Eine Urbane Produktion gehört zu den konstitutiven Merkmalen einer Großstadt. Dies betrifft auch die Stadt Bremen, die eine wechselhafte Industriegeschichte aufweist. In einem Forschungsvorhaben des iaw wurden neue Formen der Urbanen Produktion mit Blick auf die Ausgangslage und...

30 Jahre nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung bestehen weiterhin deutliche regionale Disparitäten zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland. Zusätzlich verschärft der Kohleausstieg strukturelle Probleme in den deutschen Kohleregionen. In politischen Handlungskonzepten werden dabei immer auch...

Many questions in urban and regional economics can be characterized as including both a spatial and a time dimension. However, often one of these dimensions is neglected in empirical work. This paper highlights the danger of methodological inertia, investigating the effect of neglecting the...

Daten zur Bürobeschäftigung in Deutschland sind Mangelware. Frühere Erhebungen wurden mittlerweile eingestellt oder die Methodik wurde nicht mehr angepasst. Auf Basis von Auswertungen der BIBB/BAuA-Erwerbstätigenbefragung wird ein Ansatz zur Bestimmung der Bürobeschäftigung in Deutschland...

The term "resilience" originated in environmental studies and describes one's biological capacity to adapt and thrive under adverse environmental conditions. Regional economic resilience is defined as the capacity of a territory's economy to resist and/or recover quickly from external shocks,...

We study the implications of financial-market imperfections on labor and capital misallocation in China. Financial friction stems from private sectors' credit constraints that limit the efficient use of capital relative to state firms. Our model can jointly explain labor flows out of and capital...

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) is a simple and powerful non-parametric technique that automatizes the selection of non-linear terms in regression models. Non-linearities and spatial effects are natural characteristics in numerous spatial hedonic pricing models. In this paper, we...

Using a spatial general equilibrium model, this paper investigates the resilience of EU regions under three alternative recessionary shocks, each of them activating different economic adjustments and mechanisms. Using a theoretical framework, we measure the vulnerability, resistance, and...

This paper analyzes within a spatial endogenous growth setting the impact of public policy coordination on agglomeration. Governments in each of the two symmetric regions provide a local public input that becomes globally effective due to integration. Micro-foundation of governmental behavior is...

Rapid urbanization has resulted in sudden degradation of the environmental quality of urban settlements, which are difficult to measure and quantify. The present study attempts to provide an assessment of the environmental quality by developing environmental quality index (EQI) for the Ernakulam...

In this paper, the authors propose a new methodological approach to the construction of a synthetic measure, where the objects are described by variables with strong asymmetry and extreme values (outliers). Even a single extreme value (very large or very small) of a variable for the object may...

We discuss the role of key regions in spatial development. Local productivity shocks can affect the entire economy as they expand via tight connections in the domestic production network and in uence the geographical allocation of labor. In particular, we identify the set of key regions with the...

The present descriptive-analytical study employs a survey research method, documentary technique, and applied-developmental research design to zone the 18 neighborhoods of Sabzevar City in terms of urban poverty indicators. Data collection was done through a questionnaire distributed among a...

An accurate assessment of the risk of extreme environmental events is of great importance for populations, authorities and the banking/insurance/reinsurance industry. Koch (2017) introduced a notion of spatial risk measure and a corresponding set of axioms which are well suited to analyze the...

This paper addresses the question whether or not large-scale infrastructure investments have a causal effect of local economic development. By using a novel instrumental variable approach based on historical trade and travel routes across the Russian East, I am able to identify a causal and...

We study the impact of the odd-even transportation policy (environmental regulation), among other controlled factors on Delhi's pollution levels using panel data. We have daily data on five different pollutants from 9th April 2015 through 29th July 2018 and also pollutant's data over nine...

The paper illustrates the effect of a permanent demand-side shock in the perturbed regions and the associated spillover effects in the non-perturbed regions using the RHOMOLO spatial-numerical general equilibrium model of the EU economy. We test to what extent gradual upward pressure on wages...
