The spatial distribution of welfare costs of Renewable Portfolio Standards in the United States electricity sectorLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 11 - Trang 269-287 - 2018
Anthony Oliver, Madhu Khanna
In the US, renewable energy policy has largely followed a regional approach; 29
states are currently implementing Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) at
varying levels of stringency, while the other states have no renewable energy
policy. Requiring individual states to achieve given targets is likely to be
less efficient and lead to different levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement
than a nation... hiện toàn bộ
CSR and smart city progress: a proposed model for urban developmentLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 17 - Trang 1-18 - 2023
Kuldeep Singh, Prasanna Kolar, Sireesha Nanduri, Vedantam Seetha Ram, Divyesh Kumar
Urban areas are experiencing a rapid increase in their population. According to
the UN, it is anticipated that by 2050, over 72% of the global population will
reside in cities. Indian companies contemplating socially responsible activities
outside than traditional CSR projects might help India’s urban development as
public–private partnerships and huge enterprises get increasingly active in

Further evidence on the geographical concentration of venture capital investmentsLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 229-235 - 2017
Medcalfe, Simon K., Thompson, Mark A.
This study provides an alternative examination into the dynamics of US venture
capital investments across different geographical markets. A simple
concentration index is developed to measure the size of venture capital
investments by region relative to the US total venture capital investments. The
time-series properties of this concentration index are examined; in particular,
a series of unit root... hiện toàn bộ
Institutional quality and COVID-19 vaccination: does decentralization matter?Letters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 16 - Trang 1-24 - 2023
Chiara F. Del Bo
Vaccination campaigns are one of the factors that can help mitigate the adverse
effects of viral pandemics. The aim of this paper is to understand the
institutional factors that are associated with a higher success rate, measured
by the percentage of vaccinated population against COVID-19 across countries.
Along with supply side determinants, institutional factors, related, at the
national level, ... hiện toàn bộ
Local multiplier effect of the tradable sector on the Brazilian labor marketLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 14 - Trang 269-286 - 2021
Roberta de Moraes Rocha, Breno Caldas de Araújo
The industrial sector has significant economic importance to the national and
local economy, especially because it accounts for a significant portion of
national employment and generates a multiplier effect on other economic sectors
that goes beyond regional and national geographical boundaries. For these
reasons, among others, the sector is often targeted by public policies to
encourage regional ... hiện toàn bộ
On the examination of the decoupling effect of air pollutants from economic growth: a convergence analysis for the USLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 15 - Trang 691-707 - 2022
Michael L. Polemis, Panagiotis Fotis, Panayiotis G. Tzeremes, Nickolaos G. Tzeremes
The scope of this study is twofold. First, three alternative decoupling
indicators associated with the related global (carbon dioxide emissions) and
local air pollutants (e.g., sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions) for the
US regions are estimated over the period 1990–2017 based on eight related
decoupling criteria. Second, by employing the Phillips and Sul methodology, we
examine for the f... hiện toàn bộ
An analysis of adverse selection, entrepreneurial activity, and the decision to go publicLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 3 - Trang 79-90 - 2010
Amitrajeet A. Batabyal
We study a regional economy with a large number of entrepreneurs who own firms
and who want to go public. Specifically, our analysis focuses on the contractual
interaction between a representative risk averse entrepreneur who owns a firm
and a risk neutral monopolistic investment bank that proposes the terms of the
initial public offering (IPO) that is placed in the market. First, we determine
the... hiện toàn bộ
The role of spillovers when evaluating regional development interventions: evidence from administrative upgrading in ChinaLetters in Spatial and Resource Sciences - Tập 17 - Trang 1-25 - 2024
Xiaoxuan Zhang, Chao Li, John Gibson
Direct effects of regional development interventions on targeted areas may be
amplified by positive spillovers from elsewhere or offset by negative
spillovers. Yet spillovers are often ignored in the applied literature, where
impact analyses based on difference-in-differences typically treat spatial units
as independent of their neighbours. We study spatial spillovers from a popular
regional devel... hiện toàn bộ
