While research adopting the political-economy approach examines urban inequalities through structural processes, it largely neglects social practices. In contrast, Neo-Bourdieusian urban studies tend to evaluate inequalities through the spatial practices of the middle and upper classes. This divergence in approaches raises a key question: is the unequal distribution of social classes across urban space a passive process dictated by structural constraints, or the result of agents’ spatial practices? Why do social classes prefer different regions to live in, and how do these preferences shape urban segregation? To answer these questions the article adopts Pierre Bourdieu's relational approach, which enables the evaluation of both structural and subjective processes. Within this framework, it argues that agents’ spatial preferences, differentiated by lifestyle, play a significant role in forming urban segregation. The study is based on fieldwork involving the collection of data via a survey focusing on the lifestyle and residential preferences of lower-, middle- and upper-class groups. The findings reveal that the unequal distribution of capital forms across regions and the spatial preferences of agents play a pivotal role in the formation of inequalities.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 6","pages":"1612-1634"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149369530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although security guards and doormen play an important and omnipresent role as social and technological mediators, their practices and perceptions have received little attention. Based on our ethnographies of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, we conceptualize entry halls and porters’ lodges—portarias—as a crucial yet disregarded subaltern archive of Brazil's deeply unequal and violent urban fabric. This archive conveys how condominium workers, who are part of the infrastructure of portarias, understand, co-produce, and contest urban hierarchies at the confluence of colonial legacies and neoliberal governmentality. We ethnographically analyse the shifting socio-techno-material arrangements to show how cordiality and control become embedded in the workers’ provision and understanding of care. The workers’ continuous response to disrespect and possible humiliation reveals their nuanced engagement with the colonial legacies of racism and servitude and the omnipresent permeation of neoliberalism. In line with subaltern urbanism, our ethnography challenges the limits of archival and ethnographic recognition of the longstanding and current reproduction of racialized, gendered, and classed urban hierarchies. The socio-material worlds of portarias and the knowledge possessed by their staff provide an invaluable key to understanding the persistent and changing socio-material hierarchies of urban Brazil.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 6","pages":"1635-1650"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149369428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyses how social housing in London is being transformed into a financial asset through an analysis of ‘income strip’ leases, long-term contractual arrangements between institutional investors and local authorities. Building on insights from urban political economy and the social studies of finance, we explore the moral politics, temporal logics and forms of obligation and risk embedded in these financial arrangements. We situate the rise of income strips within a longer arc of state–market entanglements and argue that they exemplify a recursive and cyclical tendency in the local state's experimentation with private finance. At the level of the contract and the asset, we show how value and risk are distributed and negotiated, and how income strips produce hierarchies of obligation and indebtedness. While institutional investment into social housing is narrated as a ‘common sense’ policy solution that promises to fill the ‘housing gap’ and secure returns for workers’ retirement savings, we show how income strips erode security of tenure, increase rents and entangle states and tenants in new forms of financial obligation, foreclosing alternative political imaginaries.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 6","pages":"1429-1447"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70093","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149369525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In highlighting the role of the aesthetic in Chinese urbanism, this article argues that the party-state draws on an aesthetic palette that places the contemporary urban landscape in a historical narrative of orderly central power and authority. China's aestheticized urbanism is standardized, commodified and sanitized, with the result that the living and working conditions of local residents are subordinated to political and economic priorities. The argument runs counter to recent work highlighting an apparently more emollient approach to urban development. The article draws on the case of Tunxi, a small but important urban settlement in eastern China, close to the celebrated Huangshan mountains and at the centre of one of the country's historical regional cultures. The project to regenerate Tunxi and attract more tourists involved demolishing older buildings, removing residents and constructing new traditional-style commercial outlets in a pattern familiar throughout China. In this way, a specific understanding of what traditional culture means and looks like is designed into the urban landscape with the aim of presenting an officially sanctioned scripting of history and relegating residents to the city outskirts.