This study investigates whether improved transit opportunities increase income of nearby residents by improving access to work opportunities. To explore this hypothesis, we employ a difference-in-differences model combined with matching to examine the effects of constructing a light rail transit line on median-household income for affected neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, Minnesota (Minneapolis and state capital St. Paul). We find increased income in "treated" neighborhoods and test whether that increase applies to "incumbent" residents (i.e., original residents pre-rail construction). The findings indicate a significant increase in median household income in neighborhoods close to the new transit line, as well as a decrease in the nonemployment rate, and some evidence of higher wages and longer working hours. We also appraise whether the new transit line led to gentrification, finding no evidence of either gentrification or neighborhood decline. These findings indicate that the increase in median-household income results from incumbent labor-market upgrading and supports the idea that improved transit access benefited many nearby residents. Yet, we find poverty rates are unchanged, suggesting that improved public transit is ineffective in helping the poorest, i.e., benefits are concentrated among those above the poverty line.

本研究探讨改善的交通机会是否通过改善获得工作机会来增加附近居民的收入。为了探索这一假设，我们采用了结合匹配的差异中差异模型来检验建设轻轨交通线路对明尼苏达州双子城（明尼阿波利斯和州首府圣保罗）受影响社区家庭收入中位数的影响。我们发现“处理”社区的收入增加，并测试这种增加是否适用于“现任”居民（即铁路建设前的原始居民）。研究结果表明，在靠近新公交线路的社区，家庭收入中位数显著增加，不就业率下降，一些证据表明工资更高，工作时间更长。我们还评估了新的交通线路是否导致了中产阶级化，没有发现中产阶级化或社区衰落的证据。这些发现表明，中等家庭收入的增加是现有劳动力市场升级的结果，并支持了交通便利使许多附近居民受益的观点。然而，我们发现贫困率没有变化，这表明改善公共交通对帮助最贫困人口是无效的，即福利集中在贫困线以上的人群中。

This paper investigates how pro-environmental preferences interact with structural regional conditions in shaping interregional migration intentions across EU regions. Survey-based individual data are combined with regional indicators in multinomial logit models of short- and long-term migration intentions. Results indicate that pro-environmental preferences are positively and consistently associated with migration intentions, with the strongest effects observed in the highest category across both intention horizons. Regional conditions, measured through the Regional Green Transition Vulnerability (RGTV) index and the Regional Attractiveness Index (tr-RAI), also exert significant influence. Interaction effects suggest that environmentally conscious individuals are more responsive to transition vulnerabilities when forming migration intentions, although these effects differ between short- and long-term horizons. By jointly incorporating attitudinal and structural dimensions, the analysis advances understanding of migration dynamics and highlights the role of environmental values as a driver of spatial mobility, offering insights for policies aiming at reducing territorial disparities and supporting sustainable regional transitions.

本文研究了亲环境偏好如何与结构性区域条件相互作用，形成跨欧盟地区的区域间移民意向。基于调查的个人数据与区域指标相结合，形成短期和长期移民意向的多项逻辑模型。结果表明，亲环境偏好与移民意图呈正相关，并且在两个意图范围内的最高类别中观察到最强的影响。通过区域绿色转型脆弱性指数（RGTV）和区域吸引力指数（tr-RAI）衡量的区域条件也产生了显著影响。相互作用效应表明，有环境意识的个人在形成迁移意图时对过渡脆弱性的反应更敏感，尽管这些影响在短期和长期范围内有所不同。通过结合态度和结构维度，该分析促进了对移民动态的理解，并强调了环境价值作为空间流动驱动因素的作用，为旨在减少地域差异和支持可持续区域转型的政策提供了见解。

The importance of institutions and innovation for regional development is well established. How these two factors interact under different historical legacies and urban-regional contexts remains, however, insufficiently understood. This paper identifies which combinations of institutional and innovation indicators most effectively classify regions into distinct developmental archetypes, revealing critical thresholds that redirect regional trajectories. Employing decision-tree analysis on 233 EU NUTS-2 regions, we analyse 15 indicators spanning institutional quality, technological readiness, business sophistication, and innovation. This methodology uncovers non-linear relationships that traditional approaches cannot capture. The findings demonstrate that institutional quality acts as a necessary condition for innovation-led growth. High-performing regions, predominantly in Western and Northern Europe, benefit from robust institutions and strong innovation outputs. Many lower-performing regions, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, exhibit innovation potential but are constrained by governance deficits. By integrating institutional and innovation indicators within a single analytical framework, we underscore how addressing governance and innovation in tandem can result in balanced and sustainable growth across Europe.

