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 constr......  hiện toàn bộ
 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