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 6","pages":"1505-1525"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70079","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149369439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night shifts? Can we enhance night studies characterizations and advance urban studies debates on the NTE, if not beyond, by linking them more directly to urban scholarship on care and community? In this article, we draw on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with the street cleaning and horticulture teams working within the City of Adelaide, in South Australia, to investigate some positive framings of night work from a worker's perspective. While undertaking jobs often associated with ‘dirty’ work and undoubtedly still challenging, they also recounted experiences of care and community, characterized by themes of ‘mentality’, cooperation, dignity and conviviality. We argue this brighter side further strengthens emerging scholarship on night work, and urban economies more generally, as both an advocacy tool as much as a conceptual anchor.","PeriodicalId":14327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Urban and Regional Research","volume":"50 6","pages":"1651-1665"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-2427.70084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149369444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities. In both countries, farmers display aversion to strategic uncertainty, rely heavily on beliefs about their neighbors' actions when deciding whether to participate, and systematically underestimate the probability of successful coordination even when opportunity costs are low. These common findings across such different settings suggest that the underlying mechanisms are not context-specific but instead reflect more general features of decision-making under strategic interdependence, lending support to the external validity of our findings. The results highlight key psychological and economic barriers to cooperation and offer policy-relevant insights for designing interventions to enhance participation in voluntary area-wide pest management programs. While voluntary coordination can enhance pest management effectiveness and be pareto-optimal, the success of the collective action depends on overcoming farmers' reluctance to participate. The evidence that farmers systematically underestimate the probability of successful coordination even when opportunity costs are low highlights a key behavioral barrier that can lead to coordination failures. Interventions that mitigate strategic uncertainty and build trust among participants—such as targeted subsidies or technical assistance—could encourage participation among farmers who would otherwise be unwilling to engage in coordinated efforts. Beyond the immediate application to pest and weed resistance management, our findings contribute to a broader understanding of cooperative behavior among farmers in the presence of strategic uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":8004,"journal":{"name":"Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy","volume":"48 5","pages":"1539-1564"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aepp.70109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149367497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-term institutional ownership is positively and significantly associated with breakthrough innovation, while short-term institutional ownership has no robust effect. Long-term institutional ownership is also related to incremental innovation, but the coefficient and economic magnitude are larger for breakthrough innovation. The results are robust to alternative measures, including technological novelty, total citations of granted invention patents, and external citations. They also hold under several endogeneity mitigation tests, including first-difference estimation, propensity score matching, entropy balancing, and a two-period-ahead placebo test. Accordingly, the paper interprets the evidence as a robust association rather than a definitive causal effect. Further analysis offers marginal evidence that market competition may strengthen the association between long-term institutional ownership and breakthrough innovation. The association is more evident among firms with lower financing constraints, high-tech firms, young firms, and firms with higher media attention. The findings contribute to the literature on institutional investor heterogeneity and corporate innovation from the perspective of patient capital and offer evidence relevant to the allocation of long-term capital toward high-quality innovation.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"47 8","pages":"2028-2042"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mde.70138","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149367509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce asymmetric advertising efficiency combined with a stochastic success function to show that incumbents can utilise buyouts as a strategic entry-deterrence mechanism. When a buyout occurs, dominant incumbents optimally integrate the acquired innovation to sell a superior product rather than executing a ‘killer acquisition’. Furthermore, our model demonstrates that strategic buyouts are most likely when start-ups face moderate entry costs but offer highly valuable innovations. If entry is accommodated, the incumbent's superior advertising efficiency grants it a strictly higher probability of securing the coordinated demand without requiring a larger advertising budget. Our findings suggest that an incumbent's ability to maintain market dominance is sensitive to the size of the fixed cost of entry and the strength of the network externality. While buyouts eliminate fixed entry costs and expenditure on coordination advertising, they prevent post-entry price competition, and the distinct utility consumers derive from product variety. Notably, we prove that the more dominant an incumbent is before an acquisition, the greater the technological upgrade it must provide for the buyout to be strictly welfare enhancing. Consequently, our findings provide strong theoretical support for expanded, case-by-case antitrust scrutiny of start-up acquisitions in markets with network externalities.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"47 8","pages":"2084-2100"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mde.70133","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149367444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
