We examine how this capital influences company sales in these culturally and economically intertwined regions. The problem is critical due to the unique nature of borderlands in global trade and cultural exchange. Our novel approach uses hierarchical linear models for comparative analysis between municipalities in the border regions and those in the wider province (NUT III UE). This allows a deeper understanding of the localized effects of human capital. Empirical results reveal significant country and border effects on company sales in the examined case. Spanish companies face disadvantages compared to Portuguese ones, likely due to lower industrial land costs, cheaper labor, and different tax systems in Portugal. The analysis indicates a positive border effect on sales, attributed to geographical and cultural proximity, outweighing the disadvantages of smaller firm size and lower agglomeration in border territories. This research not only highlights the specific context of the Minho River borderlands but also offers broader insights into the role of human capital in regional economic development. This case study provides a foundation for future research and policy formulation in similar border regions worldwide, emphasizing the significance of human capital and its varied impact across different geographical and political contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"103 4","pages":"Article 100035"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105681902400054X/pdfft?md5=bcdd64ec629314da871e2103abee3601&pid=1-s2.0-S105681902400054X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141478781","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}

Why? Perhaps the biggest reason is the ability to tease out important spatial heterogeneity nuances, but also to communicate geographically oriented analysis, planning, management and policy issues in rigorous ways, often as mathematical models, that can be subjected to further scrutiny and evaluation. Further, addressing broad challenges facing emergency response, food production, risk mitigation, transportation, public health, crime, housing and other issues through such approaches has proven an immense benefit to society. This paper focuses on the evolving subfield within regional science of location analysis and modeling, highlighting contributions to date but also detailing exciting areas of advancement involving spatial optimization and geographic information science. The paper includes a reflection on regional science journal publication trends, but also broader patterns of location analytics activity. It is hoped that this review will lead to a reassessment of regional science priorities, and consideration of the role that our specialty areas have in maintaining core strengths as well as potential for growing the discipline in the coming years.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"103 4","pages":"Article 100034"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1056819024000538/pdfft?md5=3f651046181bc87f9ef94ccbe0810707&pid=1-s2.0-S1056819024000538-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141478780","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 literature shows mixed results, from absolute convergence towards a joint long-run distribution to multiple regimes (convergence club). Our results show a broad convergence to an unimodal distribution. Although the GDP distribution was characterized by a twin-peak property in 2000, it tends to disappear over time, bringing, in 2021, to an unimodal distribution. Physical and human capital is the most responsible for the convergence process and the EU cohesion funds. To empirically investigate the question, we first apply alternative techniques of cluster identification. Later, we assess whether clusters and covariates affect the per-capita GDP. We use a novel machine learning algorithm (GPBoost) instead of the more traditional techniques used in the current literature. The results show that a convergence process is at work; physical and human capital are mainly responsible for the gdp explanation. but eu funds play a relevant role as well. moreover, complementarities do exist among these variables.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"103 4","pages":"Article 100033"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1056819024000526/pdfft?md5=6668c324c73f6d53c4aa4fffd3421a45&pid=1-s2.0-S1056819024000526-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141438099","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 capacity for innovation, however, is profoundly influenced by the quality of local institutions. Although the impact of national institutions on innovation is well-documented, the effects of subnational institutional variations on innovation remain underexplored. This paper studies the impact of government agency reforms, designed to enhance local government effectiveness, on the innovation performance of city-regions in China. We examine the adoption of these reforms between 2009 and 2016 as an exogenous shock to regional institutions. Our analysis identifies a positive and significant relationship between improvements in institutional quality and the innovation performance of Chinese city-regions, particularly pronounced in regions with medium to high levels of innovation. The results are robust to a series of checks including placebo and endogeneity tests and potential confounding policies. This research highlights the critical role of government institutions in driving innovation across China, bringing to the fore important regional variations in the adoption of government agency reforms that are defining the country’s innovation landscape.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"103 3","pages":"Article 100023"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1056819024000423/pdfft?md5=68bffdc4a3c393129b4c0cfd8649b963&pid=1-s2.0-S1056819024000423-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140894124","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}
