A key consideration for the successful introduction and efficient operation of the transportation is to decide on locations of skyports, which are stations for vertical take-off and landing of air mobility. In this study, we cover a skyport location problem incorporating choice probabilities of transportation modes for each user by applying a binary logit model. The choice probabilities are predicted by considering factors such as fare, travel time, and social acceptance. We propose two mathematical formulations associated with the skyport location problem; one is to maximize the proportion of users who choose the UAM service and the other is to minimize the total sum of the travel time. The two models are NP-hard problems, necessitating an effective and efficient solution methodology for the problem. This study presents a methodology based on a cross-entropy algorithm, which is known for efficiently solving combinatorial optimization problems. We also validate the good performances of the solution methodology through numerical experiments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102227"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143918254","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}

This is done by employing quarterly data from 1990 Q1 to 2020 Q4 in a novel quantile auto-regressive distributed lag (QARDL) model. Both the estimated result of the QARDL model and the corresponding Wald test result reveal the existence of long-term and short-term asymmetric relationships between human capital development and unemployment in incidents of terrorism, unlike the inflation rate and the gross domestic product, which lead to symmetric relationships. Moreover, the estimated long-term results of symmetric and asymmetric ARDL show that lower human capital development, inflation rate, sluggish economic growth, and soaring unemployment are major causes of terrorism in Pakistan. These new findings will allow government regulators and policymakers to control inflation, improve employment opportunities, and enhance the human development index so as to mitigate terrorism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102226"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143929006","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}

To gain insights into this phenomenon, we propose conducting a network analysis of migration flow data among Italian provinces from 2002 to 2023, with a focus on eliminating irrelevant connections. This approach combines network filtering and clustering techniques, which refine the network structure to highlight meaningful connections and make mobility trends easier to interpret. Unlike traditional methods, which often struggle with complex or fragmented migration data, our approach enables us to identify both persistent migration hubs and emerging shifts in regional mobility. Our findings confirm the central role of northern provinces such as Milan, Turin, and Bologna, but also reveal a strengthening of connections between Southern areas like Naples and Bari, suggesting a growing regional appeal. While South-North migration remains dominant, high-skilled individuals are increasingly choosing Rome and other central provinces, indicating a diversification in migration patterns. Similar trends emerge for low-skilled workers, although age-related differences influence distinct mobility routes. These results offer actionable insights for policymakers. By investing in research, innovation, and entrepreneurial development in the South, improving university quality and academic infrastructure, strengthening connections between education and the local labour market, and enhancing infrastructure for remote work, South-North migrations and inequalities could be mitigated. Through a clear and accessible analysis, this study provides a practical tool for designing policies that promote more balanced regional development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102225"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877543","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}

This cultural influence appears to function, as it increases media scrutiny and encourages ESG activism among institutional investors. Government environmental regulations amplify this effect, while a company's innovation efficiency appears to partially counteract it. We further observe that Confucian culture's restraining influence on greenwashing is more significant in larger, state-owned enterprises located in China's eastern and central regions. However, increased media attention is correlated with more greenwashing behaviors among smaller firms. These findings offer valuable insights, as they support the promotion of Confucian-based management practices, and they also back the transition of corporations toward genuinely green transformations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102218"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855501","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}

A one standard deviation increase in UAL contributes to a 0.413 standard deviation rise in housing costs, indicating migrants' willingness to pay for urban amenities. Further analysis uncovers three fundamental mechanisms: the expectation effect, the accessibility effect, and the social integration effect. Migrants' stronger settlement intention and social integration amplify the amenity impact on their housing payments, whereas a high entry threshold to the local housing market increases migrants' housing affordability stress. Heterogeneity analysis suggests that the amenity effect varies by amenity type, <em>hukou</em> status, region, and human capital.

Our numerical simulations and sensitivity analyses indicate that overreliance on R&D subsidies is suboptimal. Specifically, we find that PLCs—whether actively or passively engaged in innovation—respond more significantly to increases in government procurement than to R&D subsidies. When the value of government procurement surpasses that of R&D subsidies, a combination of both policies more effectively and efficiently stimulates PLCs innovation. Notably, government procurement can rapidly initiate PLCs’ innovation behavior in the early stages, reflecting its significant role in boosting innovation activity in the short term. These findings suggest that policymakers should recalibrate the innovation policy mix by emphasizing demand-side policies like government procurement and reducing reliance on R&D subsidies.