制度和创新对区域发展的重要性是众所周知的。然而，这两个因素如何在不同的历史遗产和城市-区域背景下相互作用仍然没有得到充分的了解。本文确定了制度和创新指标的组合最有效地将区域划分为不同的发展原型，揭示了重定向区域轨迹的关键阈值。通过对233个欧盟nut -2地区的决策树分析，我们分析了15个指标，包括制度质量、技术准备程度、商业成熟度和创新。这种方法揭示了传统方法无法捕捉的非线性关系。研究结果表明，制度质量是创新驱动型增长的必要条件。表现优异的地区（主要在西欧和北欧）受益于健全的制度和强劲的创新产出。许多表现较差的地区，特别是中欧和东欧，虽然表现出创新潜力，但却受到治理赤字的制约。通过在单一分析框架内整合制度和创新指标，我们强调如何将治理和创新相结合，从而实现整个欧洲的平衡和可持续增长。

This study examines the often-underexplored roles of regional linkages and the technological capacity of partner regions in shaping technological branching, particularly in a developing country context. Analysing 127 technology classes across 136 Brazilian regions from 1997 to 2020, we identify that different types of regional linkages are associated with distinct patterns in regional technological trajectories. Intraregional linkages are associated with a lower likelihood of entering new technological specialisations, whereas interregional linkages are associated with a higher likelihood of such entries, with the technological capacity of partner regions moderating these patterns. Collaborations with specialised are linked to greater branching, while linkages with non-specialised partners show weaker or limiting associations. Technological persistence also displays systematic correlations with regional linkages: both intraregional and interregional linkages are positively related to technological persistence, particularly when partners are technologically specialised, while linkages with non-specialised regions are negatively correlated with it. These findings underscore the dual role of regional linkages in technological branching: both intraregional and interregional linkages, particularly those involving specialised regions, are associated with patterns of technological persistence and with the emergence of new technological paths, whereas connections with non-specialised regions are associated with lower probabilities of persistence. This emphasises the importance of technological capacity in relation to patterns of technological branching

本研究审查了区域联系和伙伴区域的技术能力在形成技术分支方面经常未被充分探讨的作用，特别是在发展中国家的情况下。从1997年到2020年，我们分析了巴西136个地区的127种技术类别，发现不同类型的区域联系与区域技术轨迹的不同模式相关。区域内联系与进入新技术专门化的可能性较低有关，而区域间联系与进入新技术专门化的可能性较高有关，伙伴区域的技术能力缓和了这些模式。与专业合作伙伴的合作与更大的分支联系在一起，而与非专业合作伙伴的联系则显示出较弱或有限的联系。技术持久性也显示出与区域联系的系统相关性：区域内和区域间联系都与技术持久性呈正相关，特别是当合作伙伴是技术专门化的时候，而与非专业区域的联系则与技术持久性负相关。这些发现强调了区域联系在技术分支中的双重作用：区域内和区域间的联系，特别是涉及专门区域的联系，与技术持久性的模式和新技术路径的出现有关，而与非专门区域的联系则与持久性的可能性较低有关。这强调了技术能力相对于技术分支模式的重要性

Does the presence of migrants influence innovation at the local level? This paper answers this question using novel data containing fine-grained information on the migrant population and geo-coded data on patent locations for a large set of 19 OECD countries over the 1990–2014 period. We find that a one percentage point increase in the local migrant share increases patent applications by 2.5%. This effect is driven by more urbanised and economically developed localities, where innovation levels are already higher to begin with. However, this impact becomes insignificant when aggregating observations at larger geographical levels, suggesting that the effect of migration on innovation is concentrated in space and features high rates of spatial decay.

移民的存在会影响地方层面的创新吗？本文使用新颖的数据回答了这个问题，这些数据包含1990年至2014年期间19个经合组织国家的移民人口的细粒度信息和专利地点的地理编码数据。我们发现，本地移民比例每增加一个百分点，专利申请就会增加2.5%。这种效应是由城市化程度更高、经济更发达的地区推动的，这些地区的创新水平本来就更高。然而，当在更大的地理水平上聚集观测数据时，这种影响变得微不足道，这表明移民对创新的影响集中在空间上，并且具有高的空间衰减率。

There are numerous measures of place-based quality of life, accompanied by ongoing debate over which factors should be included. Past studies have predominately relied on aspatial, subjectively weighted combinations of different place-based characteristics. Little attention has been given to the rigor and appropriateness of the methodologies used to develop these measures. In this study we conduct a sensitivity analysis of methodological choices in the construction of quality of life indices using U.S. county-level data. We evaluate six different methods for developing a composite index, comparing Geographically Weighted Principal Component Analysis (GWPCA), Spatial Principal Component Analysis (SPCA), and Spatial Bayesian Factor Analysis (SBFA) with their aspatial counterparts. Our evaluation is twofold: conceptually, by examining underlying assumptions of each method, and practically, by assessing the consistency of results. We compare U.S. county-level quality of life ranking across methods and levels of rurality. While quality of life measures are generally highly correlated across methods, we find that the choice of spatial method does affect the rankings of individual counties. Notably, the most urban and most rural counties exhibit the greatest sensitivity to methodological choice. These findings underscore the importance of sensitivity analysis, particularly in urban and rural contexts, to better understand and account for the complex and spatially varying factors shaping quality of life.

