This paper examines how the exit of public transit options in an urban food desert affects a household's access to and utilization of grocery stores over drug and dollar stores, as well as the healthfulness of the foods these households purchase. I create an original data set of all transportation network changes across 138 cities in the US over the period 2008–2019. I combine this with UPC codes of all consumer packaged goods bought by tens of thousands of urban households over the same period. The exit of public transportation options in an urban food desert is associated with a significant decrease in the number of yearly trips below median income households make to grocery stores and an increase in the number of yearly trips made to drug and dollar stores. Further, households that experience such an exit subsequently buy fewer healthy foods and more unhealthy foods. The results from this study suggest that maintaining public transit infrastructure is an important public policy concern and that cuts to public transit networks directly impact urban households' access to nutritious food.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 5","pages":"1449-1467"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443122","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}

While a New Normal Trade Policy may be fundamental in restoring the European level playing field in international trade, it will not be exempt from costs that will affect regions differently, as geoeconomic fragmentation may significantly hurt low-income regions, negatively affecting living standards. In this paper, we assess the regional income distribution of the New Normal Trade Policy scenario, through MASST5 model simulations. The model simulates GDP growth rates at NUTS2 level for all EU member countries + UK under the assumptions of the new trade policy. Simulations are based on a combination of internally coherent assumptions formalizing the EU's approach to the New Normal Trade Policy, mostly dealing with the risk diversification of trade partners in industries deemed strategic by the EU, with the extra investment in digital technologies, and with a reduction in within EU trade barriers. Estimated gains are spatially heterogeneous. Regions growing fastest include noncapital urban areas, Western European regions, manufacturing regions, and regions with strong institutions. Growth drivers differ, with high-level functions boosting Western regions, while Eastern regions focus on production-related ones. Between-country disparities increase, yet within-country inequalities tend to grow less due to the advantages of nonmanufacturing areas in Western countries; overall these trends would lead to a slowdown in territorial inequalities.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 5","pages":"1488-1505"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443270","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}

To account for the heterogeneity of treatment effects, we estimate the conditional average treatment effect for each region using a marginal treatment effect framework and construct treatment rules based on regional characteristics such as demography, degree of suburbanization, and local production network. We find that the program has positive effects on retail floor space, retail sales per inhabitable area, and retail employment per inhabitable area. However, the treatment effects are significantly heterogeneous and the total welfare gains could have been larger under the proposed treatment rules, which target the cities facing a “modest” decline of city centers. We also demonstrate that the regional characteristics for which the treatment rule achieves the largest welfare gains are different in each outcome. This emphasizes the difficulty of pursuing multiple objectives with a single rule. Although the program was effective for its main target industry, we did not observe any significant effects on general economic outcomes such as land price and income tax revenue.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 5","pages":"1353-1378"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443004","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}

Using census microdata, I document that smaller MZs—initially specialized in goods-producing sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing—experienced disproportionately larger increases in female-to-male employment hours compared to larger urban areas. These changes coincided with a shift toward service-based employment, which is more intensive in female labor. To identify the causal effect of industry shifts on gender employment gaps, I exploit exogenous variation in regional exposure to trade shocks induced by tariff reductions under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and estimate a smooth-varying coefficient (SVC) model to capture how these effects differ along the population size distribution of MZs. The results show that trade-induced declines in the goods sector's employment share significantly increase female relative employment hours, with effects concentrated in smaller cities. These findings underscore the importance of regional industrial specialization and labor demand shifts in shaping gender dynamics in local labor markets.","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 5","pages":"1303-1320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443069","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}

First, it investigates how foreign demand contributes to regional value added through both direct and indirect trade in goods and services. The findings reveal that the relative significance of these direct and indirect pathways in bilateral value-added exports is influenced by the characteristics of both the regions and the destination countries. Indirect pathways, which involve trade through other regions, tend to be more significant for smaller regions and destination countries, and for the South. Conversely, direct pathways are more important for larger territories and countries with contiguous borders. Secondly, the study analyses the many ways regions engage in international value chains and identifies common patterns among them. It finds that regions that participate by providing a relatively higher proportion of domestic value added compared to foreign input are typically those where, in addition to a strong manufacturing sector, advanced services and innovative activities play a significant role in their economic structures. These regions are primarily located in the major Center-Northern areas, along with a few in the South.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 4","pages":"1237-1264"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012592","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}
