Utilizing panel regression analysis and developing the Health Input Augmenting Index (HIAI) and Health Outcome Incidence Index (HOAI), the current study revealed two distinct clusters of countries, illustrating the critical influence of health inputs on outcomes. Notably, the study finds no consistent relationship between HIAI, HOAI, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, emphasizing the prominent role of non-economic factors in shaping health outcomes. In the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), an increase in health expenditure as a percentage of GDP was associated with improvements in CDR and IMR. Conversely, in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations, higher health expenditure led to adverse effects on CDR, IMR, and LEB. Additionally, rising out-of-pocket expenditures as a share of total health expenditure were associated with deteriorating health outcomes in ASEAN, while in BRICS and overall datasets, it was related to a reduction in CDR. The study also highlights the role of non-health factors, showing that GDP per capita negatively influenced CDR, IMR, and LEB in BRICS countries, whereas rising incomes in ASEAN countries were linked to declining IMR. The elasticity of non-health determinants in affecting health outcomes was found to be more pronounced than that of health inputs. Robustness checks, including alternative panel regression models excluding Russia and Singapore, confirmed the validity of these findings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 2","pages":"Article 100163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focuses on nearshoring to Mexico and backshoring to the United States in the context of increasing trade tensions. Using Input-Output Analysis, it quantifies spillover and feedback effects on regional economies by simulating two policy scenarios. The findings indicate that nearshoring to Mexico generates higher economic benefits compared to backshoring, as Mexico captures significant spillover effects due to its established manufacturing base and integration with U.S. industries. By contrast, backshoring yields lower economic gains due to the weakened state of the U.S. electronics sector, which remains dependent on Asian supply chains. The study concludes that nearshoring offers a more viable strategy for regional integration and competitiveness in North America, emphasizing the need for policies that strengthen Mexico’s role in electronics manufacturing through innovation and technological upgrading. This approach could enhance the region's autonomy and resilience in the face of global supply chain disruptions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 2","pages":"Article 100165"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the logistical challenges and historical accident risks during this dense gathering, effective placement of health facilities is crucial for ensuring pilgrim safety and accessibility to services. The study first employs location-allocation models (LAM) within a network GIS framework to determine optimal facility locations based on both static and dynamic population distributions of pilgrims throughout the day. These models facilitate the strategic placement of services closer to pilgrim activities, potentially enhancing service accessibility and reducing travel times for medical assistance. Additionally, agent-based modelling (ABM) complements the LAM by simulating crowd movements and interactions, helping identify high-risk areas for congestion and accidents. This dynamic approach offers insights into crowd behavior under various scenarios, including different times of day and road closure impacts, thereby supporting more responsive urban planning and crowd management strategies. Recommendations for policy include the use of portable health facilities and the strategic placement of services to accommodate shifting crowd densities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 5","pages":"Article 100179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143386805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the correlation between the per capita availability of services land uses and the incidence of COVID-19 cases in the 22 districts of Tehran metropolitan. The purpose of the study is focused on applied-developmental aspects, while the methodology employed is descriptive-analytical in nature. This methodology relies on the analysis of numerical data obtained from existing plans and statistics. The data analysis is conducted utilizing both Williamson's index (Cvw) and the Morris approach. The cartographic representations have been created utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) software. The findings of the study indicate that there is a different and significant relationship between the per capita availability level of services land uses and the number of COVID-19 cases in the 22 districts of Tehran; for example, in districts 1 and 3 of Tehran, this relationship is indirect, such that per capita availability level of services land uses and population attraction in these two regions is high, but the number of people infected with COVID-19 is low. The opposite of this relationship exists in districts 6 and 12 of the city, because the per capita availability level of services land uses and population attraction in these regions is low and the number of people infected with COVID-19 these regions is also low, and this relationship is direct. The result is impacted by non-equilibrated and improper distribution of services land uses in the different districts of Tehran.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 5","pages":"Article 100177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143394655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
