Based on corrected nighttime light data and firm-level data from 1998 to 2010, we use an urban sprawl index that properly captures the subtle differences in density distribution within cities, extend a hyperbolic distance specification within a parametric stochastic framework to the analysis of firm green total factor productivity (GTFP), and examine the impact of urban sprawl on firm GTFP. The empirical results show that urban sprawl has a significant negative impact on GTFP. Our results are robust after considering several potential problems. We also examine the possible mechanisms by which urban sprawl affects firm GTFP based on the agglomeration economy perspective. Our findings show that urban sprawl negatively impacts the urban agglomeration economies and hinders the formation of labor pools, intermediate input sharing, and knowledge spillovers, consequently diminishing firm GTFP. Heterogeneity analysis shows that urban sprawl has a more significant impact on small and medium-sized urban firms, firms in low-technology industries, and small and medium-sized firms. The moderating effects reveal that the institutional environment and infrastructure, including transportation infrastructure and information infrastructure, can significantly mitigate the impact of urban sprawl on the firm GTFP.

基于1998 - 2010年修正后的夜间灯光数据和企业层面的数据，我们使用了一个城市扩张指数，该指数恰当地捕捉了城市内部密度分布的细微差异，在参数随机框架内将双曲距离规范扩展到企业绿色全要素生产率（GTFP）的分析中，并检验了城市扩张对企业GTFP的影响。实证结果表明，城市扩张对GTFP具有显著的负向影响。在考虑了几个潜在的问题后，我们的结果是稳健的。本文还从集聚经济的角度探讨了城市扩张影响企业GTFP的可能机制。研究结果表明，城市扩张对城市群经济产生了负面影响，阻碍了劳动力池的形成、中间投入的共享和知识溢出，从而降低了企业GTFP。异质性分析表明，城市扩张对中小城市企业、低技术产业企业和中小企业的影响更为显著。调节效应表明，制度环境和基础设施（包括交通基础设施和信息基础设施）能够显著缓解城市扩张对企业GTFP的影响。

This research delves into the complexities of assessing polycentric development, focusing on Tehran's city-region. Using a systematic analytical approach, we examine geographical boundaries, center thresholds, and measurement indicators over time. Our findings highlight the crucial role of geographical boundaries in understanding polycentricity. We show that the choice between administrative and functional boundaries significantly affects polycentricity measurement, underscoring the importance of careful boundary selection. Moreover, our investigation reveals that specific center selection thresholds do not decisively impact polycentricity measurement. We emphasize the adaptable nature of polycentricity indicators across different boundary and center configurations. However, interpreting polycentricity patterns depends not only on indicator selection but also on the intricate interplay of boundaries and centers. These interconnected dimensions provide comprehensive insights into Polycentric Urban Development (PUD), advocating for improved and harmonious approaches. Our study underscores the delicate balance among boundaries, centers, and indicators in understanding PUD. It suggests refining processes and scales, delineating regions and centers meticulously, and focusing on size distribution and interaction patterns among centers to achieve a more accurate approximation of reality. The polycentricity evaluation of Tehran's metropolitan region can inform revisions to current approaches, frameworks, and indicators, ultimately enhancing the metropolitan regions' evaluation methods, planning, and territorial policy.

本研究深入探讨了评估多中心发展的复杂性，重点关注德黑兰的城市地区。使用系统的分析方法，我们检查地理边界，中心阈值和测量指标随时间的变化。我们的研究结果强调了地理边界在理解多中心性中的关键作用。研究表明，行政边界和功能边界之间的选择显著影响多中心测量，强调了仔细选择边界的重要性。此外，我们的调查显示，特定的中心选择阈值并没有决定性地影响多中心测量。我们强调多中心性指标在不同边界和中心配置上的适应性。然而，对多中心模式的解释不仅取决于指标的选择，还取决于边界和中心之间复杂的相互作用。这些相互关联的维度为多中心城市发展（PUD）提供了全面的见解，倡导改进和和谐的方法。我们的研究强调了理解PUD的边界、中心和指标之间的微妙平衡。建议细化过程和尺度，细致划分区域和中心，关注中心之间的大小分布和相互作用模式，以更准确地逼近现实。德黑兰大都市区的多中心性评估可以为修订当前的方法、框架和指标提供信息，最终加强大都市区的评估方法、规划和领土政策。

