urbanism can be successfu lly supported or at least integrated with the social science literatu re which deals with the question of com munity form ation . Towards this goal, the paper ®rst delineates the social doctrine of new urbanism, and then discusses the conceptual fram eworks and empirical ®ndings that …
Wavelet Analysis Of Commodity Price Behavior, Russell Davidson, Walter C. Labys, Jean-Baptiste Lesourd
Wavelet Analysis Of Commodity Price Behavior, Russell Davidson, Walter C. Labys, Jean-Baptiste Lesourd
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
We propose a form of semi-nonparametric regression based on wavelet analysis. Traditional time series methods usually involve either the time or the frequency domain, but wavelets can combine the information from both of these. While wavelet transforms are typically restricted to equally spaced observations an integer power of 2 in number, we show how to go beyond these constraints. We use our methods to construct ‘patios’ for 21 important international commodity price series. These graph the magnitude of the variations in the series at different time scales for various subperiods of the full sample.
Measuring The Public Realm: A Case Study, Emily Talen
Measuring The Public Realm: A Case Study, Emily Talen
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
Urban planners are vitally interested in the role, meaning, and use of public space. The recent trend toward building neighborhoods and towns according to the doctrine of new urbanism - a movement which seeks to promote sense of community by adhering to certain principles about the physical arrangement of space - brings the debate about the use of public space and its effect on social life to the forefront. New urbanism stresses the need to resurrect a more civic focus in town planning principles via the provision of public space ( Kunstler, 1996 ; Hochstein, 1994), a view based on …
Social Contacts And Job Searching: Does Gender Of Contact Matter?, F Carson Mencken
Social Contacts And Job Searching: Does Gender Of Contact Matter?, F Carson Mencken
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
In this study, I investigate how the gender of the social contact women use to find jobs affects the gender composition of the jobs that women find. Using a subsample of women in the Metropolitan Employer Worker Survey, I test two competing hypotheses about the effects of gender of social contact using multivariate logistic regression. Controlling for a range of individual, household, occupation/industry and organization variables, the analysis shows that females are significantly less likely to find female dominated jobs when they find their jobs through male contacts, compared to female contacts. Moreover, I also show that traditional measures of …
The Effects Of Federal Spending On Earnings Change In Appalachia, F. Carson Mencken, James H. Noonan
The Effects Of Federal Spending On Earnings Change In Appalachia, F. Carson Mencken, James H. Noonan
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
In this paper we investigate the effects of federal spending on earnings change in Appalachian counties during the 1983-88 recovery and 1989-92 recession. Specifically, we explore the effects of federal spending from grants/research, procurement, salary/wages and defense. The analysis controls for key concepts in the human ecology and new urban sociology. The dependent variables are earnings change for each business cycle from a shift-share analysis, which decomposes county earnings change into that from nationally declining industries. The analysis shows that federal spending has no effect on earnings change, when it is considered as an aggregate measure. However, when federal spending …
Linking Spatial Statistics With Gis: Operational Issues In The Spacestat-Arcview Link And The S+Grassland Link, Shuming Bao, Luc Anselin
Linking Spatial Statistics With Gis: Operational Issues In The Spacestat-Arcview Link And The S+Grassland Link, Shuming Bao, Luc Anselin
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
The extension of the functional capacity of geographic information systems (GIS) with tools for exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) has been an increasingly active area of research in recent years. In this paper, two operational implementations that link spatial analysis software with a GIS are considered more closely. They consist of a linkage between the SpaceStat software for spatial data analysis and the ArcView GIS (based on socalled loose coupling), and the S+Grassland Link between S-PLUS/SpatialStats and Grassland GIS (based on so-called close coupling). The emphasis is on the implementation of methods of exploratory spatial data analysis to describe spatial …
Regional Economic Effects Of University Research: A Survey, Attila Varga
Regional Economic Effects Of University Research: A Survey, Attila Varga
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
Previous research is classified into four broad categories in this paper: the study of a university’s impact on the location choice of high technology facilities, the investigation of university impact on the spatial distribution of high technology production, the analysis of the spatial pattern of industrial research and development activities, and the modeling of local knowledge transfers emanating from academic institutions. It is found that the university effect on the location choice of high technology facilities depends on certain area characteristics. There is a strong evidence in the literature of local academic technology transfers. Regarding the effect of university technology …
Rao’S Score Test In Spatial Econometrics, Luc Anselin
Rao’S Score Test In Spatial Econometrics, Luc Anselin
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
Rao's score test provides an extremely useful framework for developing diagnostics against hypotheses that reflect cross-sectional or spatial correlation in regression models, a major focus of attention in spatial econometrics. In this paper, a review and assessment is presented of the application of Rao's score test against three broad classes of spatial alternatives: spatial autoregressive and moving average processes, spatial error components and direct representation models. A brief review is presented of the various forms and distinctive characteristics of RS tests against spatial processes. New tests are developed against the alternatives of spatial error components and direct representation models. It …
A Kalman-Filter Approach To Estimating The Natural Rate Of Unemployment, Victor V. Claar
A Kalman-Filter Approach To Estimating The Natural Rate Of Unemployment, Victor V. Claar
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
The terms “NAIRU” and “natural rate of unemployment” are not interchangeable. Further, while there is a consensus that the NAIRU represents an empirical macroeconomic relationship, little agreement exists regarding what is meant by the “natural rate of unemployment.” This paper estimates the natural rate of unemployment, defined here as the unemployment rate corresponding to equilibrium in the labor market. Rather than employ a Phillips curve, the model utilizes a macroeconomic-principles-level decomposition of the unemployment rate into its cyclical and noncyclical components. We then evaluate the estimated natural rate series by examining its relationship to structural variables from the labor market.
A Spatial Analysis Of Southern Gubernatorial Elections: 1965-1997, Chuck Failing Iv
A Spatial Analysis Of Southern Gubernatorial Elections: 1965-1997, Chuck Failing Iv
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
For nearly a century the Democratic Party exerted an unmatched influence at all levels of government in the southern United States. This is particularly true in the eleven former Confederate states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. In turn, the policies and personalities of politicians and voters in the South played immense roles in shaping the national Democratic Party and national policies. This paper illustrates the dynamics of political change in the South at the gubernatorial level, and quantifies the magnitude of change over time with statistical analysis.
