{"title":"Scaling beyond north and south: local agency of Finnish municipalities in European structural funds","authors":"Eeva-Kaisa Prokkola, Fredriika Jakola","doi":"10.1080/09654313.2023.2271522","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09654313.2023.2271522","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIncreasing regional differentiation and discontent in Europe have directed critical attention to European territorial cohesion policy and the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Fund) mechanism. There is wide literature investigating macro-level processes of regional differentiation and cohesion as well as the efficiency of multi-level governance in the implementation of the funding mechanism. This study contributes to the existing multidisciplinary literature on cohesion policy and structural funds by extending an understanding of the ESI Funds system to a local agency perspective with a specific focus on Finnish municipalities and the programme period 2014–2020, characterized by austerity policies, regional discontent and disagreement between the ESI programme regions. The examination offers a new understanding of local agents and beneficiaries’ differential access in the ESI Funds, showing that the agency of municipalities in the ESI Funds is simultaneously enabled and constrained by the multilevel Structural Funds programme’s areas of specialization, national regional policies, partnerships and the local environment. The findings indicate that generating inclusive and equal possibilities for all municipalities would necessitate more attention to the allocation of ESI Funds within the programme regions, not just between them.KEYWORDS: Regional policystructural fundsmunicipalitiesagencyregional development AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the two anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments and suggestions.

Based on dynamic panel data regression results for Polish regions in 2003-2019, we find the positive effect of related variety and the strong negative effect of unrelated variety on TFP. This implies that regions with high related and low unrelated variety optimize TFP. Using the estimated TFP values, we tested for TFP convergence to the technological frontier using convergence tests that take into account significant differences in technological advancement across regions. We reject TFP convergence for all regions, but we find evidence of regional club convergence. The results of the convergence tests obtained for the simulation variants indicate that changes in related and unrelated variety structures may lead to the formation of convergence clubs with the regional technological leader. Furthermore, the changes primarily in related variety structures lead to the convergence of some regions to the regional technological frontier.KEYWORDS: Convergence to the technological frontierknowledge spilloversrelated/unrelated varietyTFPJEL CLASSIFICATIONS: D62, O18, R11 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Market proximity includes both the availability of skilled workers, the ease of finding suppliers and customers and the opportunity to learn from nearby competitors and cooperators (agglomeration effects). However, the most important is this last aspect, which can affect the speed and efficiency of information spillover (and tacit knowledge) in the spirit of Marshall's (Citation1890) ‘industrial atmosphere’.2 An alternative approach is the concept of revealed relatedness based on product space rather than industry classification. Hidalgo et al. (Citation2007) consider that if a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a particular product, it is highly likely that it will also gain an advantage in products that are related to it, e.g. in terms of skills, infrastructure or technology.3 TFP was estimated using the prodest function in STATA statistical package.4 These studies used intermediate consumption (raw materials, components and services) and energy consumption as proxy for unobserved TFP to control endogeneity.5 For the sake of comparison parameters in equation (1) are estimated using both the Rovigatti-Mollisi (RM) and the Wooldridge (WRDG) estimators. The estimation results are reported in Table A1 in the Appendix. TFP is calculated using only the RM estimates.6 For a more extensive discussion of the convergence test method used, its theoretical framework, the testing of convergence across the group and the steps in identifying convergence clubs, see e.g. Phillips and Sul (Citation2007a, Citation2007b), Du (Citation2017), Cieślik and Wciślik (Citation2020) or Misiak (Citation2022).7 We consider Mazowiecki region as the regional technological leader, while if othe","PeriodicalId":48292,"journal":{"name":"European Planning Studies","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135197813","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, practitioners’ values and preferences can also determine the development of neighbourhoods, which has rarely been recognized. Thus, we compared if residents’ and practitioners’ perceptions match regarding 1) factors they considered valuable for neighbourhoods and 2) the development needs of specific neighbourhoods. We studied three Finnish suburbs using practitioner workshops and residential surveys. In general, the practitioners’ and residents’ values matched well. Both groups rated cleanliness, non-traffic related safety, essential services, and green spaces as the most important factors. However, residents valued traffic safety and lighting of routes more than practitioners. The practitioners and residents mostly agreed on how to develop the neighbourhoods in the future. The resident views not fully considered in the practitioners’ development objectives were noise disturbances, and infill development as a threat to green spaces. This study underlined the importance of considering safety and access to green spaces in planning and developing suburbs. The study also revealed the complexity of integrating different aspects of liveability on an individual and neighbourhood/city scale. The integration of different dimensions of liveability in planning may require the use of participatory planning-support tools.","PeriodicalId":48292,"journal":{"name":"European Planning Studies","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590445","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}

