To address this important research gap, we use the negative binomial regression model to identify the impact of digital technology adoption on intercity innovation collaboration, with particular emphasis on the reshaping effect of digital technology on geographical and city hierarchical boundaries. The panel data pertains to intercity co-patents spanning the period from 2012 to 2019 in China. Our findings show that digital technology adoption significantly enhances intercity innovation collaboration. The positive relationship becomes even stronger as the geographical distance between cities increases. Furthermore, digital technology adoption strengthens innovation collaboration not only among first-tier cities but also between first-tier cities with second- and third-tier cities. These results suggest that digital technology can effectively bridge geographical distances and break city hierarchies to a limited extent. These insights can inspire policymakers to harness the power of digital technology to reshape the boundaries of intercity innovation collaboration for inclusive regional development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 5","pages":"1379-1400"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443056","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}

While large cities dominate Europe's demographic dynamics, midsize settlements exhibit stark heterogeneity in population growth, driven by factors such as settlement size, urban hierarchy position, accessibility, and service provision. We find that proximity to cities is the strongest predictor of population growth for both midsize settlements and their respective hinterlands. Service availability also matters, but only within settlements' boundaries. Finally, population growth in midsize settlements' commuting regions is positively associated with both proximity to secondary settlements offering regional-level functions (e.g., hospitals, universities) and with growth of the central-largest settlement.</p>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 5","pages":"1338-1352"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443149","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}

The results show that residing among self-employed co-ethnics is positively related to the engagement in own self-employment, while we find a negative relationship between neighborhood poverty and the likelihood of pursuing a labor market path leading to self-sufficiency. A novel finding is that having self-employed Iraqi neighbors is primarily associated with necessity entrepreneurs, who experience relatively long periods of non-self-sufficiency and limited participation in the regular labor market.

An individual's decision to participate in the labor force is influenced by their neighbors in a spatial sense; that is, spatial neighborhoods affect individual choices related to labor supply. The digital appropriation index was built using intentions and uses of the internet to explain how social interactions between people affect individual labor participation. Spatial econometrics, using individual GPS data (latitude and longitude) in Cali (Colombia), show that social interaction and digital appropriation have positive externalities on labor participation—more appropriation of digital technology results in higher participation in the labor market. Direct effects show that an increase of one percent point (p.p.) in digital appropriation increases labor participation by 19.4 p.p. Indirect effects (externalities) show that an increase of one p.p. in digital appropriation increases labor participation by 8.5 p.p. These externalities of digital appropriation are interesting because active public policies oriented to the use of the Internet increase labor participation and improve labor market efficiency.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 4","pages":"1179-1189"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012057","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}

To fill this gap, we propose a novel approach to the question, relying on multilevel econometric techniques. We empirically analyze how much of the effect shown by institutional quality on regional economic development can be attributed to the quality of national institutions. We argue that ignoring the multilevel structure may lead to over-weighting the real influence of regional institutional quality and, conversely, under-weighting (or directly overlooking) the effect of the country's institutional quality on regional economic development.
