Accesibilidad y provisión de servicios de interés general en las áreas rurales de la Unión Europea: un análisis a partir del Eurobarómetro
2014
La finalidad de este trabajo es ofrecer un estado de la cuestión sobre el acceso y provisión de Servicios de Interés General (SeIG) en las áreas rurales de la Unión Europea. Se identifican fuerzas de cambio, oportunidades y dificultades relativas a los SeIG que pueden contribuir a impulsar o ralentizar los procesos de desarrollo rural. Se lleva a cabo una revisión de las principales aproximaciones teóricas y se presentan diversos análisis empíricos a partir de los escasos datos homogéneos disponibles. A partir del conocimiento adquirido se formula un conjunto de reflexiones sobre la función de los SeIG en los procesos de cambio rural en la UE.
Reformulación y necesidad de una nueva geografía regional flexible
2001
Joaquin.Farinos@uv.es FARINÓS DASÍ, Joaquin. La recuperación del territorio en el seno de las ciencias sociales ha provocado la reemergencia de la Geografía Regional. Si inicialmente su orientación fue primordialmente económica hoy es política, tanto desde el punto de vista de las policies como de la polity, aglutinadas hoy en torno a la planificación del desarrollo territorial. Ésta representa una oportunidad estratégica para la revalorización social de la Geografía y para el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías. Retrieval of territory by social sciences has promoted reemergence of Regional Geography. Even though initially his course was basically economic now is political, both from policy a…
Note about the concept of ‘Net Multipliers'
2002
International audience; Net multipliers, as introduced by Oosterhaven and Stelder (2002) accept outputs as entries instead of final demand. They are found by multiplying ordinary multipliers by the final demand ratio over the sector's output. This pragmatic solution suffers from ratio instability over time. The alternative net multipliers proposed here are based on the interpretation of the Leontief inverse matrix for the effects generated at each round. The new solution is not sensitive to the size of impacts. Now net multiplier is equal to the corresponding ordinary multiplier minus one, and the ordering of multipliers is unchanged.
Total Factor Productivity Convergence Amongst Italian Regions: Some Evidence from Panel Unit Root Tests
2009
Byrne J. P., Fazio G. and Piacentino D. Total factor productivity convergence among Italian regions: some evidence from panel unit root tests. Regional Studies. This paper employs panel unit root tests to investigate convergence in total factor productivity (TFP) among Italian regions. These tests provide an inference valid in the presence of heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, and when the cross-sectional dimension is smaller than the time dimension, allowing the investigation of convergence among different subsets of regions. The results add a further dimension to the conventional view on growth dynamics in the Italian peninsula depicting a lack of regional TFP convergence not o…
ECONOMIC POLICIES AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN LATIN AMERICA
2009
Michele Alacevich and Andrea Costa examine the strong interrelations between urban planning and economic planning that developed in the early 1950s in Latin America, where arguably the multifaceted programming effort of the post-Second World War era gained its greater momentum. The plan was considered the main tool, common to economic as well as to urban policies, while equilibrium was the principal concept which framed the elaboration and the implementation of any development plan. Alacevich and Costa pay particular attention to the case of Colombia, visited by some of the most illustrious modernist architects such as Le Corbusier and José Luis Sert, who were attracted by the chance to rea…
Gentrifizierung in periurbanen Räumen Frankreichs: Am Beispiel des Umlandes von Nancy
2019
International audience; Gentrifizierungsprozesse in periurbanen Räumen Frankreichs fanden in der Forschung bisher kaum Beachtung; sie wurden als naheliegende Prozesse in Kernstädten verstanden und untersucht. Zudem wurde eher die Krise der Vorstädte, der banlieues beachtet, womit Stigmatisierung und Ausgrenzung analyseleitend wurden. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird nun hingegen am Beispiel des Umlandes der Metropole Nancy (Region Grand Est) Gentrifizierung als Entwicklung herausgestellt, die sich ebenfalls als konstitutiv für periurbane Räume und damit kleinere Umlandgemeinden von Städten bzw. insbesondere Metropolen andeutet. Vor dem Hintergrund einer Beleuchtung bisheriger Forschungszugänge …
Uz vietu balstītas pieejas izmantošana reģionālās attīstības plānošanas pilnveidošanai Latvijā
2014
Promocijas darba „Uz vietu balstītas pieejas izmantošana reģionālās attīstības plānošanas pilnveidošanai Latvijā” ANOTĀCIJA Eiropas Savienības reģionālajā attīstībā pakāpeniski notiek virzība no reģionālo atšķirību mazināšanas uz reģionālās attīstības izaugsmi, kā arī pieaug reģionu un vietējās pārvaldes iesaiste un loma reģionālās attīstības plānošanā. Līdz ar izmaiņām apkārtējā vidē pieaug nepieciešamība rast efektīvākus reģionālās attīstības plānošanas instrumentus, lai sekmētu teritoriju izaugsmi un dzīves kvalitātes paaugstināšanu. Uz vietu balstīta pieeja ir reģionālās attīstības plānošanā izmantojama metode, kuras pamatā ir noteiktā vietā pieejamo teritoriālo resursu un izaugsmi sekm…
Beyond GDP: an analysis of the socio-economic diversity of European regions
2019
International audience; This paper aims to analyze the socioeconomic diversity of the European Union (EU-28) regions from a dynamic perspective. For that purpose, we combine a series of exploratory space-time analysis approaches to multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) applied to a large range of indicators collected at the NUTS-2 level for the period 2000–2015 for the EU-28. First, we find that the first factor of MFA, interpreted as economic development (ECO-DEV), is spatially clustered and that a moderate convergence process is at work between European regions from 2000 to 2015. Second, when comparing these results with those obtained for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, we show that th…
GÉOCARREFOUR KEY WORDS Local level development planning, night-time, light pollution, branding, energy transition
2015
La pollution lumineuse est progressivement devenue un enjeu environnemental. Elle produit ainsi de nouveaux périmètres pour l’action publique, dans un contexte de transition énergétique incitant à modifier les pratiques d’éclairage public pour protéger la « nuit noire ». Pour les territoires de faible densité, cette vision renouvelée de la nuit constitue une « aubaine » en termes de développement territorial. Des processus différenciés de protection, de labellisation et de mise en tourisme des « ressources environnementales nocturnes » émergent, devenant ainsi un levier de la transition énergétique. For several decades, the negative impacts of artificial light on environmental mechanisms ha…
Regional financial development and bank competition: effects on firms' growth
2009
Fernandez de Guevara J. and Maudos J. Regional financial development and bank competition: effects on firms' growth, Regional Studies. This paper analyses the effect of regional financial development and bank competition on firms' growth using the Spanish provinces as a testing ground. The results show that firms in industries with a greater dependence on external finance grow faster in more financially developed provinces. The results also show that bank monopoly power has an inverted-‘U’ effect on firms' growth, suggesting that market power has its highest effect at intermediate values. The effect is heterogeneous among firms according to the financial dependence of the industry to which …
