Based on panel data from 15 national-level urban agglomerations in China between 2012 and 2021, this study employs a three-dimensional analytical framework encompassing the dimensions of resources, consumption, and policy to empirically examine the impact mechanisms of the ice-snow economy on urban network evolution, the moderating role of policy coordination, and the contribution of network structure to regional economic growth. The findings reveal that the ice-snow economy facilitates the formation of both localized and globalized networks through dual mechanisms of “resource-dependent agglomeration” and “consumption-driven diffusion,” with the magnitude of these effects differing across different types of urban agglomerations. Policy coordination significantly enhances the network externalities of the ice-snow economy, promoting localized networks in cold-region urban agglomerations and globalized networks in non-cold-region urban agglomerations. While localized networks contribute more to current regional economic growth, globalized networks exhibit increasing growth potential as infrastructure improves and policy coordination deepens.

After a set of robustness tests, results confirm significant spatial spillover effects, the environmental effect of industrial relocation shows a significant U-shaped curve, but the economic effect is an inverted U-shaped curve. Industrial relocation regions indeed achieve de-pollution and move toward high-end production, and the overall pollution leakage is attributed to the relocation of resource-intensive industries. The spatial boundary tests show that pollution leakage can spread over a geographical distance of 1250 km, while the green growth has only radiated to regions with similar economic strength. Besides, investment structure, technological improvement and employment creation are significant transmission pathways, and green growth is main induced by employment creation effect.

This paper examines the location of craft breweries across Canada and provides an analysis of how land use policy delineates the spatial location of craft breweries in six Canadian cities. Using the parcel level location of breweries as an entry point, our findings confirm how zoning bylaws have broadened the spatial parameters of brewing operations beyond industrial zones. However, while breweries are permitted/discretionary across a wider range of land uses, there is still a concentration of breweries around downtown, industrial, and special districts. Breweries remain largely prohibited from residential zones, part of a broader process of restricting any form of commercial and/or industrial use in single family zones. Our findings link with existing research on the locational dynamics of breweries. While the spatial parameters for zoning were recently broadened, most municipal standards collapse differences across breweries pertaining to orientation (production/consumption) and/or size of facility/output. Our research shows that, in these six cities, the potential for placemaking now extends beyond post-industrial sites.

This study investigates the foundational role of inclusive urban public services—closely linked to migrants' rights to survival and development—in supporting migrant entrepreneurial activity. Drawing on recent reforms in China aimed at equalizing urban public services, we find that greater inclusivity in urban public service provision significantly promotes migrant entrepreneurship. Mechanism analyses identify three pathways: inclusive urban public services (i) generate psychological incentives that strengthen migrants' sense of belonging in cities, (ii) encourage migrant households to allocate labor and financial resources to urban areas, and (iii) expand migrants' access to bilateral social networks rich in market opportunities, all of which foster entrepreneurial action. Heterogeneity analyses further show that improvements in urban public service inclusivity not only raise the quality of migrant entrepreneurship but also exert stronger effects in central regions, where fiscal capacity and economic development are more balanced than in eastern or western regions. These findings underscore the substantial economic returns of integrating migrants into formal governance systems and provide broader insights into unlocking migrant entrepreneurial potential in developing countries.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145572262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs a difference-in-differences method to examine the green spillover effects of the LCCPP, focusing on neighboring non-pilot cities of pilot areas. The study finds that the LCCPP significantly improves GTI in neighboring non-pilot cities, primarily through competitive pressure, imitation learning, and financial transmission effects. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the green spillover effects of the LCCPP are more pronounced when neighboring cities are located in the eastern and central regions, have well-developed infrastructure, and exhibit strong green governance capacity. Further analysis shows that the spillover effects of the LCCPP are closely linked to the strength of economic ties between cities. Moreover, the spillover effects exhibit a significant distance decay pattern, with the effective spillover range limited to within 200 km.

Strengthening migrant workers' settlement intentions through social networks is considered the most optimal solution to addressing the social issues arising from large-scale urban-rural circulation. Contrasting with research that evaluates internal migration issues from a macroeconomic policy perspective, this paper examines the role of individual migrant workers' social networks in shaping their settlement intentions within the framework of informal institutions. Utilizing a large dataset from the China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS), we find that migrant workers with extensive social networks are more likely to settle permanently in cities compared to those with fewer social networks. Importantly, we identify social inclusion and participation in public affairs as key mechanisms through which social networks influence migrant workers' settlement intentions. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that social networks play a particularly significant role in increasing the settlement intentions of first-generation migrants, well-educated migrants, married migrants, and family-based migrants. We subject these results to a series of endogeneity tests and robustness checks, and find that our main conclusion remains consistent and reliable.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145407335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