In the context of technological progress and economic transition, the urban spatial structure has consistently undergone dynamic evolution. However, the trajectories of polycentric patterns display significant national and regional variations. It is crucial to examine the dynamic evolution of spatial structures within Chinese metropolitan areas amidst economic transitions. Focusing on the Shanghai Metropolitan Area (SMA), this study investigates the temporal dynamics of job distribution and employment centres and considers industry differentiation to understand the evolution of polycentric patterns. Additionally, spatial regression models are utilized to probe the intrinsic mechanisms through which adjustments in industrial structure influence spatial evolution. The findings indicate that both the service and manufacturing sectors have the potential to concentrate employment and form subcentres in the SMA. Nevertheless, within the economic transition context, the downtown area, dominated by the service sector, underwent specialized development, fostering continuous prosperity and the emergence of employment subcentres in the periphery. In contrast, employment centres in suburban areas, dominated by the manufacturing sector, experienced a declining trend. Consequently, the locations of employment clusters in the SMA shifted, concurrently reshaping the relationships between the main centre and subcentres and leading to a transformation from a weaker separated polycentric pattern to a stronger continuous polycentric pattern. This paper elucidates the underlying mechanisms through which industrial transition influences urban spatial structure, offering insights into the evolution of polycentric patterns in the postindustrial era from a local Chinese perspective.

在技术进步和经济转型的背景下，城市空间结构不断经历动态演变。然而，多中心格局的发展轨迹却呈现出显著的国家和地区差异。研究经济转型期中国大都市区内空间结构的动态演变至关重要。本研究以上海大都市区（SMA）为重点，研究了就业岗位分布和就业中心的时间动态，并考虑了产业分化，以了解多中心模式的演变。此外，研究还利用空间回归模型来探究产业结构调整影响空间演变的内在机制。研究结果表明，服务业和制造业都有可能将就业集中起来，在南亚和东南亚地区形成次中心。然而，在经济转型背景下，以服务业为主的市中心区经历了专业化发展，促进了持续繁荣，并在外围形成了就业次中心。相比之下，以制造业为主的郊区就业中心则呈下降趋势。因此，南部和东部地区就业集群的位置发生了变化，同时重塑了主中心和次中心之间的关系，导致从较弱的分离型多中心模式向较强的连续型多中心模式转变。本文阐明了产业转型影响城市空间结构的内在机制，从中国本土的视角为后工业时代多中心格局的演变提供了启示。

This article investigates the surge in Involuntary Part-Time (IPT) employment in Italy from 2004 to 2019, exploring its impact on various socio-economic groups and adopting a spatial perspective. The study tests the hypothesis that technological shifts, specifically routine biased technological change (RBTC), and the expansion of household substitution services contribute to IPT growth. There is a widening negative gap in IPT prevalence among marginalized groups - women, young, and less skilled workers. After controlling for sector and occupation, the higher IPT propensity diminishes but remains significant, hinting at persistent discrimination. Additionally, segregation into more exposed occupations and sectors intensifies over time. Leveraging province-level indicators, and using a Partial Adjustment model, there is statistical support for RBTC’s correlation with IPT, especially among women. The impact of household substitution services is notably pronounced for women, highlighting sector segregation.

本文研究了 2004 年至 2019 年意大利非自愿兼职（IPT）就业的激增，探讨了其对不同社会经济群体的影响，并采用了空间视角。研究检验了这样一个假设，即技术变革，特别是常规偏向性技术变革（RBTC），以及家庭替代服务的扩展，是 IPT 增长的原因。在边缘化群体--妇女、年轻人和技术水平较低的工人--中，IPT 流行率的负差距不断扩大。在对部门和职业进行控制后，较高的 IPT 倾向有所减弱，但仍然显著，这表明歧视依然存在。此外，随着时间的推移，更多职业和部门的隔离也在加剧。利用省一级的指标，并使用部分调整模型，在统计上支持了 RBTC 与 IPT 的相关性，尤其是在妇女中。家庭替代服务对妇女的影响尤为明显，凸显了行业隔离。