Utilizing a balanced panel dataset spanning 15 years from 2003 to 2017 and covering 286 European regions, we conducted a study that integrated collaborative patent data and foreign investments with emerging countries. Our findings indicate that technological collaboration primarily depends on inward FDIs (from emerging countries to Europe) rather than outward FDIs (from Europe to emerging countries). Furthermore, we discovered that a mutually reinforcing process can significantly enhance this collaboration. In this context, such a process acts as a cornerstone for the European Union (EU), offering a potential solution to navigate the paradoxical pressure between the rise of protectionism in response to the imbalances and inequalities stemming from globalization and the need to promote an environment conducive to global openness, competition and innovation.KEYWORDS: Technological collaborationgreenfield investmentsinward and outward foreign direct investmentsEuropean regionsemerging economies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 We are aware of the limits of this choice since the globalisation of innovation is not confined to greenfield (or brownfield) FDIs but involves other forms of investments, such as the outsourcing of R&D activities to foreign partners or R&D strategic alliances (D’Agostino and Santangelo Citation2012).2 In this study, we limited our analysis to EPO patents. We assume that EPO patents are likely to cover at least the most qualitative outputs of the collaborative process between European regions and emerging countries. Moreover, the stringent standards of the European patent examination process assure higher data quality and affordability.3 Despite the limitations concerning the use of patents to measure technological collaborations, this choice is validated in the literature because patents are often used as a proxy to measure the degree of innovation (Kim and Lee Citation2015) as well as of collaboration (De Noni, Ganzaroli, and Orsi Citation2017, De Noni, Orsi, and Belussi Citation2018). In turn, they have been found to be strongly reliable (Acs, Anselin, and Varga Citation2002).4 We also check the model with total inward and outward European FDIs (exclude total bi-directional FDIs with BRICS), and the results are consistent.","PeriodicalId":48292,"journal":{"name":"European Planning Studies","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135899193","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}

In doing so, individuals mobilize their capacity to act, which comprises the total volume of resources accumulated over the course of their life. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on how such capacity is then mobilized for change agency. Therefore, this study seeks to reveal the patterns of how selected agents have used their capacity for change agency and how this is implemented in the specific spatio-temporal setting of an old industrial region. Based on the results of 64 semi-structured interviews conducted with agents of change and local informants in four old industrial towns in Czechia, we identified five basic types of how resources are combined and used during the implementation of change agency – change agencies driven by embodied cultural capital, by bonding social capital, by economic capital, with support from public institutions and those accelerated by symbolic capital.","PeriodicalId":48292,"journal":{"name":"European Planning Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135059370","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 guide spatial development towards sustainability, the analysis of the results shows that local planners need to envision a process design as to advance the understanding of how a site or area can be developed. The act of process design involves pending between processes of contextualization (i.e. exploring five distinguishable domains of planning inquiry) and concretization (i.e. deciding upon a course of action by executing activities that form a process trajectory). Regarding the potential of local planning to develop transformative approaches, it is concluded that: (i) local planners possess capabilities that allow them to probe the future of places and produce insights about prospective change, (ii) the transformative capacity of local planning practices is bound to the development of the identified domains of planning inquiry and (iii) forthcoming evaluations organized around the act of process design can reveal insights regarding the possibilities to put the notion of sustainability into practice at the local level.","PeriodicalId":48292,"journal":{"name":"European Planning Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135783515","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}
