Potential for synergistic conservation through area-based strategies. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The ongoing biodiversity crisis has raised concerns about the effectiveness of area‐based conservation (ABC) strategies for achieving positive biodiversity outcomes. In riverine ecosystems, the linear habitat structure of fishes introduces uncertainty into the synergistic conservation potential of ABC.

Networking and spatial interactions: What contributes most to increasing museums' attractiveness?
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 102, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Given the relevance of museums in promoting cultural, tourism and economic development in local territories, we investigate the influence of both spatial and non‐spatial interactions on museum attractiveness. In particular, we assess whether non‐spatial collaborations such as partnerships and networking, contribute to enhancing their level of ...

Emergency management and the final frontier: Preparing local communities for falling space debris
Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 247-266, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Global dependence on satellite technologies, along with expanding space exploration, and commercial space travel have made rocket launches routine modern‐day events. As a result, there is an increasing probability of civilian casualty from rocket launch anomalies, or from falling space debris already in orbit.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval dispersal is an important component of marine reserve networks. Two conceptually different approaches to incorporate dispersal connectivity into spatial planning of these networks exist, and it is an open question as to when either is most appropriate.

Papers in Regional Science, Volume 102, Issue 2, Page 331-362, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Logistics firms play a crucial role in overcoming time and distance constraints in supply chain management. However, little is known about their location patterns. This paper fills the gap by studying the logistics of multi‐national enterprises' location choices across 380 NUTS 3.

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 559-584, April 2023., 2023 Abstract We identify vulnerable groups through the examination of their employment status in the face of the initial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) shock through the application of tree‐based ensemble machine learning algorithms on a sample of individuals over 50 years old. The present study elaborates on the findings through various interpretable

Identification, spatial distribution, and associated factors of urban protected areas in China. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The increasing proximity between protected areas (PAs) and urban areas, which can lead to urban protected areas (UPAs), is now commonplace. Use of Euclidean distance to measure the distance between PAs and cities has not correctly portrayed the spatial relationship between PAs and cities.

Dynamic returns to scale and geography in U.S. banking
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 53-85, February 2023., 2023 Abstract We observe spatial cost dependence among medium‐sized and large U.S. banks (1998Q1–2020Q4). We contribute to the literature by accounting for this using an accessible dynamic spatial econometric cost model. For a movement along a bank's output expansion path, we calculate the cost returns that spillover to/from the bank. The noticeable impacts

Agglomeration effects and unemployment to work: Evidence from French data
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 129-166, February 2023., 2023 Abstract In this work, we explore the role of agglomeration economies on unemployment‐to‐work transition rates in French employment areas. Mobilizing administrative exhaustive data files from individuals registered at the employment agency, we estimate local transition rates that are independent of differences in local characteristics of job seekers ...

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1223-1239, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Like many Indigenous people around the world, the original inhabitants of Peninsular Malaysia, the Orang Asli, live predominantly in marginal, remote areas, and have below‐average levels of education, health and living standards. Their customary reliance on natural forest resources and assets to support their livelihood is threatened by ...
