The data utilized comprehends the time period 2006–2014 for innovation active companies within the Belgian region of Flanders that is adjacent to Brussels which accommodates EU authorities. We find evidence that companies located closer to the EC are more likely to receive an innovation subsidy from the EU. This result suggests that geographic proximity, which can be closely linked to opportunities for lobbying and networking, can play a role in the subsidy framework. Companies located closer will have lower costs in interacting with the EU authorities and gathering tacit knowledge. Thus, they will suffer less under information asymmetry and gain an advantage compared to peers located farther away. In addition, we test whether focal companies’ group members located closer to the EC exert a positive effect on the likelihood of being granted for the focal company. We do not find evidence for such an effect, indicating that knowledge potentially gathered by a group member does not lead to an increase in focal companies’ subsidy receipt likelihood. Placebo tests utilizing alternative subsidy granting authorities in Brussels confirm our expectation that geographic proximity loses its importance when authorities are considered which are not heavily in focus of lobbying and networking parties compared to EU authorities.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 4","pages":"1017-1038"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012934","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}

However, few studies have integrated travel into general equilibrium models to assess its welfare and general equilibrium impacts. This study quantifies the impact on regional development of travel by developing a spatial general equilibrium model including trade, migration, and travel to quantify and compare the different effects of these three spatial linkages. We structurally estimate the model using data from 287 prefecture-level cities in China. The counterfactual analysis reveals that travel significantly impacts regional economic outputs, with effects roughly equivalent to those of migration. Additionally, travel demonstrates distinct mechanisms and effects on population distribution compared to the other two linkages. This study provides both theoretical and empirical insights into how various types of spatial linkages—particularly travel—affect interregional economic development. The findings are particularly pertinent for evaluating spatial policies, such as transportation infrastructure improvement and urban cluster development.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 4","pages":"893-927"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.12760","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013117","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}

However, existing literature lacks substantial empirical evidence of the impact of e-retailers due to its ambiguous service areas. Our study aims to address this gap by focusing on e-grocery giants Amazon Fresh and Instacart to examine their influences on local brick-and-mortar businesses within the grocery retail industry. We leverage e-grocery's clearly defined service areas at the zip code level to employ a difference-in-difference approach with longitudinal establishment-level records from the National Establishment Times Series (NETS) database in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. We find that retail competitors experience an annual decline in sales following Amazon Fresh's entry into the local market. In response, these retailers partially adjust operations, reducing their headcount. Notably, the negative impacts disproportionately affect small businesses, and the effects are spatially widespread, irrespective of proximity to major retail clusters anchored by big-box stores. Over time, the presence and continuous operations of Amazon Fresh that offers both sales and delivery of goods exert a heavier burden on local retail stores. In contrast, we do not find such evidence of disruptive effects for Instacart, which is increasingly becoming a dominant grocery e-commerce model in partnership with local store chains over independent operations.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 3","pages":"843-865"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.12765","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256368","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}

But it has proven difficult to disentangle the influence of those that an individual shares a residential space with from that of other peers, such as work colleagues and family members. Neighbors, work colleagues, and family members constitute different sources of information. The decision to accept or refuse a vaccine is intensely personal and involves the processing of information about phenomena likely to be unfamiliar to most individuals. To examine the information effect of different peer groups we use microlevel data on COVID-19 vaccination in Sweden. We investigate the extent to which an individual's decision not to get vaccinated is influenced by the presence of other unvaccinated individuals in their household, workplace, or residential neighborhood. Our findings reveal that workplace peers tend to be most strongly connected to the decision not to get vaccinated. We also find that the role of neighborhood peers tends to be overestimated when we do not control for peers at home and at work.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 3","pages":"866-886"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.12767","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256369","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}

One of the human behaviors that can be most affected by weather conditions is that of personal travel, including commuting, an activity that millions of workers worldwide engage in daily. Within this framework, we analyze the relationships between weather conditions and daily commuting in the US. To that end, we use twenty nationally representative American Time Use Surveys, combined with daily weather data at the county level, spanning the period from 2003 to 2023. The analysis reveals significant relationships between daily weather conditions and commuting mode choices. Specifically, rainy days, high temperatures, and elevated snowfall are positively associated with an increased probability of using cars as the primary commuting mode. In contrast, these weather conditions exhibit a negative relationship with alternative modes of transport, such as public transit or walking. Further findings suggest that these estimates are predominantly driven by days characterized by extremely high temperatures, heavy precipitation, and light snowfall. Finally, our results suggest adaptation to higher temperatures in warmer regions. These results are important for the design of policies aimed at mitigating the mobility consequences of climate change.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 3","pages":"818-842"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.12764","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256282","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}
