Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2019 Background Prospective data are sparse for active commuting to work and body weight in Asia. We assessed the association of 5-year changes in commuting mode with body mass index (BMI) and the indicators of abdominal obesity in Japanese working adults ...

Commute Time for a Gaussian Wave Packet on a Graph [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a novel approach to quantifying the information flow on a graph. The proposed approach is based on the solution of a wave equation, which is defined using the edge-based Laplacian of the graph. The initial condition of the wave equation is a Gaussian wave packet on a single edge of the graph.

Commute-Time Convolution Kernels for Graph Clustering [PDF]
, 2010 Commute time has proved to be a powerful attribute for clustering and characterising graph structure, and which is easily computed from the Laplacian spectrum. Moreover, commute time is robust to deletions of random edges and noisy edge weights. In this paper, we explore the idea of using convolution kernel to compare the distributions of commute time ...

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Mixed evidence for the influence of structural and social factors on adolescent substance use behaviors exists across the rural–urban continuum. Therefore, this study explores how adolescent perceptions of structural and social community risk factors are associated with lifetime and past 30‐day use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, and ...
