What explains the quantity and quality of local inventive activity? [PDF]
The authors geocode a data set of patents and their citation counts, including citations from abroad. This allows them to examine both the quantity and quality of local inventions. They also refine their data on local academic R&D to explore effects from

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms are not necessarily geographically static, in fact, they sometimes move across space within an economy. We define three possible destination types for relocating firms: major cities (urbanization), urbanized districts (suburbanization), and rural districts (counterurbanization).

Three New Empirical Tests of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis When Environmental Regulation is Endogenous [PDF]
The validity of existing empirical tests of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) is constantly under scrutiny due to two shortcomings. First, the issues of unobserved heterogeneity and measurement error in environmental regulation are typically ignored ...

Relocating to Peripheral Cities: Development and Diversity From Relocating Government Jobs
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The local labor market effects of relocating central government jobs to cities in rural municipalities is investigated by considering two small‐scale interventions by the Danish government in the mid‐2000s. We leverage the Synthetic Control Method to compare the two affected municipalities to a synthetic counterfactual.

Unveiling Spatial Dependencies — Investigating the Determinants of Firm Exit in Germany
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The determinants of firm exit in Germany, with a particular focus on the role of spatial dependence, are investigated. Using administrative microdata, a baseline probit model confirms the importance of internal firm characteristics, most notably firm size, growth dynamics, and legal form, in explaining exit probabilities.

Targeting and Effectiveness of Location‐Based Policies
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper provides new insights into the design of effective location‐based policies. In the context of European regional policy, we apply machine learning algorithms to predict regions likely to underutilize EU funding and identify the main determinants of their low absorptive capacity.

Ethnic Conflicts, Civil War, and Economic Growth: Region‐Level Evidence From Former Yugoslavia
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper studies the long‐term effects of the Yugoslav civil war (1987–1995) on subnational economic growth across 78 regions in five former Yugoslav republics from 1950 to 2015. We construct counterfactual growth trajectories using a robust region‐level donor pool from 32 conflict‐free countries.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.