This paper assesses the transition of UK regions towards the policy ambitions of “building back greener” and “levelling-up” the UK economy. We use data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods to calculate regional economic and environmental efficiency for 41 UK ITL2 regions between 2005 and 2020, and then assess their “unconditional” and “spatial” transition probabilities of improving one of the two efficiencies or both. We find evidence of a trade-off between the two for more than half of the regions and that the costs of transition are unequally distributed. We also find that regions are more likely to become efficient in both directions if they are already environmentally efficient; less economically efficient regions are more likely to become economically efficient than environmentally efficient. Economic efficiency improvements are easier to achieve than environmental efficiency improvements, requiring stronger policy support for the latter. The high inertia of regions requires central and local authorities’ intervention to reduce regional inequalities and improve both types of efficiency. Whilst we do not find evidence of spatial spillovers for environmental transitions, space (negatively) matters for regional economic efficiency. Without a combination of place-based and national policies, there is no natural regional convergence nor levelling up, whilst the transition to net zero will remain too slow.

本文评估了英国各地区向 "重建绿色 "和 "提升英国经济水平 "的政策目标过渡的情况。我们使用数据包络分析（DEA）方法计算了英国 41 个 ITL2 地区在 2005 至 2020 年间的地区经济和环境效率，然后评估了这些地区提高两种效率中的一种或同时提高两种效率的 "无条件 "和 "空间 "过渡概率。我们发现有证据表明，一半以上的地区在这两种效率之间存在权衡，而且过渡成本分布不均。我们还发现，如果地区已经具有环境效率，则更有可能在两个方向上都提高效率；经济效率较低的地区更有可能提高经济效率，而不是环境效率。经济效率的提高比环境效率的提高更容易实现，后者需要更有力的政策支持。地区的高度惰性要求中央和地方当局进行干预，以减少地区不平等并提高两种效率。虽然我们没有发现环境转型的空间溢出效应，但空间（负面）对区域经济效率很重要。如果不将基于地方的政策与国家政策结合起来，就不会出现自然的区域趋同或均衡化，而向净零过渡的速度将依然过于缓慢。

Despite the continuous expansion of trade and investment agreements between China and South Korea, little is known about the distribution of benefits and losses stemming from synergy and competition at the regional level. This paper aims to investigate the complementary and competitive interactions among 14 economic regions of the two countries concerning bilateral export scale. Using a Dendrinos-Sonis model based on a zero-sum structure, we analyzed the interregional trade patterns between the two countries from 2002 to 2022. The evidence shows that the growth of Seoul metropolitan area is complementary to the growth of Shanghai metropolitan area in terms of regioinal export share, but not vice versa. Central Area in South Korea exhibits widespread complementarity, while Beijing metropolitan leans towards competition.

尽管中韩两国之间的贸易和投资协定不断扩大，但人们对区域层面的协同与竞争所产生的利益分配和损失却知之甚少。本文旨在研究两国 14 个经济区域在双边出口规模方面的互补性和竞争性互动。利用基于零和结构的 Dendrinos-Sonis 模型，我们分析了 2002 年至 2022 年两国之间的地区间贸易模式。结果表明，就地区出口份额而言，首尔都市圈的增长与上海都市圈的增长是互补的，反之亦然。韩国中部地区表现出广泛的互补性，而北京都市圈则倾向于竞争。

We investigate the economic impact of the 2009 earthquake in the L’Aquila labour market area (Italy) through a synthetic difference-in-differences method applied to the 2004–2013 period. The shock immediately disrupted the local economy with a 27.3 % and 38.2 % reduction in employment and the number of firms. However, these effects are not statistically significant when measured 5 years after the earthquake, suggesting that a rebound process affected both dimensions. Such findings are the result of heterogeneous dynamics across the manufacturing and service sectors: the former showed a prolonged contraction in the number of employees and firms, whereas the latter experienced a strong recovery after a short-term negative effect. These dynamics have induced an increase in L’Aquila’s sector dissimilarity from other local labour market areas in Italy.