有许多基于地点的生活质量衡量标准，伴随而来的是关于哪些因素应该包括在内的争论。过去的研究主要依赖于不同地点特征的空间、主观加权组合。很少注意制定这些措施所用方法的严谨性和适当性。在这项研究中，我们使用美国县级数据，对构建生活质量指数的方法选择进行敏感性分析。我们评估了六种不同的构建复合指数的方法，并将地理加权主成分分析（GWPCA）、空间主成分分析（SPCA）和空间贝叶斯因子分析（SBFA）与空间主成分分析（SPCA）进行了比较。我们的评估是双重的：概念上，通过检查每种方法的潜在假设，实际上，通过评估结果的一致性。我们比较了美国县级生活质量排名的不同方法和农村水平。虽然生活质量的衡量指标通常在不同的方法之间高度相关，但我们发现空间方法的选择确实影响了单个县的排名。值得注意的是，大多数城市和大多数农村县对方法选择表现出最大的敏感性。这些发现强调了敏感性分析的重要性，特别是在城市和农村背景下，以更好地理解和解释影响生活质量的复杂和空间变化因素。

This paper uses a non-linear dynamic factor model to investigate the innovation convergence dynamics across US states from 1992 to 2020. Our results indicate that multiple innovation clubs exist within the US, and the heterogeneity between those clusters is increasing over time. Moreover, we observe a geographical pattern in the club membership, with several states from the Western US (especially on the Pacific Coast) and the Northeastern US (particularly New England) forming part of the top cluster. While education and industrial structure are important determinants of innovation clubs, corruption emerges as the most decisive factor in determining whether a US state is on a high or low-innovation trajectory.

本文采用非线性动态因子模型对1992 - 2020年美国各州创新趋同动态进行了研究。研究结果表明，美国存在多个创新俱乐部，且这些集群之间的异质性随着时间的推移而增加。此外，我们观察到俱乐部成员的地理格局，来自美国西部（特别是太平洋沿岸）和美国东北部（特别是新英格兰）的几个州构成了顶级集群的一部分。虽然教育和产业结构是创新俱乐部的重要决定因素，但在决定美国一个州是处于高创新轨道还是低创新轨道上，腐败成为最具决定性的因素。

Navigating change: Residential relocation, commuting behaviours, and built environments 导航变化：住宅搬迁、通勤行为和建筑环境

Amid the growing enthusiasm to use land-use and transport policy measures to encourage greater sustainable travel, the need to understand the nuance of where such interventions are effective, how they work, and who they impact is essential. Yet, the relative importance of who we are and where we live in shaping travel behaviours remains contested. This paper examines this relationship more closely by studying the relative importance of built environment characteristics, life-stage transitions, and selection mechanisms in shaping commuting behaviours across the UK. To do this, linear probability models are used to investigate how these variables impact the probability of switching commute mode. Individual-level longitudinal data capturing the period immediately before relocation and multiple periods post-relocation are paired with highly disaggregated spatial data. I find that life-events and selection mechanisms exert greater influence over the probability of switching commute mode than static built environment measures, while dynamic measures appear more prominent (especially when considering the probability of switching to public transport), implying that commute mode choices depend less on where people live than on how easily they can move. The probability of switching to cars is linked to life disruptions and socioeconomic pressures, particularly among low-income individuals. The probability of switching to active modes is highly individualised, especially among high-income individuals. Mid-income individuals respond dynamically to a broad range of triggers, appearing sensitive to cost and convenience. From a policy standpoint then, interventions targeting accessibility and socioeconomic constraints may be more effective in shaping travel behaviour than static land-use strategies.

随着人们越来越热衷于利用土地利用和交通政策措施来鼓励更大程度的可持续旅行，了解这些干预措施在何处有效、如何起作用以及影响何人的细微差别至关重要。然而，我们是谁和我们住在哪里在塑造旅行行为方面的相对重要性仍然存在争议。本文通过研究建筑环境特征、生命阶段转变和选择机制在塑造全英国通勤行为中的相对重要性，更密切地考察了这种关系。为此，使用线性概率模型来研究这些变量如何影响切换通勤模式的概率。个人层面的纵向数据捕获搬迁前的一段时间和搬迁后的多个时期，与高度分解的空间数据配对。我发现生活事件和选择机制对通勤模式切换概率的影响比静态建筑环境措施更大，而动态措施显得更突出（特别是在考虑切换到公共交通工具的概率时），这意味着通勤模式的选择与其说取决于人们住在哪里，不如取决于他们移动的容易程度。转向汽车的可能性与生活中断和社会经济压力有关，尤其是在低收入人群中。转向主动模式的可能性是高度个性化的，尤其是在高收入人群中。中等收入人群对各种诱因的反应是动态的，对成本和便利性显得很敏感。因此，从政策角度来看，针对可达性和社会经济限制的干预措施可能比静态土地利用战略更有效地塑造旅行行为。