我们通过一种适用于 2004-2013 年期间的合成差分法，研究了 2009 年地震对意大利拉奎拉劳动力市场地区的经济影响。地震立即扰乱了当地经济，就业人数和企业数量分别减少了 27.3% 和 38.2%。然而，地震发生 5 年后，这些影响在统计上并不显著，这表明这两个方面都受到了反弹过程的影响。这些发现是制造业和服务业不同动态的结果：前者显示出雇员和企业数量的长期萎缩，而后者则在短期负面影响后经历了强劲的复苏。这些动态导致拉奎拉与意大利其他地方劳动力市场地区的行业差异加大。

The paper investigates the effects of internal migration flows on regional convergence in Serbia, a country with large regional disparities, during the period 2000–2018. For this purpose, we implement both the net and the gross (in- and out-) migration approaches. We undertake separate analyses for different categories of the migrant population to explore the impact of migrations involving different levels of human capital. The results show that internal migration flows between NUTS3 units in the observed period mainly fostered divergence, thus contradicting the neoclassical theory. This effect is especially pronounced when considering migrations of the active population and prime-age specialists.

塞尔维亚是一个地区差异较大的国家，本文研究了 2000-2018 年间国内移民流对地区趋同的影响。为此，我们采用了净移民和总（迁入和迁出）移民两种方法。我们对不同类别的移民人口进行了单独分析，以探讨涉及不同人力资本水平的移民的影响。结果表明，在观察期内，NUTS3 单位之间的内部移民流动主要促进了分化，从而与新古典理论相矛盾。当考虑到活跃人口和壮年专家的迁移时，这种影响尤为明显。

The distributional characteristics of Interreg Transnational Programmes and their role in promoting regional cohesion 区域间跨国计划的分配特点及其在促进区域凝聚力方面的作用

Interreg is an instrument of Cohesion Policy promoting cooperation among different organizations of Europe to tackle common challenges. Project funding within Interreg could become competitive, given the strong interest from numerous institutions in participating. This, in turn, may lead to disparities in the number of projects implemented across European regions. If participation is driven by factors such as the economic development level of regions, then the fundamental aim of Cohesion Policy—to reduce the gaps between developed and lagging regions—may not be well served by Interreg, as existing gaps may be exacerbated. Given this issue, the paper focuses on the 12 Interreg transnational programmes, which bring together regions from many different countries. The paper examines the distributional characteristics of these programmes using conventional statistical and network measures with data from the 2014–2020 programming period. It then develops a novel indicator of regional participation levels and constructs and empirically tests a framework for measuring the effect of various socioeconomic, geographical, and demographic factors on the participation levels of EU regions. The analysis reveals differences in the allocation patterns of projects among the programmes and shows that different types of networks are formed. Additionally, the instrument appears to benefit smaller and wealthier regions, which results in counteracting demographic inequalities but simultaneously augmenting economic ones. To address this challenge, the paper provides recommendations for management authorities to make the formation of partnerships more equitable.

Interreg 是 "凝聚政策"（Cohesion Policy）的一个工具，旨在促进欧洲不同组织之间的合作，以应对共同的挑战。由于众多机构都有浓厚的兴趣参与，Interreg 内的项目资助可能会变得竞争激烈。这反过来又可能导致欧洲各地区实施的项目数量存在差异。如果参与是由地区经济发展水平等因素驱动的，那么 Interreg 可能无法很好地实现凝聚政策的基本目标--缩小发达地区与落后地区之间的差距，因为现有差距可能会加剧。考虑到这一问题，本文将重点放在 12 个 Interreg 跨国计划上，这些计划汇集了许多不同国家的地区。本文利用 2014-2020 年计划编制期间的数据，采用传统的统计和网络措施，研究了这些计划的分布特点。然后，论文开发了一个新颖的地区参与水平指标，构建并实证检验了一个框架，用于衡量各种社会经济、地理和人口因素对欧盟地区参与水平的影响。分析揭示了各计划之间项目分配模式的差异，并表明形成了不同类型的网络。此外，该工具似乎有利于较小和较富裕的地区，这导致了人口不平等的抵消，但同时也扩大了经济不平等。为应对这一挑战，本文向管理当局提出了使伙伴关系的形成更加公平的建议。

To address this challenge, the paper provides recommendations for management authorities to make the formation of partnerships more equitable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"103 6","pages":"Article 100057"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530910","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}
